NAME
sgi2fax - convert a Silicon Graphics image file for
facsimile transmission
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/sgi2fax [ options ]
files...
DESCRIPTION
sgi2fax converts Silicon Graphics format
images to bilevel TIFF Class F images in
preparation for transmission as facsimile. sgi2fax is not
normally invoked directly; it is usually run by sendfax(1)
when an SGI image file is submitted for
transmission.
Images are converted by scaling them to fill the guaranteed
reproducible area on a default page. Each RGB pixel p is converted to greyscale according
to:
pr * %r + pg * %g + pb * %b
where %r, %g, and %b default to 30, 59, and 11, respectively.
Greyscale images are then process with a high pass filter and
dithered to a bilevel image. The resultant image are written as a
TIFF Class F document.
By default, the output image is created with 204 dots/inch
horizontal resolution and 98 lines/inch vertical resolution. The
image is written as Group 3 1D-encoded data.
OPTIONS
- -1
- (-2) Write the image as Group 3 1D- (2D-) encoded data.
- -b %b
- Set the %b parameter used to convert color pixel values
to greyscale pixel values.
- -g %g
- Set the %g parameter used to convert color pixel values
to greyscale pixel values.
- -l
- Generate an image at 98 lines/inch vertical resolution. know as
low resolution.
- -m
- Generate an image at 196 lines/inch vertical resolution.
- -o file
- Write output to file instead of the default file named
sgi.fax.
- -r %r
- Set the %r parameter used to convert color pixel values
to greyscale pixel values.
- -s size
- Set the output size according to the named page size. Images
are normally created with a system-default page size (usually
letter-size pages, 8.5" by 11", for sites in North America).
Alternate page sizes are specified symbolically using either the
name or abbreviation of an entry in the (5F)
database; e.g. a3 (ISO A3), a4 (ISO A4), a5
(ISO A5), a6 (ISO A6), b4 (ISO B4), na-let
(North American Letter), us-leg (American Legal),
us-led (American Ledger), us-exe (American
Executive), jp-let (Japanese Letter), and jp-leg
(Japanese Legal). Comparisons are case-insensitive and any match of
a substring of the full page-size name is sufficient; e.g.
``legal'' would match ``American Legal''.
