## NAME

| sgi2tiff − create a TIFF file from an SGI image file

## SYNOPSIS

| sgi2tiff [ options ] input.rgb output.tif

## DESCRIPTION

| sgi2tiff converts a file in the SGI image format to TIFF. By default, the TIFF image is created with data samples packed (PlanarConfiguration=1), compressed with the Lempel-Ziv & Welch algorithm (Compression=5), and with each strip no more than 8 kilobytes. These characteristics can overridden, or explicitly specified with the options described below.

## OPTIONS

| −c |  | Specify a compression scheme to use when writing image data: −c none for no compression, -c packbits for the PackBits compression algorithm), -c jpeg for the baseline JPEG compression algorithm, -c zip for the Deflate compression algorithm, and −c lzw for Lempel-Ziv & Welch (the default). |
| −p |  | Explicitly select the planar configuration used in organizing data samples in the output image: −p contig for samples packed contiguously, and −p separate for samples stored separately. By default samples are packed. |
| −r |  | Write data with a specified number of rows per strip; by default the number of rows/strip is selected so that each strip is approximately 8 kilobytes. |

## BUGS

| Does not record colormap information.
