The data placed in <I>buf</I> are returned decompressed and, typically, in the native byte- and bit-ordering, but are otherwise packed (see further below). The buffer must be large enough to hold an entire tile of data. Applications should call the routine <I>TIFFTileSize</I> to find out the size (in bytes) of a tile buffer. The <I>x</I> and <I>y</I> parameters are always used by <I>TIFFReadTile</I>. The <I>z</I> parameter is used if the image is deeper than 1 slice (<I>ImageDepth</I>>1). The <I>sample</I> parameter is used only if data are organized in separate planes (<I>PlanarConfiguration</I>=2). <A NAME="lbAE"> </A> <H2>NOTES</H2> 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 done if the <I>FillOrder</I> tag is opposite to the native machine bit order. 16- and 32-bit samples are automatically byte-swapped if the file was written with a byte order opposite to the native machine byte order, <A NAME="lbAF"> </A> <H2>RETURN VALUES</H2> <I>TIFFReadTile</I> returns -1 if it detects an error; otherwise the number of bytes in the decoded tile is returned. <A NAME="lbAG"> </A> <H2>DIAGNOSTICS</H2> All error messages are directed to the <I><A HREF="TIFFError.3t.html">TIFFError</A></I>(3T) routine. <A NAME="lbAH"> </A> <H2>SEE ALSO</H2> <I><A HREF="libtiff.3t.html">libtiff</A></I>(3T), <I><A HREF="TIFFCheckTile.3t.html">TIFFCheckTile</A></I>(3T), <I><A HREF="TIFFComputeTile.3t.html">TIFFComputeTile</A></I>(3T), <I><A HREF="TIFFOpen.3t.html">TIFFOpen</A></I>(3T), <I><A HREF="TIFFReadEncodedTile.3t.html">TIFFReadEncodedTile</A></I>(3T), <I><A HREF="TIFFReadRawTile.3t.html">TIFFReadRawTile</A></I>(3T) <HR> <A NAME="index"> </A><H2>Index</H2> <DL> <DT><A HREF="#lbAB">NAME</A><DD> <DT><A HREF="#lbAC">SYNOPSIS</A><DD> <DT><A HREF="#lbAD">DESCRIPTION</A><DD> <DT><A HREF="#lbAE">NOTES</A><DD> <DT><A HREF="#lbAF">RETURN VALUES</A><DD> <DT><A HREF="#lbAG">DIAGNOSTICS</A><DD> <DT><A HREF="#lbAH">SEE ALSO</A><DD> </DL> <HR> This document was created by <A HREF="index.html">man2html</A>, using the manual pages.<BR> Time: 01:31:38 GMT, November 23, 1999 </BODY> </HTML>
