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.
