.TH TIFFWriteTile 3TIFF "November 29, 1999" "libtiff"

.SH NAME

TIFFWriteTile \- encode and write a tile of data to an open

.SM TIFF

file

.SH SYNOPSIS

.B "#include <tiffio.h>"

.sp

.BI "tsize_t TIFFWriteTile(TIFF *" tif ", tdata_t " buf ", uint32 " x ", uint32 " y ", uint32 " z ", tsample_t " sample ")"

.SH DESCRIPTION

Write the data for the tile

.I containing

the specified coordinates. The data in

.I buf

are is (potentially) compressed, and written to the indicated file, normally

being appended to the end of the file. The buffer must be contain an entire

tile of data. Applications should call the routine

.IR TIFFTileSize

to find out the size (in bytes) of a tile buffer. The

.I x

and

.I y

parameters are always used by

.IR TIFFWriteTile .

The

.I z

parameter is used if the image is deeper than 1 slice (\c

.IR ImageDepth >1).

The

.I sample

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

.IR PlanarConfiguration =2).

.SH "RETURN VALUES"

.IR TIFFWriteTile

returns \-1 if it detects an error; otherwise the number of bytes in the tile

is returned.

.SH DIAGNOSTICS

All error messages are directed to the

.BR TIFFError (3TIFF)

routine.
