26.TH TIFFWriteScanline 3TIFF "December 16, 1991" "libtiff"
27.SH NAME
28TIFFWriteScanline \- write a scanline to an open
29.SM TIFF
30file
31.SH SYNOPSIS
32.B "#include <tiffio.h>"
33.sp
34.BI "int TIFFWriteScanline(TIFF *" tif ", tdata_t " buf ", uint32 " row ", tsample_t " sample ")"
35.SH DESCRIPTION
36Write data to a file at the specified row. The
37.I sample
38parameter is used only if data are organized in separate planes (\c
39.IR PlanarConfiguration =2).
40The data are assumed to be uncompressed and in the native bit- and byte-order
41of the host machine. The data written to the file is compressed according to
42the compression scheme of the current
43.SM TIFF
44directory (see further below). If the current scanline is past the end of the
45current subfile, the
46.I ImageLength
47field is automatically increased to include the scanline (except
48for
49.IR PlanarConfiguration =2,
50where the
51.I ImageLength
52cannot be changed once the first data are written). If the
53.I ImageLength
54is increased, the
55.I StripOffsets
56and
57.I StripByteCounts
58fields are similarly enlarged to reflect data written past the previous end of
59image.
60.SH NOTES
61The library writes encoded data using the native machine byte order. Correctly
62implemented
63.SM TIFF
64readers are expected to do any necessary byte-swapping to correctly process
65image data with BitsPerSample greater than 8. The library attempts to hide
66bit-ordering differences between the image and the native machine by
67converting data from the native machine order.
68.PP
69In C++ the
70.I sample
71parameter defaults to 0.
72.PP
73Once data are written to a file for the current directory, the values of
74certain tags may not be altered; see
75.IR TIFFSetField (3TIFF)
76for more information.
77.PP
78It is not possible to write scanlines to a file that uses a tiled
79organization. The routine
80.IR TIFFIsTiled
81can be used to determine if the file is organized as tiles or strips.
82.SH "RETURN VALUES"
83.IR TIFFWriteScanline
84returns \-1 if it immediately detects an error and 1 for a successful write.
85.SH DIAGNOSTICS
86All error messages are directed to the
87.IR TIFFError (3TIFF)
88routine.
89.PP
90.BR "%s: File not open for writing .
91The file was opened for reading, not writing.
92.PP
93.BR "Can not write scanlines to a tiled image" .
94An attempt was made to write a scanline to a tiled image. The image is assumed
95to be organized in tiles because the
96.I TileWidth
97and
98.I TileLength
99tags have been set with
100.IR TIFFSetField (3TIFF).
101.PP
102.BR "Compression algorithm does not support random access" .
103Data was written in a non-sequential order to a file that uses a compression
104algorithm and that has
105.I RowsPerStrip
106greater than one. That is, data in the image is to be stored in a compressed
107form, and with multiple rows packed into a strip. In this case, the library
108does not support random access to the data. The data should either be written
109as entire strips, sequentially by rows, or the value of
110.I RowsPerStrip
111should be set to one.
112.PP
113\fB%s: Must set "ImageWidth" before writing data\fP.
114The image's width has not be set before the first write.
115See
116.BR TIFFSetField (3TIFF)
117for information on how to do this.
118.PP
119\fB%s: Must set "PlanarConfiguration" before writing data\fP.
120The organization of data has not be defined before the first write.
121See
122.BR TIFFSetField (3TIFF)
123for information on how to do this.
124.PP
125\fBCan not change "ImageLength" when using separate planes\fP. Separate image
126planes are being used (\c
127.IR PlanarConfiguration =2),
128but the number of rows has not been specified before the first write. The
129library supports the dynamic growth of an image only when data are organized
130in a contiguous manner (\c
131.IR PlanarConfiguration =1).
132.PP
133.BR "%d: Sample out of range, max %d" .
134The
135.I sample
136parameter was greater than the value of the SamplesPerPixel tag.
137.PP
138.BR "%s: No space for strip arrays .
139There was not enough space for the arrays that hold strip offsets and byte
140counts.
141.SH BUGS
142Writing subsampled YCbCR data does not work correctly because, for
143.IR PlanarConfiguration =2
144the size of a scanline is not calculated on a per-sample basis, and for
145.IR PlanarConfiguration =1
146the library does not pack the block-interleaved samples.
