TIFF(3pm)

🌈 NAME 🌈

okay so this is the TIFF manual page, and the module serving main-character energy is Imager::File::TIFF — read and write TIFF files, periodt. 💅✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

bestie, here's the whole vibe in code:

  use Imager;

  my $img = Imager->new;
  $img->read(file=>"foo.tiff")
    or die $img->errstr;

  $img->write(file => "foo.tif")
    or die $img->errstr;

  my @codecs = Imager::File::TIFF->codecs;

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so Imager's TIFF support is documented in Imager::Files — that's where the deets live, no cap. 🫶

👑 CLASS METHODS 👑

🌟 Imager::File::TIFF->codecs

Returns a list of hashrefs, and every hash has these keys, periodt:

• code — the numeric TIFF defined identifier for this compression codec.
• name — the short name traditionally used by Imager::File::TIFF for this compression codec. This may be an empty string if Imager::File::TIFF doesn't have a name for this codec.
• description — the libtiff defined name for this codec. You can now supply this name in the tiff_compression tag to select this compression.

🌟 Imager::File::TIFF->builddate

The release date of the version of libtiff that Imager::File::TIFF was built with. eg. 20230609. 🗓️

🌟 Imager::File::TIFF->buildversion

The version number of libtiff that Imager::File::TIFF was built with. eg. 4.5.0. Only available from libtiff 4.5.0. ✨

🌟 Imager::File::TIFF->libversion

The version number of libtiff that Imager::File::TIFF is running with. This should be the same as buildversion at build time, but an upgrade to libtiff may result in libversion changing without buildversion changing. 🔥
