The latest version of 64 the TIFF specification is <a href="document.html">available on-line</a> 65 in several different formats. 66 </p> 67 <p> 68 Included in this software distribution is a library, libtiff, for reading 69 and writing TIFF, a small collection of tools for doing simple 70 manipulations of TIFF images, and documentation on the 71 library and tools. Libtiff is a portable software, it was built and 72 tested on various systems: UNIX flavors (Linux, BSD, Solaris, MacOS X), 73 Windows, OpenVMS. It should be possible to port libtiff and additional 74 tools on other OSes. 75 </p> 76 <p> 77 The library, along with associated tool programs, should handle most of 78 your needs for reading and writing TIFF images on 32- and 64-bit 79 machines. This software can also be used on older 16-bit systems 80 though it may require some effort and you may need to leave out some of 81 the compression support. 82 </p> 83 <p> 84 The software was originally authored and maintained by Sam Leffler. 85 While he keeps a fatherly eye on the mailing list, he is no longer 86 responsible for day to day maintenance. 87 </p> 88 <p> 89 Questions should be sent to the TIFF mailing list: 90 <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>, with 91 a subscription interface at 92 <a href="http://lists.maptools.org/mailman/listinfo/tiff">http://lists.maptools.org/mailman/listinfo/tiff</a>. 93 </p> 94 <p> 95 The persons responsible for putting up this site and putting together 96 versions >= 3.5.1 are 97 <a href="http://pobox.com/~warmerdam">Frank Warmerdam</a>, 98 <a href="mailto:[email protected]">Andrey Kiselev</a> and Mike Welles. 99 </p> 100 <p> 101 The following sections are included in this documentation: 102 </p> 103 <ul> 104 <li><a href="support.html">TIFF 6.0 specification coverage</a></li> 105 <li><a href="libtiff.html">Using the TIFF Library</a></li> 106 <li><a href="internals.html">Modifying the TIFF Library</a> 107 and <a href="addingtags.html">Adding New Tags</a></li> 108 <li><a href="tools.html">TIFF tools overview</a></li> 109 <li><a href="contrib.html">Contributed software</a></li> 110 <li><a href="document.html">TIFF documentation</a></li> 111 <li><a href="build.html">Building the software distribution</a></li> 112 <li><a href="bugs.html">Bugs, Bugzilla, and the TIFF mailing list</a></li> 113 <li><a href="images.html">Test images</a></li> 114 <li><a href="misc.html">Acknowledgements and copyright issues</a></li> 115 <li><a href="man/index.html">Man Pages</a></li> 116 </ul> 117 <p> 118 <b>New</b>: We are seeking sponsors for adding <a href="BigTIFFProposal.html">BigTIFF support in LibTiff</a>. 119 </p> 120 <hr> 121 <p> 122 Last updated $Date: 2006-10-25 09:56:59 $. 123 </p> 124</body> 125</html> 126
