.SH DESCRIPTION
|
| 25 |
.I Ra_gif
|
| 26 |
converts from RADIANCE to Compuserve GIF color-mapped,
|
| 27 |
compressed image files.
|
| 28 |
In the default mode, a RADIANCE picture is converted to a
|
| 29 |
color-mapped GIF file of the same horizontal and vertical dimensions with
|
| 30 |
8-bits per pixel.
|
| 31 |
The
|
| 32 |
.I \-b
|
| 33 |
option converts the image to black and white.
|
| 34 |
The
|
| 35 |
.I \-d
|
| 36 |
option turns off dithering.
|
| 37 |
The
|
| 38 |
.I \-c
|
| 39 |
option allows fewer than 256 colors (and fewer than 8 bits per
|
| 40 |
pixel).
|
| 41 |
The
|
| 42 |
.I \-g
|
| 43 |
option specifies the exponent used in gamma correction;
|
| 44 |
the default value is 2.2.
|
| 45 |
An exponent of 1.0 turns gamma correction off.
|
| 46 |
The
|
| 47 |
.I \-e
|
| 48 |
option specifies an exposure compensation in f-stops (powers of two).
|
| 49 |
Only integer stops are allowed, for efficiency.
|
| 50 |
The
|
| 51 |
.I \-n
|
| 52 |
option specifies a sampling factor for neural network color
|
| 53 |
quantization.
|
| 54 |
This value should be between 1 and 80, where 1 takes the longest and
|
| 55 |
produces the best results in small areas of the image.
|
| 56 |
If no value is given, a faster median cut algorithm is used.
|
| 57 |
If the output file is missing, the standard output is used.
