e.g. +.B "\-c g3:2d:fill" +to get 2D-encoded data with byte-aligned EOL codes. +.IP +.SM LZW +compression can be specified together with a +.I predictor +value. +A predictor value of 2 causes +each scanline of the output image to undergo horizontal +differencing before it is encoded; a value +of 1 forces each scanline to be encoded without differencing. +LZW-specific options are specified by appending a ``:''-separated +list to the ``lzw'' option; e.g. +.B "\-c lzw:2" +for +.SM LZW +compression with horizontal differencing. +.TP +.B \-f +Specify the bit fill order to use in writing output data. +By default, +.I tiffcp +will create a new file with the same fill order as the original. +Specifying +.B "\-f lsb2msb" +will force data to be written with the FillOrder tag set to +.SM LSB2MSB , +while +.B "\-f msb2lsb" +will force data to be written with the FillOrder tag set to +.SM MSB2LSB . +.TP +.B \-l +Specify the length of a tile (in pixels). +.I tiffcp +attempts to set the tile dimensions so +that no more than 8 kilobytes of data appear in a tile. +.TP +.B \-p +Specify the planar configuration to use in writing image data +that has one 8-bit sample per pixel. +By default, +.I tiffcp +will create a new file with the same planar configuration as +the original. +Specifying +.B "\-p contig" +will force data to be written with multi-sample data packed +together, while +.B "\-p separate" +will force samples to be written in separate planes. +.TP +.B \-r +Specify the number of rows (scanlines) in each strip of data +written to the output file. +By default, +.I tiffcp +attempts to set the rows/strip +that no more than 8 kilobytes of data appear in a strip. +.TP +.B \-s +Force the output file to be written with data organized in strips +(rather than tiles). +.TP +.B \-t +Force the output file to be written wtih data organized in tiles +(rather than strips). +options can be used to force the resultant image to be written +as strips or tiles of data, respectively. +.TP +.B \-w +Specify the width of a tile (in pixels). +.I tiffcp +attempts to set the tile dimensions so +that no more than 8 kilobytes of data appear in a tile. +.SH EXAMPLES +The following concatenates two files and writes the result using +.SM LZW +encoding: +.RS +.nf +tiffcp -c lzw a.tif b.tif result.tif +.fi +.RE +.PP +To convert a G3 1d-encoded +.SM TIFF +to a single strip of G4-encoded data the following might be used: +.RS +.nf +tiffcp -c g4 -r 10000 g3.tif g4.tif +.fi +.RE +(1000 is just a number that is larger than the number of rows in +the source file.) +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.IR pal2rgb (1), +.IR tiffinfo (1), +.IR tiffcmp (1), +.IR tiffmedian (1), +.IR tiffsplit (1), +.IR libtiff (3) |
