NAME
     gif2tiff - create a TIFF file from a GIF87 format image file

SYNOPSIS
     gif2tiff [options] input.gif output.tif

DESCRIPTION
     gif2tiff converts a file in the GIF87 format to  TIFF.   The
     TIFF  image  is  created  as  a  palette image, with samples
     compressed with the Lempel-Ziv and Welch algorithm (Compres-
     sion=5).  These  characteristics can be overridden or expli-
     citly specified with the options described below.

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported:

     -c              Specify a compression  scheme  to  use  when
                     writing image data:


                     -c lzw                  Lempel-Ziv and Welch
                                             algorithm.  This  is
                                             the  default   algo-
                                             rithm.




                     -c none                 No compression.



                     -c packbits             PackBits compression
                                             algorithm.



                     -c zip                  Deflate  compression
                                             algorithm.



     -r              Write data with a specified number  of  rows
                     per  strip.  By  default, the number of rows
                     per strip is selected so that each strip  is
                     approximately 8 kilobytes.
