18 <h1>Using The TIFF Library</h1>
19 <p>
20 <tt>libtiff</tt> is a set of C functions (a library) that support
21 the manipulation of TIFF image files.
22 The library requires an ANSI C compilation environment for building
23 and presumes an ANSI C environment for use.

30 <tt>libtiff</tt>
31 provides interfaces to image data at several layers of abstraction (and cost).
32 At the highest level image data can be read into an 8-bit/sample,
33 ABGR pixel raster format without regard for the underlying data organization,
34 colorspace, or compression scheme. Below this high-level interface
35 the library provides scanline-, strip-, and tile-oriented interfaces that
36 return data decompressed but otherwise untransformed. These interfaces
37 require that the application first identify the organization of stored
38 data and select either a strip-based or tile-based API for manipulating
39 data. At the lowest level the library
40 provides access to the raw uncompressed strips or tiles,
41 returning the data exactly as it appears in the file.
42 </p>
43 <p>
44 The material presented in this chapter is a basic introduction
45 to the capabilities of the library; it is not an attempt to describe
46 everything a developer needs to know about the library or about TIFF.
47 Detailed information on the interfaces to the library are given in
48 the <a href="http://www.remotesensing.org/libtiff/man/index.html">UNIX
49 manual pages</a> that accompany this software.
50 </p>

52 Michael Still has also written a useful introduction to libtiff for the
53 IBM DeveloperWorks site available at
54 <a href="http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-libtiff">http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-libtiff</a>.

77 <h2 id="version">How to tell which version you have</h2>
78 <p>
79 The software version can be found by looking at the file named
80 <tt>VERSION</tt>
81 that is located at the top of the source tree; the precise alpha number
82 is given in the file <tt>dist/tiff.alpha</tt>.
83 If you have need to refer to this
84 specific software, you should identify it as:
85 </p>
86 <p style="margin-left: 40px">
87 <tt>TIFF &lt;<i>version</i>&gt; &lt;<i>alpha</i>&gt;</tt>
88 </p>
89 <p>
90 where <tt>&lt;<i>version</i>&gt;</tt> is whatever you get from
91 <tt>"cat VERSION"</tt> and <tt>&lt;<i>alpha</i>&gt;</tt> is
92 what you get from <tt>"cat dist/tiff.alpha"</tt>.
93 </p>
94 <p>
95 Within an application that uses <tt>libtiff</tt> the <tt>TIFFGetVersion</tt>
96 routine will return a pointer to a string that contains software version
97 information.
98 The library include file <tt>&lt;tiffio.h&gt;</tt> contains a C pre-processor
99 define <tt>TIFFLIB_VERSION</tt> that can be used to check library
100 version compatiblity at compile time.
101 </p>
102 <hr>
103 <h2 id="typedefs">Library Datatypes</h2>
104 <p>
105 <tt>libtiff</tt> defines a portable programming interface through the
106 use of a set of C type definitions.
107 These definitions, defined in in the files <b>tiff.h</b> and
108 <b>tiffio.h</b>,
109 isolate the <tt>libtiff</tt> API from the characteristics
110 of the underlying machine.
111 To insure portable code and correct operation, applications that use
112 <tt>libtiff</tt> should use the typedefs and follow the function
113 prototypes for the library API.
114 </p>
115 <hr>
116 <h2 id="mman">Memory Management</h2>
117 <p>
118 <tt>libtiff</tt> uses a machine-specific set of routines for managing
119 dynamically allocated memory.
120 <tt>_TIFFmalloc</tt>, <tt>_TIFFrealloc</tt>, and <tt>_TIFFfree</tt>
121 mimic the normal ANSI C routines.
122 Any dynamically allocated memory that is to be passed into the library
123 should be allocated using these interfaces in order to insure pointer
124 compatibility on machines with a segmented architecture.
125 (On 32-bit UNIX systems these routines just call the normal <tt>malloc</tt>,
126 <tt>realloc</tt>, and <tt>free</tt> routines in the C library.)
127 </p>
128 <p>
129 To deal with segmented pointer issues <tt>libtiff</tt> also provides
130 <tt>_TIFFmemcpy</tt>, <tt>_TIFFmemset</tt>, and <tt>_TIFFmemmove</tt>
131 routines that mimic the equivalent ANSI C routines, but that are
132 intended for use with memory allocated through <tt>_TIFFmalloc</tt>
133 and <tt>_TIFFrealloc</tt>.
134 </p>
135 <hr>
136 <h2 id="errors">Error Handling</h2>
137 <p>
138 <tt>libtiff</tt> handles most errors by returning an invalid/erroneous
139 value when returning from a function call.
140 Various diagnostic messages may also be generated by the library.
141 All error messages are directed to a single global error handler
142 routine that can be specified with a call to <tt>TIFFSetErrorHandler</tt>.
143 Likewise warning messages are directed to a single handler routine
144 that can be specified with a call to <tt>TIFFSetWarningHandler</tt>
145 </p>
146 <hr>
147 <h2 id="fio">Basic File Handling</h2>
148 <p>
149 The library is modeled after the normal UNIX stdio library.
150 For example, to read from an existing TIFF image the
151 file must first be opened:
152 </p>
153 <p style="margin-left: 40px">
154 <tt>#include "tiffio.h"<br>
155 main()<br>
156 {<br>
157 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TIFF* tif = TIFFOpen("foo.tif", "r");<br>
158 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;... do stuff ...<br>
159 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TIFFClose(tif);<br>
160 }</tt>
161 </p>
162 <p>
163 The handle returned by <tt>TIFFOpen</tt> is <i>opaque</i>, that is
164 the application is not permitted to know about its contents.
165 All subsequent library calls for this file must pass the handle
166 as an argument.
167 </p>
168 <p>
169 To create or overwrite a TIFF image the file is also opened, but with
170 a <tt>"w"</tt> argument:
171 <p>
172 <p style="margin-left: 40px">
173 <tt>#include "tiffio.h"<br>
174 main()<br>
175 {<br>
176 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TIFF* tif = TIFFOpen("foo.tif", "w");<br>
177 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;... do stuff ...<br>
178 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TIFFClose(tif);<br>
179 }</tt>
180 </p>
181 <p>
182 If the file already exists it is first truncated to zero length.
183 </p>
184 <table>
185 <tr>
186 <td valign=top><img src="images/warning.gif" width="40" height="40" alt=""></td>
187 <td><i>Note that unlike the stdio library TIFF image files may not be
188 opened for both reading and writing;
189 there is no support for altering the contents of a TIFF file.</i></td>
190 </tr>
191 </table>
192 <p>
193 <tt>libtiff</tt> buffers much information associated with writing a
194 valid TIFF image. Consequently, when writing a TIFF image it is necessary
195 to always call <tt>TIFFClose</tt> or <tt>TIFFFlush</tt> to flush any
196 buffered information to a file. Note that if you call <tt>TIFFClose</tt>
197 you do not need to call <tt>TIFFFlush</tt>.
198 </p>
199 <hr>
200 <h2 id="dirs">TIFF Directories</h2>
201 <p>
202 TIFF supports the storage of multiple images in a single file.
203 Each image has an associated data structure termed a <i>directory</i>
204 that houses all the information about the format and content of the
205 image data.
206 Images in a file are usually related but they do not need to be; it
207 is perfectly alright to store a color image together with a black and
208 white image.
209 Note however that while images may be related their directories are
210 not.
211 That is, each directory stands on its own; their is no need to read
212 an unrelated directory in order to properly interpret the contents
213 of an image.
214 </p>
215 <p>
216 <tt>libtiff</tt> provides several routines for reading and writing
217 directories. In normal use there is no need to explicitly
218 read or write a directory: the library automatically reads the first
219 directory in a file when opened for reading, and directory information
220 to be written is automatically accumulated and written when writing
221 (assuming <tt>TIFFClose</tt> or <tt>TIFFFlush</tt> are called).
222 </p>
223 <p>
224 For a file open for reading the <tt>TIFFSetDirectory</tt> routine can
225 be used to select an arbitrary directory; directories are referenced by
226 number with the numbering starting at 0. Otherwise the
227 <tt>TIFFReadDirectory</tt> and <tt>TIFFWriteDirectory</tt> routines can
228 be used for sequential access to directories.
229 For example, to count the number of directories in a file the following
230 code might be used:
231 </p>
232 <p style="margin-left: 40px">
233 <tt>#include "tiffio.h"<br>
234 main(int argc, char* argv[])<br>
235 {<br>
236 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TIFF* tif = TIFFOpen(argv[1], "r");<br>
237 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if (tif) {<br>
238 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;int dircount = 0;<br>
239 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;do {<br>
240 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;dircount++;<br>
241 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;} while (TIFFReadDirectory(tif));<br>
242 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;printf("%d directories in %s\n", dircount, argv[1]);<br>
243 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TIFFClose(tif);<br>
244 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br>
245 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;exit(0);<br>
246 }</tt>
247 </p>
248 <p>
249 Finally, note that there are several routines for querying the
250 directory status of an open file:
251 <tt>TIFFCurrentDirectory</tt> returns the index of the current
252 directory and
253 <tt>TIFFLastDirectory</tt> returns an indication of whether the
254 current directory is the last directory in a file.
255 There is also a routine, <tt>TIFFPrintDirectory</tt>, that can
256 be called to print a formatted description of the contents of
257 the current directory; consult the manual page for complete details.
258 </p>
259 <hr>
260 <h2 id="tags">TIFF Tags</h2>
261 <p>
262 Image-related information such as the image width and height, number
263 of samples, orientation, colorimetric information, etc.
264 are stored in each image
265 directory in <i>fields</i> or <i>tags</i>.
266 Tags are identified by a number that is usually a value registered
267 with the Aldus (now Adobe) Corporation.
268 Beware however that some vendors write
269 TIFF images with tags that are unregistered; in this case interpreting
270 their contents is usually a waste of time.
271 </p>
272 <p>
273 <tt>libtiff</tt> reads the contents of a directory all at once
274 and converts the on-disk information to an appropriate in-memory
275 form. While the TIFF specification permits an arbitrary set of
276 tags to be defined and used in a file, the library only understands
277 a limited set of tags.
278 Any unknown tags that are encountered in a file are ignored.
279 There is a mechanism to extend the set of tags the library handles
280 without modifying the library itself;
281 this is described <a href="addingtags.html">elsewhere</a>.
282 </p>
283 <p>
284 <tt>libtiff</tt> provides two interfaces for getting and setting tag
285 values: <tt>TIFFGetField</tt> and <tt>TIFFSetField</tt>.
286 These routines use a variable argument list-style interface to pass
287 parameters of different type through a single function interface.
288 The <i>get interface</i> takes one or more pointers to memory locations
289 where the tag values are to be returned and also returns one or
290 zero according to whether the requested tag is defined in the directory.
291 The <i>set interface</i> takes the tag values either by-reference or
292 by-value.
293 The TIFF specification defines
294 <i>default values</i> for some tags.
295 To get the value of a tag, or its default value if it is undefined,
296 the <tt>TIFFGetFieldDefaulted</tt> interface may be used.
297 </p>
298 <p>
299 The manual pages for the tag get and set routines specifiy the exact data types
300 and calling conventions required for each tag supported by the library.
301 </p>
302 <hr>
303 <h2 id="compression">TIFF Compression Schemes</h2>
304 <p>
305 <tt>libtiff</tt> includes support for a wide variety of
306 data compression schemes.
307 In normal operation a compression scheme is automatically used when
308 the TIFF <tt>Compression</tt> tag is set, either by opening a file
309 for reading, or by setting the tag when writing.
310 </p>
311 <p>
312 Compression schemes are implemented by software modules termed <i>codecs</i>
313 that implement decoder and encoder routines that hook into the
314 core library i/o support.
315 Codecs other than those bundled with the library can be registered
316 for use with the <tt>TIFFRegisterCODEC</tt> routine.
317 This interface can also be used to override the core-library
318 implementation for a compression scheme.
319 </p>
320 <hr>
321 <h2 id="byteorder">Byte Order</h2>
322 <p>
323 The TIFF specification says, and has always said, that
324 <em>a correct TIFF
325 reader must handle images in big-endian and little-endian byte order</em>.
326 <tt>libtiff</tt> conforms in this respect.
327 Consequently there is no means to force a specific
328 byte order for the data written to a TIFF image file (data is
329 written in the native order of the host CPU unless appending to
330 an existing file, in which case it is written in the byte order
331 specified in the file).
332 </p>
333 <hr>
334 <h2 id="dataplacement">Data Placement</h2>
335 <p>
336 The TIFF specification requires that all information except an
337 8-byte header can be placed anywhere in a file.
338 In particular, it is perfectly legitimate for directory information
339 to be written after the image data itself.
340 Consequently TIFF is inherently not suitable for passing through a
341 stream-oriented mechanism such as UNIX pipes.
342 Software that require that data be organized in a file in a particular
343 order (e.g. directory information before image data) does not
344 correctly support TIFF.
345 <tt>libtiff</tt> provides no mechanism for controlling the placement
346 of data in a file; image data is typically written before directory
347 information.
348 </p>
349 <hr>
350 <h2 id="tiffrgbaimage">TIFFRGBAImage Support</h2>
351 <p>
352 <tt>libtiff</tt> provides a high-level interface for reading image
353 data from a TIFF file. This interface handles the details of
354 data organization and format for a wide variety of TIFF files;
355 at least the large majority of those files that one would normally
356 encounter. Image data is, by default, returned as ABGR
357 pixels packed into 32-bit words (8 bits per sample). Rectangular
358 rasters can be read or data can be intercepted at an intermediate
359 level and packed into memory in a format more suitable to the
360 application.
361 The library handles all the details of the format of data stored on
362 disk and, in most cases, if any colorspace conversions are required:
363 bilevel to RGB, greyscale to RGB, CMYK to RGB, YCbCr to RGB, 16-bit
364 samples to 8-bit samples, associated/unassociated alpha, etc.
365 </p>
366 <p>
367 There are two ways to read image data using this interface. If
368 all the data is to be stored in memory and manipulated at once,
369 then the routine <tt>TIFFReadRGBAImage</tt> can be used:
370 </p>
371 <p>
372 <p style="margin-left: 40px">
373 <tt>#include "tiffio.h"<br>
374 main(int argc, char* argv[])<br>
375 {<br>
376 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TIFF* tif = TIFFOpen(argv[1], "r");<br>
377 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if (tif) {<br>
378 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;uint32 w, h;<br>
379 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;size_t npixels;<br>
380 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;uint32* raster;<br>
381 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>
382 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TIFFGetField(tif, TIFFTAG_IMAGEWIDTH, &amp;w);<br>
383 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TIFFGetField(tif, TIFFTAG_IMAGELENGTH, &amp;h);<br>
384 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;npixels = w * h;<br>
385 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;raster = (uint32*) _TIFFmalloc(npixels * sizeof (uint32));<br>
386 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if (raster != NULL) {<br>
387 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if (TIFFReadRGBAImage(tif, w, h, raster, 0)) {<br>
388 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;...process raster data...<br>
389 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br>
390 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;_TIFFfree(raster);<br>
391 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br>
392 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TIFFClose(tif);<br>
393 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br>
394 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;exit(0);<br>
395 }</tt>
396 </p>
397 <p>
398 Note above that <tt>_TIFFmalloc</tt> is used to allocate memory for
399 the raster passed to <tt>TIFFReadRGBAImage</tt>; this is important
400 to insure the ``appropriate type of memory'' is passed on machines
401 with segmented architectures.
402 </p>
403 <p>
404 Alternatively, <tt>TIFFReadRGBAImage</tt> can be replaced with a
405 more low-level interface that permits an application to have more
406 control over this reading procedure. The equivalent to the above
407 is:
408 </p>
409 <p style="margin-left: 40px">

435 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;exit(0);<br>
436 }</tt>
437 </p>
438 <p>
439 However this usage does not take advantage of the more fine-grained
440 control that's possible. That is, by using this interface it is
441 possible to:
442 </p>
443 <ul>
444 <li>repeatedly fetch (and manipulate) an image without opening
445 and closing the file</li>
446 <li>interpose a method for packing raster pixel data according to
447 application-specific needs (or write the data at all)</li>
448 <li>interpose methods that handle TIFF formats that are not already
449 handled by the core library</li>
450 </ul>
451 <p>
452 The first item means that, for example, image viewers that want to
453 handle multiple files can cache decoding information in order to
454 speedup the work required to display a TIFF image.
455 </p>
456 <p>
457 The second item is the main reason for this interface. By interposing
458 a "put method" (the routine that is called to pack pixel data in
459 the raster) it is possible share the core logic that understands how
460 to deal with TIFF while packing the resultant pixels in a format that
461 is optimized for the application. This alternate format might be very
462 different than the 8-bit per sample ABGR format the library writes by
463 default. For example, if the application is going to display the image
464 on an 8-bit colormap display the put routine might take the data and
465 convert it on-the-fly to the best colormap indices for display.
466 </p>
467 <p>
468 The last item permits an application to extend the library
469 without modifying the core code.
470 By overriding the code provided an application might add support
471 for some esoteric flavor of TIFF that it needs, or it might
472 substitute a packing routine that is able to do optimizations
473 using application/environment-specific information.
474 </p>
475 <p>
476 The TIFF image viewer found in <b>tools/sgigt.c</b> is an example
477 of an application that makes use of the <tt>TIFFRGBAImage</tt>
478 support.
479 </p>

481 <h2 id="scanlines">Scanline-based Image I/O</h2>
482 <p>
483 The simplest interface provided by <tt>libtiff</tt> is a
484 scanline-oriented interface that can be used to read TIFF
485 images that have their image data organized in strips
486 (trying to use this interface to read data written in tiles
487 will produce errors.)
488 A scanline is a one pixel high row of image data whose width
489 is the width of the image.
490 Data is returned packed if the image data is stored with samples
491 packed together, or as arrays of separate samples if the data
492 is stored with samples separated.
493 The major limitation of the scanline-oriented interface, other
494 than the need to first identify an existing file as having a
495 suitable organization, is that random access to individual
496 scanlines can only be provided when data is not stored in a
497 compressed format, or when the number of rows in a strip
498 of image data is set to one (<tt>RowsPerStrip</tt> is one).
499 </p>
500 <p>
501 Two routines are provided for scanline-based i/o:
502 <tt>TIFFReadScanline</tt>
503 and
504 <tt>TIFFWriteScanline</tt>.
505 For example, to read the contents of a file that
506 is assumed to be organized in strips, the following might be used:
507 </p>
508 <p style="margin-left: 40px">
509 <tt>#include "tiffio.h"<br>
510 main()<br>
511 {<br>
512 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TIFF* tif = TIFFOpen("myfile.tif", "r");<br>
513 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if (tif) {<br>
514 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;uint32 imagelength;<br>
515 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;tdata_t buf;<br>
516 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;uint32 row;<br>
517 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>
518 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TIFFGetField(tif, TIFFTAG_IMAGELENGTH, &amp;imagelength);<br>
519 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;buf = _TIFFmalloc(TIFFScanlineSize(tif));<br>
520 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;for (row = 0; row &lt; imagelength; row++)<br>
521 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;tiffreadscanline(tif, buf, row);<br>
522 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;_tifffree(buf);<br>
523 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;tiffclose(tif);<br>
524 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br>
525 }</tt>
526 </p>
527 <p>
528 <tt>TIFFScanlineSize</tt> returns the number of bytes in
529 a decoded scanline, as returned by <tt>TIFFReadScanline</tt>.
530 Note however that if the file had been create with samples
531 written in separate planes, then the above code would only
532 read data that contained the first sample of each pixel;
533 to handle either case one might use the following instead:
534 </p>
535 <p style="margin-left: 40px">
536 <tt>#include "tiffio.h"<br>
537 main()<br>
538 {<br>
539 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TIFF* tif = TIFFOpen("myfile.tif", "r");<br>
540 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if (tif) {<br>

542 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;tdata_t buf;<br>
543 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;uint32 row;<br>
544 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>
545 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TIFFGetField(tif, TIFFTAG_IMAGELENGTH, &amp;imagelength);<br>
546 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TIFFGetField(tif, TIFFTAG_PLANARCONFIG, &amp;config);<br>
547 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;buf = _TIFFmalloc(TIFFScanlineSize(tif));<br>
548 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if (config == PLANARCONFIG_CONTIG) {<br>
549 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;for (row = 0; row &lt; imagelength; row++)<br>
550 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;tiffreadscanline(tif, buf, row);<br>
551 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;} else if (config == planarconfig_separate) {<br>
552 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;uint16 s, nsamples;<br>
553 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>
554 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;tiffgetfield(tif, tifftag_samplesperpixel, &amp;nsamples);<br>
555 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;for (s = 0; s &lt; nsamples; s++)<br>

557 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;tiffreadscanline(tif, buf, row, s);<br>
558 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br>
559 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;_tifffree(buf);<br>
560 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;tiffclose(tif);<br>
561 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br>
562 }</tt>
563 </p>
564 <p>
565 Beware however that if the following code were used instead to
566 read data in the case <tt>PLANARCONFIG_SEPARATE</tt>,...
567 </p>
568 <p style="margin-left: 40px">
569 <tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;for (row = 0; row &lt; imagelength; row++)<br>
570 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;for (s = 0; s &lt; nsamples; s++)<br>
571 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;tiffreadscanline(tif, buf, row, s);</tt>
572 </p>
573 <p>
574 ...then problems would arise if <tt>RowsPerStrip</tt> was not one
575 because the order in which scanlines are requested would require
576 random access to data within strips (something that is not supported
577 by the library when strips are compressed).
578 </p>
579 <hr>
580 <h2 id="strips">Strip-oriented Image I/O</h2>
581 <p>
582 The strip-oriented interfaces provided by the library provide
583 access to entire strips of data. Unlike the scanline-oriented
584 calls, data can be read or written compressed or uncompressed.
585 Accessing data at a strip (or tile) level is often desirable
586 because there are no complications with regard to random access
587 to data within strips.
588 </p>
589 <p>
590 A simple example of reading an image by strips is:
591 </p>
592 <p style="margin-left: 40px">
593 <tt>#include "tiffio.h"<br>
594 main()<br>
595 {<br>
596 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TIFF* tif = TIFFOpen("myfile.tif", "r");<br>
597 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if (tif) {<br>
598 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;tdata_t buf;<br>
599 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;tstrip_t strip;<br>
600 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>
601 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;buf = _TIFFmalloc(TIFFStripSize(tif));<br>
602 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;for (strip = 0; strip &lt; tiffnumberofstrips(tif); strip++)<br>
603 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;tiffreadencodedstrip(tif, strip, buf, (tsize_t) -1);<br>
604 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;_tifffree(buf);<br>
605 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;tiffclose(tif);<br>
606 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br>
607 }</tt>
608 </p>
609 <p>
610 Notice how a strip size of <tt>-1</tt> is used; <tt>TIFFReadEncodedStrip</tt>
611 will calculate the appropriate size in this case.
612 </p>
613 <p>
614 The above code reads strips in the order in which the
615 data is physically stored in the file. If multiple samples
616 are present and data is stored with <tt>PLANARCONFIG_SEPARATE</tt>
617 then all the strips of data holding the first sample will be
618 read, followed by strips for the second sample, etc.
619 </p>
620 <p>
621 Finally, note that the last strip of data in an image may have fewer
622 rows in it than specified by the <tt>RowsPerStrip</tt> tag. A
623 reader should not assume that each decoded strip contains a full
624 set of rows in it.
625 </p>
626 <p>
627 The following is an example of how to read raw strips of data from
628 a file:
629 </p>
630 <p style="margin-left: 40px">
631 <tt>#include "tiffio.h"<br>
632 main()<br>
633 {<br>
634 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TIFF* tif = TIFFOpen("myfile.tif", "r");<br>
635 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if (tif) {<br>
636 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;tdata_t buf;<br>
637 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;tstrip_t strip;<br>
638 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;uint32* bc;<br>
639 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;uint32 stripsize;<br>
640 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>
641 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TIFFGetField(tif, TIFFTAG_STRIPBYTECOUNTS, &amp;bc);<br>
642 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;stripsize = bc[0];<br>
643 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;buf = _TIFFmalloc(stripsize);<br>
644 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;for (strip = 0; strip &lt; tiffnumberofstrips(tif); strip++) {<br>
645 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if (bc[strip] &gt; stripsize) {<br>
646 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;buf = _TIFFrealloc(buf, bc[strip]);<br>
647 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;stripsize = bc[strip];<br>
648 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br>
649 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TIFFReadRawStrip(tif, strip, buf, bc[strip]);<br>
650 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br>
651 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;_TIFFfree(buf);<br>
652 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TIFFClose(tif);<br>
653 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br>
654 }</tt>
655 </p>
656 <p>
657 As above the strips are read in the order in which they are
658 physically stored in the file; this may be different from the
659 logical ordering expected by an application.
660 </p>
661 <hr>
662 <h2 id="tiles">Tile-oriented Image I/O</h2>
663 <p>
664 Tiles of data may be read and written in a manner similar to strips.
665 With this interface, an image is
666 broken up into a set of rectangular areas that may have dimensions
667 less than the image width and height. All the tiles
668 in an image have the same size, and the tile width and length must each
669 be a multiple of 16 pixels. Tiles are ordered left-to-right and
670 top-to-bottom in an image. As for scanlines, samples can be packed
671 contiguously or separately. When separated, all the tiles for a sample
672 are colocated in the file. That is, all the tiles for sample 0 appear
673 before the tiles for sample 1, etc.
674 </p>
675 <p>
676 Tiles and strips may also be extended in a z dimension to form
677 volumes. Data volumes are organized as "slices". That is, all the
678 data for a slice is colocated. Volumes whose data is organized in
679 tiles can also have a tile depth so that data can be organized in
680 cubes.
681 </p>
682 <p>
683 There are actually two interfaces for tiles.
684 One interface is similar to scanlines, to read a tiled image,
685 code of the following sort might be used:
686 </p>
687 <p style="margin-left: 40px">
688 <tt>main()<br>
689 {<br>
690 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TIFF* tif = TIFFOpen("myfile.tif", "r");<br>
691 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;if (tif) {<br>
692 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;uint32 imageWidth, imageLength;<br>
693 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;uint32 tileWidth, tileLength;<br>
694 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;uint32 x, y;<br>
695 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;tdata_t buf;<br>
696 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>
697 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TIFFGetField(tif, TIFFTAG_IMAGEWIDTH, &amp;imageWidth);<br>
698 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TIFFGetField(tif, TIFFTAG_IMAGELENGTH, &amp;imageLength);<br>
699 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TIFFGetField(tif, TIFFTAG_TILEWIDTH, &amp;tileWidth);<br>
700 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;TIFFGetField(tif, TIFFTAG_TILELENGTH, &amp;tileLength);<br>
701 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;buf = _TIFFmalloc(TIFFTileSize(tif));<br>
702 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;for (y = 0; y &lt; imagelength; y += tilelength)<br>
703 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;for (x = 0; x &lt; imagewidth; x += tilewidth)<br>
704 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;tiffreadtile(tif, buf, x, y, 0);<br>
705 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;_tifffree(buf);<br>
706 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;tiffclose(tif);<br>
707 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;}<br>
708 }</tt>
709 </p>
710 <p>
711 (once again, we assume samples are packed contiguously.)
712 </p>
713 <p>
714 Alternatively a direct interface to the low-level data is provided
715 a la strips. Tiles can be read with
716 <tt>TIFFReadEncodedTile</tt> or <tt>TIFFReadRawTile</tt>,
717 and written with <tt>TIFFWriteEncodedTile</tt> or
718 <tt>TIFFWriteRawTile</tt>. For example, to read all the tiles in an image:
719 </p>
720 <p style="margin-left: 40px">
721 <tt>#include "tiffio.h"<br>
722 main()<br>

730 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;for (tile = 0; tile &lt; tiffnumberoftiles(tif); tile++)<br>
731 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;tiffreadencodedtile(tif, tile, buf, (tsize_t) -1);<br>
