A program to rotate a GIF image by a specified angle.<P>

<H1>Usage:</H1>

<pre>
gifrotat -a Angle [-q] [-s Width Height] [-h] gif-file
</pre>

If no gif-file is given, GifRotat will try to read a GIF file from stdin.<P>


<H1>Memory required:</H1>

Screen (of source image).<P>

<H1>Options:</H1>

<DL>
<DT> -a Angle
<DD> Specifies the angle to rotate in degrees with respect to
   the X (horizontal) axis.<P>

<DT> [-q]
<DD> Quiet mode.  Defaults off on MSDOS, on under UNIX.  Controls printout
   of running scan lines. Use -q- to invert.<P>

<DT> [-s Width Height]
<DD> Since the rotated image will have the same image size as
   the original, some parts of the image will by clipped out and lost. By
   specifing a (bigger) size explicitly using the `-s' option, these parts
   may be saved.<P>

<DT> [-h]
<DD> Print one line of command line help, similar to Usage above.<P>
</DL>

<H1>Notes:</H1>

The image is rotated around its center.  No filtering is performed on the
output, which have the same color map as the input.  This is mainly since
filtering would require color quantization which is very memory/time intensive
and out of MSDOS memory limits even for small images.<P>
