.SH DESCRIPTION

.I TIFFDefaultStripSize

returns the number of rows for a reasonable-sized strip according to the

current settings of the

.IR ImageWidth ,

.IR BitsPerSample ,

.IR SamplesPerPixel ,

tags and any compression-specific requirements. If the

.I estimate

parameter, if non-zero, then it is taken as an estimate of the desired strip

size and adjusted according to any compression-specific requirements. The

value returned by this function is typically used to define the

.I RowsPerStrip

tag. In lieu of any unusual requirements

.I TIFFDefaultStripSize

tries to create strips that have approximately

8 kilobytes of uncompressed data.

.PP

.IR TIFFStripSize

returns the equivalent size for a strip of data as it would be returned in a

call to

.IR TIFFReadEncodedStrip

or as it would be expected in a call to

.IR TIFFWriteEncodedStrip .

.PP

.I TIFFVStripSize

returns the number of bytes in a strip with

.I nrows

rows of data.

.PP

.I TIFFRawStripSize

returns the number of bytes in a raw strip (i.e. not decoded).

.PP

.IR TIFFComputeStrip

returns the strip that contains the specified coordinates. A valid strip is

always returned; out-of-range coordinate values are clamped to the bounds of

the image. The

.I row

parameter is always used in calculating a strip. The

.I sample

parameter is used only if data are organized in separate planes (\c

.IR PlanarConfiguration =2).

.PP

.IR TIFFNumberOfStrips

returns the number of strips in the image.

.SH DIAGNOSTICS

None.
