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

NAME
       TIFFWriteTile - encode and write a tile of data to an open TIFF file

SYNOPSIS
       #include <tiffio.h>
       tsize_t TIFFWriteTile(TIFF* tif, tdata_t buf, uint32 x,
       uint32 y, uint32 z, tsample_t sample)

DESCRIPTION
       Write  the  data for the tile containing the specified coordinates. The data in buf is potentially compressed, and written to the indicated
       file, normally appended to the end of the file. The buffer must contain an entire tile  of  data.  Applications	should	call  the  routine
       TIFFTileSize  to  find  out the size in bytes of a tile buffer. The x and y parameters are always used by TIFFWriteTile. The z parameter is
       used if the image is deeper than 1 slice (ImageDepth>1). The sample parameter is used only if data is organized in separate planes (Planar-
       Configuration=2).

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

RETURN VALUES
       Returns --1 if it detects an error. Otherwise, returns the number of bytes in the tile.
