working with GIF images.</p><p>The Graphics Interchange Format(c) specification is the copyrighted
property of CompuServe Incorporated. GIF(sm) is a service mark
property of CompuServe Incorporated.</p><p>This package has been released under an X Consortium-like open-source
license. Use and copy as you see fit. If you make useful changes,
add new tools, or find and fix bugs, please send your mods to the
maintainers for general distribution.</p><p>The util directory includes programs to clip, rotate, scale, and
position GIF images. These are no replacement for an interactive graphics
editor, but they can be very useful for scripted image generation or
transformation.</p><p>The library includes program-callable entry points for reading and writing
GIF files, an 8x8 utility font for embedding text in GIFs, and an error
handler. GIF manipulation can be done at a relatively low level by
sequential I/O (which automatically does/undoes image compression) or at
a higher level by slurping an entire GIF into allocated core.</p><p>This library speaks both GIF87a and GIF89. The differences
between GIF87 and GIF89 are minor: in the latter, the interpretation
of some extension block types is defined. The library never needs to
actually interpret these, but <a class="ulink" href="giftext.html" target="_top">giftext</a> notices them and there are
functions in the API to read and modify them.</p><div class="sect1"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="idm23"></a>Utilities</h2></div></div></div><p>Here is a summary of the utilities in this package. If you're looking
at this page through a web browser, each utility name should be a
hotlink to HTML documentation.</p><p>Most utilities have a -v (verbose) option that will cause them to print
the current input scan line number (counting up) whenever they read
image input, and will print output image line number (counting down)
when they dump output. Utilities that only read or write always print
in increasing order.</p><div class="sect2"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="idm27"></a>Conversion Utilities</h3></div></div></div><div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"><dt><span class="term"><a class="ulink" href="gif2rgb.html" target="_top">gif2rgb</a></span></dt><dd><p>convert images saved as GIF to 24-bit RGB image(s) or vice-versa</p></dd></dl></div></div><div class="sect2"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="idm35"></a>Test Pattern Generators</h3></div></div></div><div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"><dt><span class="term"><a class="ulink" href="gifbg.html" target="_top">gifbg</a></span></dt><dd><p>generate a single-color test pattern GIF</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><a class="ulink" href="gifcolor.html" target="_top">gifcolor</a></span></dt><dd><p>generate color test patterns</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><a class="ulink" href="gifwedge.html" target="_top">gifwedge</a></span></dt><dd><p>create a test GIF image resembling a color monitor test pattern</p></dd></dl></div></div><div class="sect2"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="idm53"></a>Image Manipulation Components</h3></div></div></div><div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"><dt><span class="term"><a class="ulink" href="gifclrmp.html" target="_top">gifclrmp</a></span></dt><dd><p>modify GIF image colormaps</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><a class="ulink" href="giffix.html" target="_top">giffix</a></span></dt><dd><p>clumsily attempts to fix truncated GIF images</p></dd></dl></div></div><div class="sect2"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="idm66"></a>Report Generators</h3></div></div></div><div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"><dt><span class="term"><a class="ulink" href="giftext.html" target="_top">giftext</a></span></dt><dd><p>print (text only) general information about a GIF</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><a class="ulink" href="gifhisto.html" target="_top">gifhisto</a></span></dt><dd><p>generate color-frequency histogram from a GIF</p></dd></dl></div></div><div class="sect2"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a id="idm79"></a>GIF Composition Tools</h3></div></div></div><div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"><dt><span class="term"><a class="ulink" href="gifbuild.html" target="_top">gifbuild</a></span></dt><dd><p>converter/deconverter to/from an editable text format</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><a class="ulink" href="gifecho.html" target="_top">gifecho</a></span></dt><dd><p>generate GIF images out of regular text in 8x8 font</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><a class="ulink" href="gifinto.html" target="_top">gifinto</a></span></dt><dd><p>end-of-pipe fitting for GIF-processing pipelines</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><a class="ulink" href="giftool.html" target="_top">giftool</a></span></dt><dd><p>GIF transformation tool</p></dd></dl></div></div></div><div class="sect1"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="idm102"></a>Library Functions</h2></div></div></div><p>The library contains two groups of C functions.

sequential I/O on the stream-oriented GIF format. The other supports
grabbing an entire GIF into allocated core, operating on it in core,
and then writing the modified in-core GIF out to disk.</p><p>Unless you are on extremely memory-limited machine, you probably want
to use the second group.</p><p>Detailed documentation on the library entry points is in <a class="ulink" href="gif_lib.html" target="_top">gif_lib.html</a>.</p></div><div class="sect1"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="idm108"></a>The GIF Standard</h2></div></div></div><p>The doc subdirectory includes an <a class="ulink" href="gifstandard/GIF89a.html" target="_top">HTML presentation of the GIF
