<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<I>libtiff</I>
supports a variety of compression schemes implemented by software
<I>codecs</I>.
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
<FONT SIZE="-1">TIFF</FONT>
<I>Compression</I>
tag; e.g. 5 for
<FONT SIZE="-1">LZW</FONT>
compression.
<P>
The
<I>TIFFRegisterCODEC</I>
routine can be used to
augment or override the set of codecs available to an application.
If the specified
<I>scheme</I>
already has a registered codec then it is
<I>overridden</I>
and any images with data encoded with this
compression scheme will be decoded using the supplied coded.
<A NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>DIAGNOSTICS</H2>
<B>No space to register compression scheme %s</B>.
<I>TIFFRegisterCODEC</I>
was unable to allocate memory for the data structures needed
to register a codec.
<P>
<B>Cannot remove compression scheme %s; not registered</B>.
<I>TIFFUnRegisterCODEC</I>
did not locate the specified codec in the table of registered
compression schemes.
