Description
Read the specified tile of data and place up to size bytes of decompressed information in the (user
supplied) data buffer.
Diagnostics
All error messages are directed to the TIFFErrorExtR() routine.
Name
TIFFReadEncodedTile - read and decode a tile of data from an open TIFF file
Notes
The value of tile is a "raw tile number". That is, the caller must take into account whether or not the
data are organized in separate planes (PlanarConfiguration = 2). TIFFComputeTile() automatically does
this when converting an (x,y,z,sample) coordinate quadruple to a tile number. To read a full tile of data
the data buffer should be at least as large as the value returned by TIFFTileSize().
The library attempts to hide bit- and byte-ordering differences between the image and the native machine
by converting data to the native machine order. Bit reversal is done if the FillOrder tag is opposite to
the native machine bit order. 16- and 32-bit samples are automatically byte-swapped if the file was
written with a byte order opposite to the native machine byte order.
Return Values
The actual number of bytes of data that were placed in buf is returned; TIFFReadEncodedTile() returns -1
if an error was encountered.
