Len2Tif

Command Line

LEN2TIF can be run in command line mode to enable integration with automated workflows.
Command line:

len2tiff [-h] [-i <input path>] [-o <output path>] [-b<bilevel compression>] [-c<contone compression>] [-a] [-n] 
[-p]

-h - Command line help. If present, LEN2TIFF will display the command line description in its log window at startup.

-i <input path> - input path of a single LEN file to be converted to TIFF. If omitted, LEN2TIFF starts in its regular 
mode as a dialog application. If present, LEN2TIFF starts, makes the conversion if possible, then quits. This c
ase the exit code is 0 on success, -1 on error.

<input path> is the input LEN file pathname. If partial path is specified, LEN2TIFF assumes the current work 
directory as the base directory.

-o <output path> - output path of the resultant TIFF file. If omitted, the current work directory is assumed. 
If <output path> doesn't contain the file name, the actual TIFF file name will be taken same as the source LEN 
file name with the 'len' extension replaced to 'tif'. To specify the output path without the name, terminate it with 
the backslash character '' to indicate that it is a directory.

-b<bilevel compression> is an option to compress bilevel (i.e., 1 bit) TIFF image data.
Possible values are:
n - No compression (default)
4 - Group4 Fax compression
l - (lowercase 'L') - LZW compression.
so this option may look as -bn or -b4 or -bl

-c<contone compression> is an option to compress contone (grayscale) TIFF image data.
Possible values are:
n - No compression (default)
l - (lowercase 'L') - LZW compression
i.e., the contone compression option may be -cn or -cl

-a - Scanline alignment. If present, the output TIFF scanlines will be padded with the blank pixels to make the 
number of pixels 32 multiple for bilevel TIFF or 4 multiple for grayscale TIFF.

-n - Performs the color inversion, i.e., builds the negative output image.

-p - Uses prediction (only affects gray scale LZW compressed TIFFs). This reduces the file size, but needs the TIFF 
reader to support tag 317 (see TIFF documentation).

-q - run in quiet mode. With this option, LEN2TIFF won't display any user interface; it will just run a single job 
provided the proper arguments are given in the command line, and then quit. The log information, if any, will still 
be stored and can be viewed by manual LEN2TIFF run.
