Image File Formats: GIF and TIFF-LZWGIF and TIFF with LZW Compression

LEADTOOLS reads and writes the following LZW-compressed formats.

GIF
This is the Graphics Interchange Format created by CompuServe for storing and exchanging color raster images. LEADTOOLS supports transparency as well as local and global pallets. You can read and write the following bits per pixel: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. LEADTOOLS GIF support is perfect for developers of GIF creator, GIF editor and GIF maker applications.

Animated GIF
This is a multipage GIF format that can be played as an animation by displaying the images sequentially. LEADTOOLS lets you create and play the animations. LEADTOOLS supports transparnet bitmaps and delay between frames as well as local and global pallets. You can create optimized pallets to use as global pallets for list of bitmaps. You can read and write the following bits per pixel: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

TIFF LZW
These files use the Tagged Image File Format with LZW compression.
