  61 large enough to hold an entire scanline of data.
 
  62 Applications should call the routine

  63 to find out the size (in bytes) of a scanline buffer. The
 
  64 <i>row

  66 only if data are organized in separate planes

 115 <i>RowsPerStrip

 117 packed into a strip. In this case, the library does not
 
 118 support random access to the data. The data should either be
 
 119 accessed sequentially, or the file should be converted so
 
 120 that each strip is made up of one row of data.
