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


NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     TIFFWriteScanline - write a scanline to an	open TIFF file

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     #include <tiffio.h>
     int TIFFWriteScanline(TIFF* tif, tdata_t buf, uint32 row, tsample_t
     sample)

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     Write data	to a file at the specified row.	 The sample parameter is used
     only if data are organized	in separate planes (PlanarConfiguration=2).
     The data are assumed to be	uncompressed and in the	native bit- and	byteorder
 of the host machine.	 The data written to the file is compressed
     according to the compression scheme of the	current	TIFF directory (see
     further below).  If the current scanline is past the end of the current
     subfile, the ImageLength field is automatically increased to include the
     scanline (except for PlanarConfiguration=2, where the ImageLength cannot
     be	changed	once the first data are	written).  If the ImageLength is
     increased,	the StripOffsets and StripByteCounts fields are	similarly
     enlarged to reflect data written past the previous	end of image.

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

     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 library attempts to hide bit-ordering	differences between
     the image and the native machine by converting data from the native
     machine order.

     In	C++ the	sample parameter defaults to 0.

     Once data are written to a	file for the current directory,	the values of
     certain tags may not be altered; see TIFFSetField(3T) for more
     information.

     It	is not possible	to write scanlines to a	file that uses a tiled
     organization.  The	routine	TIFFIsTiled can	be used	to determine if	the
     file is organized as tiles	or strips.

RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]

     TIFFWriteScanline returns -1 if it	immediately detects an error and 1 for
     a successful write.

DIAGNOSTICS    [Toc]    [Back]

     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.	An attempt was made to write a
     scanline 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).

     Compression algorithm does	not support random access.  Data was written
     in	a non-sequential order to a file that uses a compression algorithm and
     that has RowsPerStrip greater than	one.  That is, data in the image is to
     be	stored in a compressed form, and with multiple rows packed into	a
     strip.  In	this case, the library does not	support	random access to the
     data.  The	data should either be written as entire	strips,	sequentially
     by	rows, or the value of RowsPerStrip should be set to one.

     %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.

     Can not change "ImageLength" when using separate planes.  Separate	image
     planes are	being used (PlanarConfiguration=2), but	the number of rows has
     not been specified	before the first write.	 The library supports the
     dynamic growth of an image	only when data are organized in	a contiguous
     manner (PlanarConfiguration=1).

     %d: Sample	out of range, max %d.  The sample parameter was	greater	than
     the value of the SamplesPerPixel tag.

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

BUGS    [Toc]    [Back]

     Writing subsampled	YCbCR data does	not work correctly because, for
     PlanarConfiguration=2 the size of a scanline is not calculated on a persample
 basis, and for PlanarConfiguration=1 the library does not pack the
     block-interleaved samples.
