Contributed TIFF Software

smallliz

The contrib directory has contributed software that uses the TIFF library or which is associated with the library (typically glue and guidance for ports to non-UNIX platforms, or tools that aren't directly TIFF related).

Contributed software

Location

Description

contrib/dbs

various tools from Dan & Chris Sears, including a simple X-based viewer

contrib/ras

two programs by Patrick Naughton for converting between Sun rasterfile format and TIFF (these require libpixrect.a, as opposed to the one in tools that doesn't)

contrib/mac-mpw

contrib/mac-cw

scripts and files from Niles Ritter for building the library and tools under Macintosh/MPW C and code warrior.

contrib/acorn

scripts and files from Peter Greenham for building the library and tools on an Acorn RISC OS system.

contrib/win32

scripts and files from Scott Wagner for building the library under Windows NT and Windows 95. (The makefile.vc in the libtiff/libtiff directory may be sufficient for most users.)

contrib/win_dib

two separate implementations of TIFF to DIB code suitable for any Win32 platform. Contributed by Mark James, and Philippe Tenenhaus.

contrib/ojpeg

Patch for IJG JPEG library related to support for some Old JPEG in TIFF files. Contributed by Scott Marovich.

contrib/dosdjgpp

scripts and files from Alexander Lehmann for building the library under MSDOS with the DJGPP v2 compiler.

contrib/tags

scripts and files from Niles Ritter for adding private tag support at runtime, without changing libtiff.

contrib/mfs

code from Mike Johnson to read+write images in memory without modifying the library

contrib/pds

various routines from Conrad Poelman; a TIFF image iterator and code to support "private sub-directories"

contrib/iptcutil

A utility by Bill Radcliffe to convert an extracted IPTC Newsphoto caption from a binary blob to ASCII text, and vice versa. IPTC binary blobs can be extracted from images via the ImageMagick convert(1) utility.

contrib/addtiffo

A utility (and supporting subroutine) for building one or more reduce resolution overviews to an existing TIFF file. Supplied by Frank Warmerdam.

contrib/stream

A class (TiffStream) for accessing TIFF files through a C++ stream interface. Supplied by Avi Bleiweiss.

Questions regarding these packages are usually best directed toward their authors.
