  25. .TH TIFFReadTile 3TIFF "December 16, 1991" "libtiff"
  26. .SH NAME
  27. TIFFReadTile \- read and decode a tile of data from an open
  28. .SM TIFF
  29. file
  30. .SH SYNOPSIS
  31. .B "#include <tiffio.h>"
  32. .sp
  33. .BI "tsize_t TIFFReadTile(TIFF *" tif ", tdata_t " buf ", uint32_t " x ", uint32_t " y ", uint32_t " z ", tsample_t " sample ")"
  34. .SH DESCRIPTION
  35. Return the data for the tile
  36. .I containing
  37. the specified coordinates. The data placed in
  38. .I buf
  39. are returned decompressed and, typically, in the native byte- and
  40. bit-ordering, but are otherwise packed (see further below). The buffer must be
  41. large enough to hold an entire tile of data. Applications should call the
  42. routine
  43. .IR TIFFTileSize
  44. to find out the size (in bytes) of a tile buffer. The
  45. .I x
  46. and
  47. .I y
  48. parameters are always used by
  49. .IR TIFFReadTile .
  50. The
  51. .I z
  52. parameter is used if the image is deeper than 1 slice (\c
  53. .IR ImageDepth >1).
  54. The
  55. .I sample
  56. parameter is used only if data are organized in separate planes (\c
  57. .IR PlanarConfiguration =2).
  58. .SH NOTES
  59. The library attempts to hide bit- and byte-ordering differences between the
  60. image and the native machine by converting data to the native machine order.
  61. Bit reversal is done if the
  62. .I FillOrder
  63. tag is opposite to the native machine bit order. 16- and 32-bit samples are
  64. automatically byte-swapped if the file was written with a byte order opposite
  65. to the native machine byte order,
  66. .SH "RETURN VALUES"
  67. .IR TIFFReadTile
  68. returns \-1 if it detects an error; otherwise the number of bytes in the
  69. decoded tile is returned.
  70. .SH DIAGNOSTICS
  71. All error messages are directed to the
  72. .BR TIFFError (3TIFF)
  73. routine.
