|
reading and writing TIFF, a small collection of tools for doing
|
|
|
|
|
simple manipulations of TIFF images on UNIX systems, and documentation

The library is capable of dealing with images that are written to
|
|
|
|
|
follow the 5.0 or 6.0 TIFF spec. There is also considerable support
|
|
|
|
|
for some of the more esoteric portions of the 6.0 TIFF spec.

|
SGI has also added html-documentation in addition to man-pages.
