<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><i>tiffdither</i>
converts a single channel 8-bit greyscale image to a bilevel
image using Floyd-Steinberg error propagation with
thresholding.</p>

for CCITT Group 3 (T.4) compression, and <b>g4</b> for CCITT

<p style="margin-left:22%; margin-top: 1em">Group 3
compression can be specified together with several
T.4-specific options: <b>1d</b> for 1-dimensional encoding,
<b>2d</b> for 2-dimensional encoding, and <b>fill</b> to
force each encoded scanline to be zero-filled so that the
terminating EOL code lies on a byte boundary. Group
3-specific options are specified by appending a
2005-03-06 06:11:43 -05:00
&lsquo;&lsquo;:&rsquo;&rsquo;-separated list to the
&lsquo;&lsquo;g3&rsquo;&rsquo; option; e.g. <b>&minus;c
2002-10-07 09:47:36 -04:00

<p style="margin-left:22%; margin-top: 1em"><small>LZW</small>
compression can be specified together with a
<i>predictor</i> value. A predictor value of 2 causes each
scanline of the output image to undergo horizontal

differencing before it is encoded; a value of 1 forces each
scanline to be encoded without differencing. LZW-specific
2005-03-06 06:11:43 -05:00
options are specified by appending a
&lsquo;&lsquo;:&rsquo;&rsquo;-separated list to the
&lsquo;&lsquo;lzw&rsquo;&rsquo; option; e.g. <b>&minus;c
lzw:2</b> for <small>LZW</small> compression with horizontal
differencing.</p>
