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 (PlanarConfigura-
       tion=1), compressed with the Lempel-Ziv & Welch algorithm (Compression=5), and with each strip no more than 8 kilobytes.  These	character-
       istics 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  Lem-
	      pel-Ziv & Welch (the default).

       -p     Explicitly  select  the  planar configuration used in organizing data samples in the output image: -p contig for samples packed con-
	      tiguously, 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 approxi-
	      mately 8 kilobytes.

BUGS
       Does not record colormap information.
