NAME

       TIFFWritedEncodedTile - compress and write a tile of data to an open TIFF file

SYNOPSIS

       #include <tiffio.h>

       tsize_t TIFFWriteEncodedTile(TIFF *tif, ttile_t tile, tdata_t buf, tsize_t size)

DESCRIPTION

       Compress  size  bytes  of  raw data from buf and append the result to the end of the specified tile. Note
       that the value of tile is a ``raw tile number.'' That is, the caller must take into  account  whether  or
       not  the  data  are  organized in separate places (PlanarConfiguration=2).  TIFFComputeTile automatically
       does this when converting an (x,y,z,sample) coordinate quadruple to a tile number.

NOTES

       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.

RETURN VALUES

       -1 is returned if an error was encountered. Otherwise, the value of size is returned.

DIAGNOSTICS

       All error messages are directed to the TIFFError(3TIFF) routine.

       %s: File not open for writing.  The file was opened for reading, not writing.

       Can  not write tiles to a stripped image.  The image is assumed to be organized in strips because neither
       of the TileWidth or TileLength tags have been set with TIFFSetField(3TIFF).

       %s: Must set "ImageWidth" before writing data. The image's width has not be set before the  first  write.
       See TIFFSetField(3TIFF) 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(3TIFF) for information on how to do this.

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