<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">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&rsquo;s needs by installing custom routines that
manipulate image data according to application
requirements.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">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.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">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.)</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">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).</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><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.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The parameter
<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.</p>
<a name="ALTERNATE RASTER FORMATS"></a>
<h2>ALTERNATE RASTER FORMATS</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">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 &lsquo;&lsquo;<i>put
methods</i>&rsquo;&rsquo; 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.</p>
<a name="SIMULTANEOUS RASTER STORE AND DISPLAY"></a>
<h2>SIMULTANEOUS RASTER STORE AND DISPLAY</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">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:</p>
<pre style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">static void
putContigAndDraw(TIFFRGBAImage* img, uint32* raster,
uint32 x, uint32 y, uint32 w, uint32 h,
int32 fromskew, int32 toskew,
unsigned char* cp)
{
(*putContig)(img, raster, x, y, w, h, fromskew, toskew, cp);
if (x+w == width) {
w = width;
if (img-&gt;orientation == ORIENTATION_TOPLEFT)
lrectwrite(0, y-(h-1), w-1, y, raster-x-(h-1)*w);
else
lrectwrite(0, y, w-1, y+h-1, raster);
}
}</pre>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">(the original
routine provided by the library is saved in the variable
<i>putContig</i>.)</p>
<a name="SUPPORTING ADDITIONAL TIFF FORMATS"></a>
<h2>SUPPORTING ADDITIONAL TIFF FORMATS</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">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
&lsquo;&lsquo;<i>get method</i>&rsquo;&rsquo; 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.</p>
<a name="NOTES"></a>
<h2>NOTES</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Samples must be
either 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 bits. Colorimetric samples/pixel
must be either 1, 3, or 4 (i.e. <i>SamplesPerPixel</i> minus
<i>ExtraSamples</i>).</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Palette image
colormaps that appear to be incorrectly written as 8-bit
values are automatically scaled to 16-bits.</p>
<a name="RETURN VALUES"></a>
<h2>RETURN VALUES</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">All routines
return 1 if the operation was successful. Otherwise, 0 is
returned if an error was encountered and <i>stopOnError</i>
is zero.</p>
<a name="DIAGNOSTICS"></a>
<h2>DIAGNOSTICS</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">All error
messages are directed to the <i>TIFFError</i>(3TIFF)
routine.</p>
