NAME

       TIFFReadRawTile - return an undecoded tile of data from an open TIFF file

SYNOPSIS

       #include <tiffio.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

       Read  the  contents of the specified tile into the (user supplied) data buffer.  Note that
       the value of tile is a ``raw tile number.'' That is, the caller  must  take  into  account
       whether  or  not  the  data  is  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 typically
       be at least as large as the value returned by TIFFTileSize.

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.
