.TH TIFFWriteEncodedStrip 3TIFF "October 15, 1995" "libtiff"

.SH NAME

TIFFWritedEncodedStrip \- compress and write a strip of data to an open

.SM TIFF

file

.SH SYNOPSIS

.B "#include <tiffio.h>"</tiffio.h>

.sp

.BI "tsize_t TIFFWriteEncodedStrip(TIFF *" tif ", tstrip_t " strip ", tdata_t " buf ", tsize_t " size ")"

.SH DESCRIPTION

Compress

.I size

bytes of raw data from

.I buf

and write the result to the specified strip; replacing any previously written

data. Note that the value of

.I strip

is a ``raw strip number.'' That is, the caller must take into account whether

or not the data are organized in separate planes (\c

.IR PlanarConfiguration =2).

.SH NOTES

The library writes encoded data using the native machine byte order. Correctly

implemented

.SM TIFF

readers are expected to do any necessary byte-swapping to correctly process

image data with BitsPerSample greater than 8.

.PP

The strip number must be valid according to the current settings of the

.I ImageLength

and

.I RowsPerStrip

tags.

An image may be dynamically grown by increasing the value of

.I ImageLength

prior to each call to

.IR TIFFWriteEncodedStrip .

.SH "RETURN VALUES"

\-1 is returned if an error was encountered. Otherwise, the value of

.IR size

is returned.

.SH DIAGNOSTICS

All error messages are directed to the

.IR TIFFError (3TIFF)

routine.

.PP

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

writing.

.PP

\fBCan not write scanlines to a tiled image\fP. The image is assumed to be

organized in tiles because the

.I TileWidth

and

.I TileLength

tags have been set with

.IR TIFFSetField (3TIFF).

.PP

\fB%s: Must set "ImageWidth" before writing data\fP.

The image's width has not be set before the first write. See

.IR TIFFSetField (3TIFF)

for information on how to do this.

.PP

\fB%s: Must set "PlanarConfiguration" before writing data\fP.

The organization of data has not be defined before the first write. See

.IR TIFFSetField (3TIFF)

for information on how to do this.

.PP

\fB%s: No space for strip arrays"\fP.

There was not enough space for the arrays that hold strip offsets and byte

counts.
