TIFF Tools Overview

quad

Since LibTIFF version 4.6.0 only five tools are suported. Two tools can be built as unsupported into directory tools/unsupported. The source code of the other tools is moved to directory archive/tools/. This source code still serves as a programming example for the use of the TIFF library.
