+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The routines described here provide a high-level interface
+through which
+.SM TIFF
+images may be read into memory.
+Images may be strip- or tile-based and have a variety of different
+characteristics: bits/sample, samples/pixel, photometric, etc.
+Decoding state is encapsulated in a
+.I TIFFRGBAImage
+structure making it possible to capture state for multiple images
+and quickly switch between them.
+The target raster format can be customized to a particular application's
+needs by installing custom routines that manipulate image data
+according to application requirements.
+.PP
+The default usage for these routines is: check if an image can
+be processed using
+.IR TIFFRGBAImageOK ,
+construct a decoder state block using
+.IR TIFFRGBAImageBegin ,
+read and decode an image into a target raster using
+.IR TIFFRGBAImageGet ,
+and then
+release resources using
+.IR TIFFRGBAImageEnd .
+.I TIFFRGBAImageGet
+can be called multiple times to decode an image using different
+state parameters.
+If multiple images are to be displayed and there is not enough
+space for each of the decoded rasters, multiple state blocks can
+be managed and then calls can be made to
+.I TIFFRGBAImageGet
+as needed to display an image.
+.PP
+The generated raster is assumed to be an array of
+.I width
+times
+.I height
+32-bit entries, where
+.I width
+must be less than or equal to the width of the image (\c
+.I height
+may be any non-zero size).
+If the raster dimensions are smaller than the image, the image data
+is cropped to the raster bounds.
+If the raster height is greater than that of the image, then the
+image data are placed in the lower part of the raster.
+(Note that the raster is assume to be organized such that the pixel
+at location (\fIx\fP,\fIy\fP) is \fIraster\fP[\fIy\fP*\fIwidth\fP+\fIx\fP];
+with the raster origin in the
+.B lower-left
+hand corner.)
+.PP
+Raster pixels are 8-bit packed red, green, blue, alpha samples.
+The macros
+.IR TIFFGetR ,
+.IR TIFFGetG ,
+.IR TIFFGetB ,
+and
+.I TIFFGetA
+should be used to access individual samples.
+Images without Associated Alpha matting information have a constant
+Alpha of 1.0 (255).
+.PP
+.I TIFFRGBAImageGet
+converts non-8-bit images by scaling sample values.
+Palette, grayscale, bilevel,
+.SM CMYK\c
+, and YCbCr images are converted to
+.SM RGB
+transparently.
+Raster pixels are returned uncorrected by any colorimetry information
+present in the directory.
+.PP
+The parameter
+.I stopOnError
+specifies how to act if an error is encountered while reading
+the image.
+If
+.I stopOnError
+is non-zero, then an error will terminate the operation; otherwise
+.I TIFFRGBAImageGet
+will continue processing data until all the possible data in the
+image have been requested.
+.SH "ALTERNATE RASTER FORMATS"
+To use the core support for reading and processing
+.SM TIFF
+images, but write the resulting raster data in a different format
+one need only override the ``\fIput methods\fP'' used to store raster data.
+These methods are are defined in the
+.I TIFFRGBAImage
+structure and initially setup by
+.I TIFFRGBAImageBegin
+to point to routines that pack raster data in the default
+.SM ABGR
+pixel format.
+Two different routines are used according to the physical organization
+of the image data in the file:
+.IR PlanarConfiguration =1
+(packed samples),
+and
+.IR PlanarConfiguration =2
+(separated samples).
+Note that this mechanism can be used to transform the data before
+storing it in the raster.
+For example one can convert data
+to colormap indices for display on a colormap display.
+.SH "SIMULTANEOUS RASTER STORE AND DISPLAY"
+It is simple to display an image as it is being read into memory
+by overriding the put methods as described above for supporting
+alternate raster formats.
+Simply keep a reference to the default put methods setup by
+.I TIFFRGBAImageBegin
+and then invoke them before or after each display operation.
+For example, the
+.IR tiffgt (1)
+utility uses the following put method to update the display as
+the raster is being filled:
+.sp
+.nf
+.ft C
+static void
+putContigAndDraw(TIFFRGBAImage* img, uint32* raster,
+ uint32 x, uint32 y, uint32 w, uint32 h,
+ int32 fromskew, int32 toskew,
+ unsigned char* cp)
+{
+ (*putContig)(img, raster, x, y, w, h, fromskew, toskew, cp);
+ if (x+w == width) {
+ w = width;
+ if (img->orientation == ORIENTATION_TOPLEFT)
+ lrectwrite(0, y-(h-1), w-1, y, raster-x-(h-1)*w);
+ else
+ lrectwrite(0, y, w-1, y+h-1, raster);
+ }
+}
+.ft R
+.fi
+.sp
+(the original routine provided by the library is saved in the
+variable
+.IR putContig .)
+.SH "SUPPORTING ADDITIONAL TIFF FORMATS"
+The
+.I TIFFRGBAImage
+routines support the most commonly encountered flavors of
+.SM TIFF.
+It is possible to extend this support by overriding the ``\fIget method\fP''
+invoked by
+.I TIFFRGBAImageGet
+to read
+.SM TIFF
+image data.
+Details of doing this are a bit involved, it is best to make a copy
+of an existing get method and modify it to suit the needs of an
+application.
+.SH NOTES
+Samples must be either 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 bits.
+Colorimetric samples/pixel must be either 1, 3, or 4 (i.e.
+.I SamplesPerPixel
+minus
+.IR ExtraSamples ).
+.PP
+Palette image colormaps that appear to be incorrectly written
+as 8-bit values are automatically scaled to 16-bits.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+All routines return
+1 if the operation was successful.
+Otherwise, 0 is returned if an error was encountered and
+.I stopOnError
+is zero.
+.SH DIAGNOSTICS
+All error messages are directed to the
+.IR TIFFError (3TIFF)
+routine.
