NAME
      sgi2tiff - create a TIFF file from an SGI image file

SYNOPSIS
      sgi2tiff [ -none ] [ -packbits ] [ -lzw ] [ -rowsperstrip n ] image-file
      tiff-file

DESCRIPTION
      Sgi2tiff converts a file in the SGI image 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
      overriden, or explicitly specified with the following options:  -none
      (use no compression), -packbits (use the PackBits compression algorithm),
      -lzw (use Lempel-Ziv & Welch - default), -rowsperstrip n (pack n rows in
      each strip).  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.

BUGS
      Does not record colormap information.
