Contributed TIFF Software

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).

contrib/vms

scripts and files from Karsten Spang for building

		the library and tools under VMS

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 <tt>libpixrect.a</tt>, 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 

HREF=http://www.ImageMagick.org/>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.
