ppm2tiff

ppm2tiff(1)							   User Commands						       ppm2tiff(1)

NAME

       ppm2tiff - create a TIFF file from a PPM image file

SYNOPSIS

       ppm2tiff [options] [input.ppm] output.tif

DESCRIPTION

       ppm2tiff  converts a file in the PPM image format to TIFF. By default, the TIFF image is created with data samples packed (PlanarConfigura-
       tion=1), compressed with the Lempel-Ziv and Welch algorithm (Compression=5), and with each strip no more than 8 kilobytes. These character-
       istics can be overridden or explicitly specified with the options described below.

       If  the PPM file contains grayscale data, the PhotometricInterpretation tag is set to 1 (min-is-black). Otherwise, the PhotometricInterpre-
       tation tag is set to 2 (RGB).

       If no PPM file is specified on the command line, ppm2tiff reads from the standard input.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -c	       Specify a compression scheme to use when writing image data:

		       -c jpeg		       Baseline JPEG compression algorithm.

		       -c lzw		       Lempel-Ziv and Welch algorithm. This is the default algorithm.

		       -c none		       No compression.

		       -c packbits	       PackBits compression algorithm.

		       -c zip		       Deflate compression algorithm.

       -r	       Write data with a specified number of rows per strip. By default, the number of rows per strip is  selected  so	that  each
		       strip is approximately 8 kilobytes.

       -R	       Mark the resultant image to have the specified X and Y resolution, in dots per inch.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       input.ppm       The name of the input file that contains PPM data.

       output.tif      The name of the output file that contains TIFF data.
