NAME
       ppm2tiff - create a TIFF file from a PPM image file

SYNOPSIS
       ppm2tiff [ options ] [ input.ppm ] output.tif

DESCRIPTION
       ppm2tiff	 converts a file in the PPM image format to TIFF.  By default,
       the TIFF image is created with data  samples  packed  (PlanarConfigura‐
       tion=1),	 compressed  with  the	Lempel-Ziv & Welch algorithm (Compres‐
       sion=5), and with each strip no more than 8 kilobytes.	These  charac‐
       teristics  can  be overridden, or explicitly specified with the options
       described below

       If the PPM file contains greyscale data, then the  PhotometricInterpre‐
       tation tag is set to 1 (min-is-black), otherwise it is set to 2 (RGB).

       If  no  PPM  file  is specified on the command line, ppm2tiff will read
       from the standard input.

OPTIONS
       -c     Specify a compression scheme to use when writing image data:  -c
	      none  for	 no compression, -c packbits for the PackBits compres‐
	      sion algorithm (the default), -c jpeg for the baseline JPEG com‐
	      pression	algorithm,  -c	zip  for the Deflate compression algo‐
	      rithm, and -c lzw for Lempel-Ziv & Welch compression.

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

       -R     Mark the resultant image to have the specified X and  Y  resolu‐
	      tion (in dots/inch).
