.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.I libtiff
|
||
|
|
supports a variety of compression schemes implemented by software
|
||
|
|
.IR codecs .
|
||
|
|
Each codec adheres to a modular interface that provides for
|
||
|
|
the decoding and encoding of image data; as well as some other
|
||
|
|
methods for initialization, setup, cleanup, and the control
|
||
|
|
of default strip and tile sizes.
|
||
|
|
Codecs are identified by the associated value of the
|
||
|
|
.SM TIFF
|
||
|
|
.I Compression
|
||
|
|
tag; e.g. 5 for
|
||
|
|
.SM LZW
|
||
|
|
compression.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.I TIFFRegisterCODEC
|
||
|
|
routine can be used to
|
||
|
|
augment or override the set of codecs available to an application.
|
||
|
|
If the specified
|
||
|
|
.I scheme
|
||
|
|
already has a registered codec then it is
|
||
|
|
.I overridden
|
||
|
|
and any images with data encoded with this
|
||
|
|
compression scheme will be decoded using the supplied coded.
|
||
|
|
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
|
||
|
|
.BR "No space to register compression scheme %s" .
|
||
|
|
.I TIFFRegisterCODEC
|
||
|
|
was unable to allocate memory for the data structures needed
|
||
|
|
to register a codec.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
.BR "Cannot remove compression scheme %s; not registered" .
|
||
|
|
.I TIFFUnRegisterCODEC
|
||
|
|
did not locate the specified codec in the table of registered
|
||
|
|
compression schemes.
