TIFFReadEncodedStrip(3T)  UNIX System V(May 2, 1990)   TIFFReadEncodedStrip(3T)


NAME
      TIFFReadEncodedStrip - read and decode a strip from an open TIFF file

SYNOPSIS
      #include <tiffio.h>
      int TIFFReadEncodedStrip(TIFF* tif, uint strip, uchar* buf, uint size)

DESCRIPTION
      Read the specified strip of data and place size bytes of decompressed
      information in the (user supplied) data buffer.  The actual number of
      bytes of data that were placed in buf is returned; TIFFReadEncodedStrip()
      returns -1 if an error was encountered.

NOTES
      The value of strip is a ``raw strip number.''  That is, the caller must
      take into account whether or not the data are organized in separate
      planes (PlanarConfiguration=2).  To read a full strip of data the data
      buffer should typically be at least RowsPerStrip times the number
      returned by TIFFScanlineSize().

      The library attempts to hide bit- and byte-ordering differences between
      the image and the native machine by converting data to the native machine
      order.  Bit reversal is always done if the FillOrder tag is opposite to
      the native machine bit order.  Byte swapping of 16- and 32-bit samples is
      automatically done when Compression=1 (``no compression''), but otherwise
      is left to the decompression algorithms (which should generate
      decompressed data in the native byte ordering of the machine).

DIAGNOSTICS
      All error messages are directed to the TIFFError(3T) routine.
