## NAME

gifflip -  A program to flip (mirror) GIF file along X or Y axes, or rotate the GIF file 90 degrees to the left or to the right.

## USAGE

**gifflip \[-q\] \[-r\] \[-l\] \[-x\] \[-y\] \[-h\] gif-file**

If no gif-file is given, GifFlip will try to read a GIF file from stdin.

## MEMORY REQUIRED

Image.

## OPTIONS

- \[-q\]

   Quiet mode. Default off on MSDOS, on under UNIX.  Controls printout of running scan lines.  Use -q- to invert.

- \[-r\]

   Rotate the GIF file to the right.

- \[-l\]

   Rotate the GIF file to the left.

- \[-x\]

   Mirror the GIF file along the X axis.  Very useful if GIF file was created from another format in with the first line in at image bottom. Effectively exchanges first row with last.

- \[-h\]

   Print one line of command line help, similar to Usage above.
