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.

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, and documentation on the
|
|
|
|
|
library and tools. Libtiff is a portable software, it was built and
|
|
|
|
|
tested on various systems: UNIX flavors (Linux, BSD, Solaris, MacOS X),
|
|
|
|
|
Windows, OpenVMS. It should be possible to port libtiff and additional
|
|
|
|
|
tools on other OSes.

|
|
|
|
|
<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.
