NAME
       gif2tiff - create a TIFF file from a GIF87 format image file

SYNOPSIS
       gif2tiff [options] input.gif output.tif

DESCRIPTION
       gif2tiff  converts a file in the GIF87 format to TIFF.  The TIFF image is created as a palette image, with samples compressed with the Lem-
       pel-Ziv and Welch algorithm (Compression=5). These characteristics can be overridden or explicitly specified  with  the	options  described
       below.

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

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

		       -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.

OPERANDS
       The following operands are supported:

       input.gif       The name of the input file that contains GIF87 data.

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