Tools Overview</font>
Packit 7838c8

This software distribution comes with a small collection of

Packit 7838c8
programs for converting non-TIFF format images to TIFF and for
Packit 7838c8
manipulating and interrogating the contents of TIFF images. Several
Packit 7838c8
of these tools are useful in their own right. Many of them however
Packit 7838c8
are more intended to serve as programming examples for using the
Packit 7838c8
TIFF library.

Device-dependent Programs

Packit 7838c8
There are two device-dependent programs that serve as simple
Packit 7838c8
examples for writing programs to display and save TIFF images.
Packit 7838c8
Packit 7838c8
Packit 7838c8
Packit 7838c8
<tt>tiffgt    </tt>
Packit 7838c8
Display the contents of one or more TIFF images using OpenGL.
Packit 7838c8
The software makes extensive use of the <tt>TIFFRGBAImage</tt>
Packit 7838c8
facilities described elsewhere.

Packit 7838c8
applying the colormap
Packit 7838c8
Packit 7838c8
Packit 7838c8
<tt>ppm2tiff</tt>
Packit 7838c8
A quick hack that converts 8-bit PPM format images to TIFF

<tt>thumbnail</tt></tt>
Packit 7838c8
Copy a bilevel TIFF to one that includes 8-bit greyscale
Packit 7838c8
"thumbnail images" for each page; it is provided as an example of
Packit 7838c8
how one might use the <tt>SubIFD</tt> tag (and the library support
Packit 7838c8
for it)
Packit 7838c8
Packit 7838c8

the directory information, but does check all the data)
Packit 7838c8
Packit 7838c8
Packit 7838c8
<tt>tiffcp</tt>

extraction of multiple sections and exporting to one or more files.
Packit 7838c8
It extends the functionality of tiffcp to support additional bit
Packit 7838c8
depths in strips and tiles and enhances the selection capabilities of
Packit 7838c8
tiffsplit. Bilevel images can be inverted and images may be split into
