✨ TIFFWRITERAWTILE ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the <tiffio.h> cinematic universe 💅 this is the TIFFWriteRawTile(3tiff) page from the LibTIFF manual, and we're gonna get you writing raw tiles like it's nothing. no cap. 🎀

🦋 NAME 🦋

TIFFWriteRawTile — write a tile of raw data to an open TIFF file 🌸

---

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

#include <tiffio.h>

tmsize_t TIFFWriteRawTile(TIFF *tif, uint32_t tile, void *buf, tmsize_t size)

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so like. you take your size bytes of raw data and you append them to the tile you picked. that's it, that's the whole vibe. lowkey iconic 🫶

---

⭐ RETURN VALUES ⭐

• -1 gets returned if something went wrong 😭 (an error happened, bestie).
• otherwise? you get the value of size back. slay. ✨

---

🔥 DIAGNOSTICS 🔥

every single error message gets sent straight to the TIFFErrorExtR() routine. periodt.

• %s: File not open for writing: — the file was opened for reading, not writing. not me opening the wrong mode 😭
• Can not write tiles to a stripped image: — the image is assumed to be organized in strips, because neither of the TileWidth or TileLength tags have been set with TIFFSetField(). 👑
• %s: Must set "ImageWidth" before writing data: — the image's width has not been set before the first write. see TIFFSetField() for info on how to do that. 🧚
• %s: Must set "PlanarConfiguration" before writing data: — the organization of data has not been defined before the first write. see TIFFSetField() for info on how to do that. 💜
• %s: No space for tile arrays: — there was not enough space for the arrays that hold tile offsets and byte counts. 💀
• %s: Specified tile %d out of range, max %d: — the tile you specified is not valid according to the currently specified image dimensions. 🙈

fr fr, read these before you start screaming at your code. the error messages are literally telling you what's missing. 🍓
