The routines described here provide a high-level interface
through which <small>TIFF</small> images may be read into
memory. Images may be strip- or tile-based and have a
variety of different characteristics: bits/sample,
samples/pixel, photometric, etc. Decoding state is
encapsulated in a <i>TIFFRGBAImage</i> structure making it
possible to capture state for multiple images and quickly
switch between them. The target raster format can be
customized to a particular application's needs by installing
custom routines that manipulate image data according to
application requirements.</td></table>

<tr valign="top" align="left">
<td width="10%"></td><td width="90%">
The default usage for these routines is: check if an image
can be processed using <i>TIFFRGBAImageOK</i>, construct a
decoder state block using <i>TIFFRGBAImageBegin</i>, read
and decode an image into a target raster using
<i>TIFFRGBAImageGet</i>, and then release resources using
<i>TIFFRGBAImageEnd</i>. <i>TIFFRGBAImageGet</i> can be
called multiple times to decode an image using different
state parameters. If multiple images are to be displayed and
there is not enough space for each of the decoded rasters,
multiple state blocks can be managed and then calls can be
made to <i>TIFFRGBAImageGet</i> as needed to display an
image.</td></table>

The generated raster is assumed to be an array of
<i>width</i> times <i>height</i> 32-bit entries, where
<i>width</i> must be less than or equal to the width of the
image (<i>height</i> may be any non-zero size). If the
raster dimensions are smaller than the image, the image data
is cropped to the raster bounds. If the raster height is
greater than that of the image, then the image data are
placed in the lower part of the raster. (Note that the
raster is assume to be organized such that the pixel at
location (<i>x</i>,<i>y</i>) is
<i>raster</i>[<i>y</i>*<i>width</i>+<i>x</i>]; with the
raster origin in the <b>lower-left</b> hand
corner.)</td></table>

Raster pixels are 8-bit packed red, green, blue, alpha
samples. The macros <i>TIFFGetR</i>, <i>TIFFGetG</i>,
<i>TIFFGetB</i>, and <i>TIFFGetA</i> should be used to
access individual samples. Images without Associated Alpha
matting information have a constant Alpha of 1.0
(255).</td></table>

<i>TIFFRGBAImageGet</i> converts non-8-bit images by scaling
sample values. Palette, grayscale, bilevel,
<small>CMYK</small> , and YCbCr images are converted to
<small>RGB</small> transparently. Raster pixels are returned
uncorrected by any colorimetry information present in the
directory.</td></table>

The paramater <i>stopOnError</i> specifies how to act if an
error is encountered while reading the image. If
<i>stopOnError</i> is non-zero, then an error will terminate
the operation; otherwise <i>TIFFRGBAImageGet</i> will
continue processing data until all the possible data in the
image have been requested.</td></table>

To use the core support for reading and processing
<small>TIFF</small> images, but write the resulting raster
data in a different format one need only override the
``<i>put methods</i>'' used to store raster data. These
methods are are defined in the <i>TIFFRGBAImage</i>
structure and initially setup by <i>TIFFRGBAImageBegin</i>
to point to routines that pack raster data in the default
<small>ABGR</small> pixel format. Two different routines are
used according to the physical organization of the image
data in the file: <i>PlanarConfiguration</i>=1 (packed
samples), and <i>PlanarConfiguration</i>=2 (separated
samples). Note that this mechanism can be used to transform
the data before storing it in the raster. For example one
can convert data to colormap indices for display on a
colormap display.</td></table>

It is simple to display an image as it is being read into
memory by overriding the put methods as described above for
supporting alternate raster formats. Simply keep a reference
to the default put methods setup by
<i>TIFFRGBAImageBegin</i> and then invoke them before or
after each display operation. For example, the
<i>tiffgt</i>(1) utility uses the following put method to
update the display as the raster is being
filled:</td></table>

The <i>TIFFRGBAImage</i> routines support the most commonly
encountered flavors of <small>TIFF.</small> It is possible
to extend this support by overriding the ``<i>get
method</i>'' invoked by <i>TIFFRGBAImageGet</i> to read
<small>TIFF</small> image data. Details of doing this are a
bit involved, it is best to make a copy of an existing get
method and modify it to suit the needs of an
application.</td></table>
