TIFFWriteTile(3T)TIFFWriteTile(3T)NAMETIFFWriteTile - encode and write a tile of data to an open
TIFF file
SYNOPSIS
#include <tiffio.h>
tsize_t TIFFWriteTile(TIFF* tif, tdata_t buf, uint32 x,
uint32 y, uint32 z, tsample_t sample)
DESCRIPTION
Write the data for the tile containing the specified coor-
dinates. The data in buf are is (potentially) compressed,
and written to the indicated file, normally being appended
to the end of the file. The buffer must be contain an
entire tile of data. Applications should call the routine
TIFFTileSize to find out the size (in bytes) of a tile
buffer. The x and y parameters are always used by
TIFFWriteTile. The z parameter is used if the image is
deeper than 1 slice (ImageDepth>1). The sample parameter
is used only if data are organized in separate planes
(PlanarConfiguration=2).
RETURN VALUESTIFFWriteTile returns -1 if it detects an error; otherwise
the number of bytes in the tile is returned.
DIAGNOSTICS
All error messages are directed to the TIFFError(3T) rou-
tine.
