- Tools Overview</font></h1>
- <p>This software distribution comes with a small collection of
- programs for converting non-TIFF format images to TIFF and for
- manipulating and interrogating the contents of TIFF images. Several
- of these tools are useful in their own right. Many of them however
- are more intended to serve as programming examples for using the
- TIFF library.</p>
- <h3>Device-dependent Programs</h3>
- There are two device-dependent programs that serve as simple
- examples for writing programs to display and save TIFF images.
- <table border cellpadding="3">
- <tr>
- <td valign="top" width="10%">
- <tt><a href="man/tiffgt.1.html">tiffgt</a> </tt></td>
- <td>Display the contents of one or more TIFF images using OpenGL.
- The software makes extensive use of the <tt>TIFFRGBAImage</tt>
- facilities described elsewhere.</td>
- </tr>
- <tr>
- <td valign="top" width="10%"><tt><a href="man/tiffsv.1.html">tiffsv</a></tt></td>
- <td>A program to save all or part of a screen dump on a Silicon
- Graphics system. As for <tt>tiffgt</tt> this code, while written to
- use the IRIS GL, can be easily tailored to other devices.</td>
- </tr>
- </table>
- <h3>Device-independent Programs</h3>
- The remaining programs should be device-independent:
