TIFFSV(1)                 UNIX System V(May 2, 1989)                  TIFFSV(1)


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

SYNOPSIS
      tiffsv [ -none ] [ -packbits ] [ -lzw ] [ -contig ] [ -separate ] [
      -rowsperstrip n ] name [ x1 x2 y1 y2 ]

DESCRIPTION
      Tiffsv saves all or part of the framebuffer in a file using the Tag Image
      File Format, Revision 5.0.  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 overriden, or explicitly
      specified with the following options:  -none (use no compression),
      -packbits (use the PackBits compression algorithm), -lzw (use Lempel-Ziv
      & Welch - default), -contig (pack samples - default), -separate (store
      samples in separate planes), -rowsperstrip n (pack n rows in each 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(3)
      library.
