Does anyone know of a utility for viewing TIFF picture files within an X-Window? Is there a conversion program, say, GIF to TIFF? (It seems that "xloadimage" does not support TIFF).

Is there a conversion program, say, GIF to TIFF? I'm using FrameMaker 2.1X to do desktop publishing. It came with a program to convert TIFF to XWD format, so that they can be imported into FrameMaker. I hope this is helpful. Frame included quite a few convertion programs, I usually use "tifftorf" to convert TIFF (on a 386 PC) to rasterfiles for import- ing. I have other utilities to do convertions on PC (GWS, GCP, etc) and on Unix (PBM+). -- -Jon- Jonathan Ma, Motorola, Commerical Systems Division Phone: (408) 366-4191 FAX: (408) 366-4125 UUCP: {apple,pyramid}!motcsd!jon Internet: jon@csd.mot.com Disclaimer: Those views are mine, not my employer's.

The National Center for Supercomputing Applications has developed
a reformatting program called (can you guess...) "Reformat".
Reformat uses an X window interface and will allow you to convert
convert TIFF, FITS, GIF, X window dumps, Sun raster, and raw raster
to HDF. Once the image is in HDF format, you can then look at it using
NCSA X Image. With X Image, you can display the image, create contours,
create 8 level graylevel bitmaps, histograms, profile plots, manipulate
the color map, or animate sequences of images in memory or from disk.
You can pick up this stuff from NCSA's anon ftp server
ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu (128.174.20.50). XImage executables for various platforms
are provided on the server as well as source.

Alan, you should use XTiff. XTiff displays all of the types of TIFF images that I know of and that libtiff supports. It manages the negotiation of the correct visual and displays the image. It doesn't dither images; read that to mean that a 24-bit image can be displayed on a monochrome framebuffer. It does extend images; read that to mean that 2-bit images can be displayed using 4-bit visuals. XTiff is on expo in contrib/xtiff.tar.Z and on uunet in X/contrib/xtiff.tar.Z. It requires Sam Leffler's libtiff library. Chris Sears sears@dungeon.pa.dec.com

Alan, you should use XTiff. XTiff correctly displays all of the TIFF image type that I'm aware of and that libtiff supports. It manages the selection of an X visual and displays the image. It won't dither an image, so 24-bit images are not viewable on monochrome but it will extend images so that 2-bit NeXT images can be displayed on a 4-bit HP. XTiff is on expo.lcs.mit.edu in contib/xtiff.tar.Z and on uunet.uu.net in X/contrib/xtiff.tar.Z Chris Sears sears@dungeon.pa.dec.com
