NAME

       TIFFReadEncodedTile - read and decode a tile of data from an open TIFF file

SYNOPSIS

       #include <tiffio.h>

       int TIFFReadEncodedTile(TIFF *tif, ttile_t tile, tdata_t buf, tsize_t size)

DESCRIPTION

       Read  the specified tile of data and place up to size bytes of decompressed information in
       the (user supplied) data buffer.

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.

DIAGNOSTICS

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