TIFFReadEncodedTile(3tiff)				 Introduction to Library Functions				TIFFReadEncodedTile(3tiff)

NAME
       TIFFReadEncodedTile - read and decode a tile of data from an open TIFF file

SYNOPSIS
       #include <tiffio.h>
       int TIFFReadEncodedTile(TIFF* tif, u_long tile, u_char* buf,
       u_long size)

DESCRIPTION
       Read the specified tile of data and place up to size bytes of decompressed information in the user-supplied data buffer.

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
       The  value  of  tile  is  a "raw tile number".  That is, the caller must take into account whether or not the data is organized in separate
       planes (PlanarConfiguration=2). TIFFComputeTile automatically does this when converting an x,y,z,sample coordinate quadruple to a tile num-
       ber. To read a full tile of data, the data buffer should typically be at least as large as the value returned by TIFFTileSize(3tiff).

       The  library  attempts to hide bit- and byte-ordering differences between the image and the native machine by converting data to the native
       machine order. Bit reversal is performed if the FillOrder tag is opposite to the native machine bit order. 16- and 32-bit samples are auto-
       matically byte-swapped if the file was written with a byte order opposite to the native machine byte order.

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

RETURN VALUES
       Returns the actual number of bytes of data that were placed in buf. Returns -1 if an error was encountered.
