NAME
       img-tiff - Img, Tagged Image File Format (tiff)


SYNOPSIS
       package require Tk

       package require img::tiff  ?1.4?

       image create photo ?name? ?options?

DESCRIPTION
       The  package  img::tiff  is a sub-package of Img. It can be loaded as a part of the complete Img support,
       via package require Img, or on its own, via package require img::tiff.

       Like all packages of Img it does not provide new commands, but extends the existing Tk command  image  so
       that it supports files containing raster images in the Tagged Image File Format (tiff). More specifically
       img::tiff extends Tk's photo image type.

       The  name of the new format handler is tiff.  This handler provides new additional configuration options.
       See section TIFF OPTIONS for more detailed explanations.

       All of the above means that in a call like

       image create photo ?name? ?options?

       [1]    Image data in tiff format (options -data and -file) is detected automatically.

       [2]    The format name tiff is recognized by the option -format.  In addition the value for the option is
              treated as list and may contain any of the special options listed in section TIFF OPTIONS.


TIFF OPTIONS
       The handler provides three options, one for reading from a TIFF image,  the  other  two  influencing  the
       writing of such.

       -index n
              This  option  is for reading from TIFF files containing more than one image (multi-page TIFF. When
              specified it will read the n'th image in the data. The first image is at index 0 and will be  read
              by default, i.e. when the option is not specified.

       -compression type
              This  option  specifies the type of compression to use when writing TIFF data. It has to be one of
              none, jpeg, packbits, or deflate. The default is none.

       -byteorder type
              This option specifies the byteorder to use when writing TIFF data. It has to be one of  bigendian,
              littleendian, network, smallendian, or the empty string. The default is the empty string.

              The values bigendian and network are aliases of each other, as are littleendian and smallendian.
