NAME
       tiffsv - save an image from the framebuffer in a TIFF file (Silicon Graphics version)

SYNOPSIS
       tiffsv [ options ] output.tif [ x1 x2 y1 y2 ]

DESCRIPTION
       tiffsv  saves  all or part of the framebuffer in a file using the Tag Image File Format, Revision 6.0.  By default, the image is saved 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 be overridden, or explicitly specified with the options described below.

OPTIONS
       -b     Save the image as a greyscale image as if it were processed by tiff2bw(1).  This option is included for compatibility with the stan-
              dard scrsave(6D) program.

       -c     Specify the compression to use for data written to the output file: none for no compression, packbits for PackBits compression, jpeg
              for baseline JPEG compression, zip for Deflate compression, and lzw for Lempel-Ziv & Welch compression (default).

              LZW  compression  can be specified together with a 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.  -c lzw:2 for LZW compression with
              horizontal differencing.

       -p     Specify the planar configuration to use in writing image data.  By default, tiffsv will create a new  file  with  the  data  samples
              packed  contiguously.   Specifying -p contig will force data to be written with multi-sample data packed together, while -p separate
              will force samples to be written in separate planes.

       -r     Specify the number of rows (scanlines) in each strip of data written to the output file.  By default, tiffsv  attempts  to  set  the
              rows/strip that no more than 8 kilobytes of data appear in a strip.

NOTE
       Except  for  the  use of TIFF, this program is equivalent to the standard scrsave program.  This means, for example, that you can use it in
       conjunction with the standard icut program simply by creating a link called scrsave, or by creating a  shell  script  called  scrsave  that
       invokes tiffgt with the appropriate options.

BUGS
       If  data  are  saved  compressed  and  in  separate  planes, then the rows in each strip is silently set to one to avoid limitations in the
       libtiff(3TIFF) library.
