NAME

       TIFFWriteTile - encode and write a tile of data to an open TIFF file

SYNOPSIS

       #include <tiffio.h>

       tsize_t  TIFFWriteTile(TIFF  *tif,  tdata_t  buf,  uint32 x, uint32 y, uint32 z, tsample_t
       sample)

DESCRIPTION

       Write the data for the tile containing the specified coordinates. The data in 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 TIFFTileSize to find out the size (in bytes) of a tile buffer. The
       x and y parameters are always used by TIFFWriteTile.  The z parameter is used if the image
       is  deeper  than  1  slice  (ImageDepth>1).  The sample parameter is used only if data are
       organized in separate planes (PlanarConfiguration=2).

RETURN VALUES

       TIFFWriteTile returns -1 if it detects an error; otherwise the number of bytes in the tile
       is returned.

DIAGNOSTICS

       All error messages are directed to the TIFFError(3TIFF) routine.
