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

SYNOPSIS
       tiffsv [ options ] output.tif [ x1 x2 y1 y2 ]

DESCRIPTION
       tiffsv saves all or part of the framebuffer in a file using the Tag Image File For-
       mat,  Revision 6.0.  By default, the image is saved with data samples packed (Plan-
       arConfiguration=1), compressed with the  Lempel-Ziv  &  Welch  algorithm  (Compres-
       sion=5),  and  with each strip no more than 8 kilobytes.  These characteristics can
       be overriden, or explicitly specified with the options described below.

OPTIONS
       -b     Save the image as a greyscale image as if it were processed  by  tiff2bw(1).
              This option is included for compatibility with the standard scrsave(6D) pro-
              gram.

       -c     Specify the compression to use for data written to the output file: none for
              no  compression,  packbits  for PackBits compression, jpeg for baseline JPEG
              compression, zip for Deflate compression, and lzw  for  Lempel-Ziv  &  Welch
              compression (default).

              LZW compression can be specified together with a predictor value.  A predic-
              tor value of 2 causes each scanline of the output image to undergo  horizon-
              tal  differencing before it is encoded; a value of 1 forces each scanline to
              be encoded without differencing.   LZW-specific  options  are  specified  by
              appending  a  ‘‘:’’-separated list to the ‘‘lzw’’ option; e.g.  -c lzw:2 for
              LZW compression with horizontal differencing.

       -p     Specify the planar configuration to use in writing image data.  By  default,
              tiffsv  will  create  a  new file with the data samples packed contiguously.
              Specifying -p contig will force data to be written  with  multi-sample  data
              packed together, while -p separate will force samples to be written in sepa-
              rate planes.

       -r     Specify the number of rows (scanlines) in each strip of data written to  the
              output file.  By default, tiffsv attempts to set the rows/strip that no more
              than 8 kilobytes of data appear in a strip.

NOTE
       Except for the use of TIFF, this program is equivalent to the standard scrsave pro-
       gram.   This  means, for example, that you can use it in conjunction with the stan-
       dard 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.
