The libtiff package contains the tiff libraries and associated utilities. The libraries are used by many programs for reading and writing tiff files and the utilities are useful for general work with tiff files.
Install libtiff by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr --noninteractive \ --with-DIR_MAN=/usr/share/man && make && make install |
--noninteractive : This switch is used to avoid the configuration routine asking for confirmation of the directories to install to (which we pass using switches to configure anyways).
--with-DIR_MAN=/usr/share/man : This is used because despite the fact we pass --prefix=/usr, the configure routine tries to install the man pages in /usr/local/man instead of the correct place.
As with most libraries, there is no configuration to do, save that the library directory i.e. /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib should appear in /etc/ld.so.conf so that ldd can find the shared libraries. After checking that this is the case, /sbin/ldconfig should be run while logged in as root.
The libtiff package contains fax2ps, fax2tiff, gif2tiff, pal2rgb, ppm2tiff, ras2tiff, rgb2ycbcr, thumbnail, tiff2bw, tiff2ps, tiff2rgba, tiffcmp, tiffcp, tiffdither, tiffdump, tiffinfo, tiffmedian, tiffsplit and tiff libraries.
fac2ps converts a TIFF facsimile to compressed postscript file.
fax2tiff creates a TIFF Class F fax file from raw fax data.
gif2tiff creates a TIFF file from a GIF87 format image file.
pal2rgb converts a palette color TIFF image to a full color image.
ppm2tiff creates a TIFF file from a PPM image file.
ras2tiff creates a TIFF file from a Sun rasterfile.
rgb2ycbcr converts non-YCbCr TIFF images to a YCbCr TIFF image.
thumbnail creates a TIFF file with thumbnail images.
tiff2bw converts a color TIFF image to grayscale.
tiff2ps converts a TIFF image to a postscript file.
No description available.
tiffcmp compares two TIFF files.
tiffcp copies (and possibly converts) a TIFF file.
tiffdither converts a grayscale image to bilevel using dithering.
tiffdump prints verbatim information about TIFF files.
tiffinfo prints information about TIFF files.
tiffmedian applies the median cut algorithm to data in a TIFF file.
tiffsplit splits a multi-image TIFF into single-image TIFF files.
The tiff libraries are used by many programs to read and write tiff files.
