img-tiff(n)                                                                                      img-tiff(n)



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

SYNOPSIS
       package require Tk

       package require img::tiff  ?1.3?

DESCRIPTION
       The  package  img::tiff  is a sub-package of Img. It can be loaded as a part of the complete Img sup-port, support,
       port, 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.

              OPTIONS.
