ras2tiff - Unix, Linux Command
NAME
ras2tiff - create a
TIFF file from a Sun rasterfile
SYNOPSIS
ras2tiff [
options ]
input.ras output.tif DESCRIPTION
ras2tiff converts a file in the Sun rasterfile format to
TIFF. By default, the
TIFF image is created 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 overridden, or explicitly specified
with the options described below.
Any colormap information in the rasterfile is carried over to the
TIFF file by including a
Colormap tag in the output file.
If the rasterfile has a colormap, the
PhotometricInterpretation tag is set to 3 (palette);
otherwise it is set to 2 (RGB) if the depth
is 24 or 1 (min-is-black) if the depth is not 24.
OPTIONS
Tag | Description |
-c |
Specify a compression scheme to use when writing image data:
-c none for no compression,
-c packbits for the PackBits compression algorithm,
-c jpeg for the baseline JPEG compression algorithm,
-c zip for the Deflate compression algorithm,
and
-c lzw for Lempel-Ziv & Welch (the default).
|
-r |
Write data with a specified number of rows per strip;
by default the number of rows/strip is selected so that each strip
is approximately 8 kilobytes.
|
BUGS
Does not handle all possible rasterfiles.
In particular,
ras2tiff does not handle run-length encoded images.
