Bora-Komorowskiego 24, 80-377 Gda\'nsk, Poland Email: P.Strzelczyk@GUST.org.pl, bop@bop.com.pl TIF2EPS is a PostScript program for the conversion of TIFF files (ver. 6.0) to EPS ones. Compression (LZW, CCITT Fax, RLE, Flate, DCT) and ASCII85 encoding is available. The package may be used for generating colour- separated EPSes, `EPS thumbnails,' and, moreover, little header EPSes, containing only a pointer to a source TIFF file. Employing Ghostscript guarantees portability and efficient processing. Batch files are provided: tif2eps.bat (for DOS/Windows) and tif2eps (for Unix/Linux). They should be copied to the directory in $PATH. The main `engine', tif2eps.ps should be copied to the directory with Ghostscript libraries, e.g.: /usr/local/share/ghostscript//lib/ or C:\gstools\gs\lib\ Usage details: gs [-dNODISPLAY] [-q] -- tif2eps.ps TIFF_name [EPS_name] [options] Options: -f# -- output filtering, #=[compression][encoding], where currently implemented compressions: f - Flate, l - LZW, p - LZW with predictor, r - RLE, 3 - CCITTFax group 3, 4 - CCITTFax group 4 (two-dimensional), j - DCT (JPEG standard), n - none, or empty (default is n) currently implemented encodings: 8 - ASCII85, h - HEX, or empty (default is 8) -d# -- override resolution (in dpi, X_RESxY_RES form allowed) -o# -- overwrite output file: 0 - not (default), 1 - yes, 2 - if older -l# -- Postscript Level of output EPS: 1 - Level 1, 2 - Level 2 -m# -- operator used for monochrome bitmaps: 0 - image (default), 1 - imagemask, 2 - inversed imagemask -p# -- convert # image (page) of multi-page TIFF (0 - first page) -r# -- reduction (scaling) factor, 0<#<=1 -s# -- separation, #=1, 2, 3, 4, or c, m, y, k -v# -- verbose level: 0 - off , 1 - basic (default), 2 - elaborate -b* -- use exact (non-integer) BoundingBox comment format; otherwise HiResBoundingBox is additionally written out (default is +) -e* -- recover from errors (special RLE filter, CCITTFax recover) -h* -- write `header' EPS (which reads and interpretes TIFF) -i* -- set `/Interpolate' entry to true in EPS image where asterisk denotes a switch: on: + or 1 (or empty) off: - or 0 (default if not specified otherwise)
