TIFFWriteEncodedTile(3T)												  TIFFWriteEncodedTile(3T)

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  (PlanarConfigura-
       tion=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(3T) 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(3T).

       %s: Must set "ImageWidth" before writing data.  The image's width has not be set before the first write.  See TIFFSetField(3T) for informa-
       tion 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  TIFFSet-
       Field(3T) 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.
