+.SH NAME
+TIFFWriteTile \- encode and write a tile of data to an open
+.SM TIFF
+file
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B "#include <tiffio.h>"
+.br
+.B "tsize_t TIFFWriteTile(TIFF* tif, tdata_t buf, uint32 x, uint32 y, uint32 z, tsample_t sample)"
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Write the data for the tile
+.I containing
+the specified coordinates.
+The data in
+.I buf
+are is (potentially) compressed, and written to the indicated file, normally
+being appended to the end of the file.
+The buffer must be contain an entire tile of data.
+Applications should call the routine
+.IR TIFFTileSize
+to find out the size (in bytes) of a tile buffer.
+The
+.I x
+and
+.I y
+parameters are always used by
+.IR TIFFWriteTile .
+The
+.I z
+parameter is used if the image is deeper than 1 slice (\c
+.IR ImageDepth >1).
+The
+.I sample
+parameter is used only if data are organized in separate planes (\c
+.IR PlanarConfiguration =2).
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.IR TIFFWriteTile
+returns \-1 if it detects an error; otherwise the number of
+bytes in the tile is returned.
+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+All error messages are directed to the
+.IR TIFFError (3T)
+routine.
