This software provides support for the <I>Tag Image File Format</I> (TIFF),
|
|
|
|
|
a widely used format for storing image data. The latest version of
|
|
|
|
|
the TIFF specification is <A HREF=document.html>available on-line</A>
|
|
|
|
|
in several different formats,
|
|
|
|
|
as are a number of <A HREF= http://www.adobe.com/supportservice/devrelations/technotes.html>TIFF Technical Notes (TTN's)</A>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
|
Included in this software distribution is a library, libtiff, for
|
|
|
|
|
reading and writing TIFF, a small collection of tools for doing simple
|
|
|
|
|
manipulations of TIFF images on UNIX systems,
|
|
|
|
|
and documentation on the library and
|
|
|
|
|
tools. A small assortment of TIFF-related software for UNIX
|
|
|
|
|
that has been contributed by others is also included.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
|
The library, along with associated tool programs, should handle most of
|
|
|
|
|
your needs for reading and writing TIFF images on 32- and 64-bit
|
|
|
|
|
machines. This software can also be used on older 16-bit systems
|
|
|
|
|
though it may require some effort and you may need to leave out some of
|
|
|
|
|
the compression support.
