NAME

       TIFFReadEncodedStrip - read and decode a strip of data from an open TIFF file

SYNOPSIS

          #include <tiffio.h>

       tmsize_t TIFFReadEncodedStrip(TIFF *tif, uint32_t strip, void *buf, tmsize_t size)

DESCRIPTION

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

NOTES

       The value of strip is a "raw strip number".  That is, the caller must  take  into  account
       whether  or  not  the data are organized in separate planes (PlanarConfiguration = 2).  To
       read a full strip of data the data buffer should typically be at least  as  large  as  the
       number  returned  by  TIFFStripSize().   If  -1 is passed in the size parameter, the whole
       strip will be read. You should be sure you have enough space allocated for the buffer.

       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;
       TIFFReadEncodedStrip() returns -1 if an error was encountered.

DIAGNOSTICS

       All error messages are directed to the TIFFErrorExtR() routine.
