Find one of those, or 6an equivalent, if you need to crop, scale, rotate, toggle interlacing, 7or perform other conventional image transformations. Rather, these are 8intended to facilitate GIF-specific operations which multi-format tools 9may not adequately support.</p><p>API documentation for the service library is best viewed through 10a browser at the project website: http://sourceforge.net/projects/giflib/?source=directory.</p></div><div class="refsect1"><a id="idm17"></a><h2>See Also</h2><p> 11<span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">gif2raw</span>(1)</span>, 12<span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">gif2rgb</span>(1)</span>, 13<span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">gifbuild</span>(1)</span>, 14<span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">gifecho</span>(1)</span>, 15<span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">giffix</span>(1)</span>, 16<span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">gifinto</span>(1)</span>, 17<span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">giftext</span>(1)</span>, 18<span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">giftool</span>(1)</span>, 19<span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">gifclrmap</span>(1)</span>. 20</p></div><div class="refsect1"><a id="idm47"></a><h2>Authors</h2><p>Gershon Elber, Eric S.
