TIFFWriteEncodedStrip(3T)            Image Format Library C++ Reference Manual



NAME
     TIFFWritedEncodedStrip - compress and write a strip of data to an open
     TIFF file

SYNOPSIS
     #include <tiffio.h>
     tsizet TIFFWriteEncodedStrip(TIFF* tif, tstript strip, tdatat buf,
     tsizet size)

DESCRIPTION
     Compress size bytes of raw data from buf and write the result to the
     specified strip; replacing any previously written data.  Note that 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 places
     (PlanarConfiguration=2).

NOTES
     The library writes encoded data using the native machine byte order.
     Correctly implemented TIFF readers are expected to do any necessary
     byte-swapping to correctly process image data with BitsPerSample greater
     than 8.

     The strip number must be valid according to the current settings of the
     ImageLength and RowsPerStrip tags.  An image may be dynamically grown by
     increasing the value of ImageLength prior to each call to
     TIFFWriteEncodedStrip.

RETURN VALUES
     -1 is returned if an error was encountered.  Otherwise, the value of size
     is returned.

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

     %s: File not open for writing.  The file was opened for reading, not
     writing.

     Can not write scanlines to a tiled image.  The image is assumed to be
     organized in tiles because the TileWidth and TileLength tags have been
     set with TIFFSetField(3T).

     %s: Must set "ImageWidth" before writing data.  The image's width has not
     be set before the first write.  See TIFFSetField(3T) for information on
     how to do this.

     %s: Must set "PlanarConfiguration" before writing data.  The organization
     of data has not be defined before the first write.  See TIFFSetField(3T)
     for information on how to do this.

     %s: No space for strip arrays".  There was not enough space for the
     arrays that hold strip offsets and byte counts.
