Tools Overview</font>
|
|
Packit |
85355f |
This software distribution comes with a small collection of
|
|
Packit |
85355f |
programs for converting non-TIFF format images to TIFF and for
|
|
Packit |
85355f |
manipulating and interrogating the contents of TIFF images. Several
|
|
Packit |
85355f |
of these tools are useful in their own right. Many of them however
|
|
Packit |
85355f |
are more intended to serve as programming examples for using the
|
|
Packit |
85355f |
TIFF library.
|
|
Packit |
85355f |
Device-dependent Programs
|
|
Packit |
85355f |
There are two device-dependent programs that serve as simple
|
|
Packit |
85355f |
examples for writing programs to display and save TIFF images.
|

85355f |
facilities described elsewhere.
