-Subject: tiff stream interface (contrib)

-Here at Shutterfly we have augmented the file based tiff library to support
-C++ streams. The implementation is an adaptor class, which takes any C++
-stream from the user and in return it deposits i/o operation method pointers
-(e.g. read, write, seek and close) into the tiff's library client state.
-
-The class TiffStream has an overloaded factory method - makeFileStream -
-which takes the C++ stream as an argument, calls TIFFClientOpen and returns
-a tiff handle. The class retains the tiff handle in its local state and
-provides a helper function (getTiffHandle) to query the handle at any time.
-Additional helper method - getStreamSize - provides the stream size to the
-user. The implementation assumes client responsibility to delete the stream
-object. The class calls TIFFClose at destruction time.
-
-Attached are a definition (tiffstream.h) and an implementation
-(tiffstream.cpp) files of the TiffStream class. No changes are required to
-the tiff core piece and the class sits on top of the library. The code is
-fairly tested at this point and is used internally in Shutterfly imaging
-software. The code is portable across WindowsNT/Linux/Solaris.
-
-We at Shutterfly believe this software has benefits to the larger community
-of tiff library users and would like to contribute this software to be part
-of the tiff distributed package. Let me know of any issue.
-
-Thanks
