NAME

6       TIFFReadTile - read and decode a tile of data from an open TIFF file
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <tiffio.h>
10
11       tsize_t TIFFReadTile(TIFF *tif, tdata_t buf, uint32 x, uint32 y, uint32
12       z, tsample_t sample)
13

DESCRIPTION

15       Return the data for the tile containing the specified coordinates.  The
16       data  placed  in  buf  are returned decompressed and, typically, in the
17       native byte- and bit-ordering, but are otherwise  packed  (see  further
18       below). The buffer must be large enough to hold an entire tile of data.
19       Applications should call the routine TIFFTileSize to find out the  size
20       (in  bytes) of a tile buffer. The x and y parameters are always used by
21       TIFFReadTile.  The z parameter is used if the image is  deeper  than  1
22       slice  (ImageDepth>1).   The  sample parameter is used only if data are
23       organized in separate planes (PlanarConfiguration=2).

NOTES

26       The library attempts to hide bit- and byte-ordering differences between
27       the  image  and  the  native  machine  by converting data to the native
28       machine order.  Bit reversal is done if the FillOrder tag  is  opposite
29       to  the  native machine bit order. 16- and 32-bit samples are automati‐
30       cally byte-swapped if the file was written with a byte  order  opposite
31       to the native machine byte order,

RETURN VALUES

34       TIFFReadTile returns -1 if it detects an error; otherwise the number of
35       bytes in the decoded tile is returned.
36

DIAGNOSTICS

38       All error messages are directed to the TIFFError(3TIFF) routine.
