Hi Sam,
|
|
|
|
I noticed in the README from libtiff that you would like to know about
|
|
what people have done with libtiff, so I thought I would drop you a
|
|
line.
|
|
|
|
We have used libtiff to create and convert TIFF images of financial
|
|
documents which are sent from and to major document processing systems
|
|
in Sweden and Denmark.
|
|
|
|
I would like to express my deep gratitude to yourself and Sillicon
|
|
Graphics for making this excellent library available for public use.
|
|
There is obviously a lot of work that has gone in to libtiff and the
|
|
quality of the code and documentation is an example to others.
|
|
|
|
One thing that libtiff did not do was work on a memory area rather than
|
|
files. In my applications I had already read a TIFF or other format
|
|
file in to memory and did not want to waste I/O writing it out again
|
|
for libtiff's benefit. I therefore constructed a set of functions to
|
|
pass up to TIFFClientOpen to simulate a file in memory. I have attached
|
|
my mfs (memory file system) source code for you to use or junk, as you
|
|
see fit. :-)
|
|
|
|
Once again, thanks very much for making my life simpler.
|
|
|
|
Best Regards,
|
|
|
|
Mike Johnson.
