=head1 NAME
Graphics::TIFF - Perl extension for the libtiff library
=head1 VERSION
21
=head1 SYNOPSIS
Perl bindings for the libtiff library.
This module allows you to access TIFF images in a Perlish and
object-oriented way, freeing you from the casting and memory management in C,
yet remaining very close in spirit to original API.
The following snippet can be used to read the image data from a TIFF:
use Graphics::TIFF ':all';
my $tif = Graphics::TIFF->Open( 'test.tif', 'r' );
my $stripsize = $tif->StripSize;
for my $stripnum ( 0 .. $tif->NumberOfStrips - 1 ) {
my $buffer = $tif->ReadEncodedStrip( $stripnum, $stripsize );
# do something with $buffer
}
$tif->Close;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The Graphics::TIFF module allows a Perl developer to access TIFF images.
Find out more about libtiff at L<http://www.libtiff.org>.
=for readme stop
=head1 SUBROUTINES/METHODS
=head2 Graphics::TIFF->get_version
Returns an array with the LIBTIFF_VERSION_(MAJOR|MINOR|MICRO) versions:
join('.',Graphics::TIFF->get_version)
=head2 Graphics::TIFF->get_version_scalar
Returns an scalar with the LIBTIFF_VERSION_(MAJOR|MINOR|MICRO) versions combined
as per the Perl version numbering, i.e. libtiff 4.0.6 gives 4.000006. This allows
simple version comparisons.
=head2 Graphics::TIFF->GetVersion
Returns a string with the format "LIBTIFF, Version MAJOR.MINOR.MICRO"
=head2 Graphics::TIFF->IsCODECConfigured(compression)
Returns a boolean if libtiff was configured with the given compression method.
See the possible values for the TIFFTAG_COMPRESSION tag for valid compression
methods.
=head2 Graphics::TIFF->Open(filename, flags)
Returns a TIFF object. 'r' and 'w' are valid flags.
=head2 $tif->Close
Closes the tiff given TIFF object.
=head2 $tif->FileName
Returns the filename associated with the given TIFF object.
=head2 $tif->ReadDirectory
Read the next directory in the specified file and make it the current directory.
Applications only need to call ReadDirectory to read multiple subfiles in a
single TIFF file - the first directory in a file is automatically read when
Open is called.
=head3 Notes
If the library is compiled with STRIPCHOP_SUPPORT enabled, then images that have
a single uncompressed strip or tile of data are automatically treated as if they
were made up of multiple strips or tiles of approximately 8 kilobytes each. This
operation is done only in-memory; it does not alter the contents of the file.
However, the construction of the ''chopped strips'' is visible to the
application through the number of strips [tiles] returned by NumberOfStrips
[NumberOfTiles].
=head3 Return Values
If the next directory was successfully read, 1 is returned. Otherwise, 0 is
returned if an error was encountered, or if there are no more directories to be
read.
=head2 $tif->WriteDirectory
WriteDirectory will write the contents of the current directory to the file and
setup to create a new subfile in the same file. Applications only need to call
WriteDirectory when writing multiple subfiles to a single TIFF file.
WriteDirectory is automatically called by Close and Flush to write a
modified directory if the file is open for writing.
The RewriteDirectory function operates similarly to WriteDirectory, but can be
called with directories previously read or written that already have an
established location in the file. It will rewrite the directory, but instead of
place it at it's old location (as TIFFWriteDirectory would) it will place them
at the end of the file, correcting the pointer from the preceding directory or
file header to point to it's new location. This is particularly important in
cases where the size of the directory and pointed to data has grown, so it won't
fit in the space available at the old location.
The CheckpointDirectory writes the current state of the tiff directory into the
file to make what is currently in the file readable. Unlike WriteDirectory,
CheckpointDirectory does not free up the directory data structures in memory, so
they can be updated (as strips/tiles are written) and written again. Reading
such a partial file you will at worst get a tiff read error for the first
strip/tile encountered that is incomplete, but you will at least get all the
valid data in the file before that. When the file is complete, just use
WriteDirectory as usual to finish it off cleanly.
=head3 Return Values
1 is returned when the contents are successfully written to the file. Otherwise,
0 is returned if an error was encountered when writing the directory contents.
=head2 $tif->ReadEXIFDirectory(diroff)
Required before reading EXIF tags.
=head2 $tif->NumberOfDirectories
Returns the number of directory in the given TIFF object.
=head2 $tif->SetDirectory(dirnum)
Changes the current directory and reads its contents with
ReadDirectory. The parameter dirnum specifies the subfile/directory as an
integer number, with the first directory numbered zero.
=head3 Return Values
On successful return 1 is returned. Otherwise, 0 is returned if dirnum or diroff
specifies a non-existent directory, or if an error was encountered while reading
the directory's contents.
=head2 $tif->SetSubDirectory(diroff)
Acts like SetDirectory, except the directory is specified as a
file offset instead of an index; this is required for accessing subdirectories
linked through a SubIFD tag.
=head2 $tif->GetField(tag)
Returns the value of a tag or pseudo-tag associated with the the
current directory of the open TIFF file tif. (A pseudo-tag is a parameter that
is used to control the operation of the TIFF library but whose value is not read
or written to the underlying file.) The file must have been previously opened
with Open. The type and number of values returned is dependent on the tag being
requested.
The tags understood by libtiff are shown below. Consult the TIFF specification
for information on the meaning of each tag and their possible values.

=head2 $tif->GetFieldDefaulted(tag)
Identical to GetField, except that if a tag is not defined
in the current directory and it has a default value, then the default value is
returned.
=head2 $tif->SetField(tag, ...)
Sets the value of a field or pseudo-tag in the current directory
associated with the open TIFF file tif. Set GetField for Possible values for#
tag.
=head2 $tif->IsTiled
Returns a non-zero value if the image data has a tiled organisation.
Zero is returned if the image data is organised in strips.
=head2 $tif->ScanlineSize
Returns the size in bytes of a row of data as it would be returned
in a call to ReadScanline, or as it would be expected in a call to
WriteScanline.
=head2 $tif->StripSize
Returns the equivalent size for a strip of data as it would be
returned in a call to ReadEncodedStrip or as it would be expected in a call to
WriteEncodedStrip.
=head2 $tif->NumberOfStrips
Returns the number of strips in the image.
=head2 $tif->TileSize
Returns the equivalent size for a tile of data as it would be returned
in a call to ReadTile or as it would be expected in a call to WriteTile.
=head2 $tif->TileRowSize
Returns the number of bytes of a row of data in a tile.
=head2 $tif->ComputeStrip(row, sample)
Returns the strip that contains the specified coordinates. A valid strip is
always returned; out-of-range coordinate values are clamped to the bounds of the
image. The row parameter is always used in calculating a strip. The sample
parameter is used only if data are organised in separate planes
(PlanarConfiguration=2).
=head2 $tif->ReadEncodedStrip(strip, size)
Returns a buffer of up to size bytes of decompressed information.
The value of strip is a ``raw strip number.'' That is, the caller must take into
account whether or not the data are organised 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 StripSize.
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.
=head2 $tif->WriteEncodedStrip(strip, data, size)
Compress size bytes of raw data from buf and write the result to the specified
strip; replacing any previously written data. Note that the value of strip is a
``raw strip number.'' That is, the caller must take into account whether or not
the data are organised in separate places (PlanarConfiguration=2).
The library writes encoded data using the native machine byte order. Correctly
implemented TIFF readers are expected to do any necessary byte-swapping to
correctly process image data with BitsPerSample greater than 8.
The strip number must be valid according to the current settings of the
ImageLength and RowsPerStrip tags. An image may be dynamically grown by
increasing the value of ImageLength prior to each call to TIFFWriteEncodedStrip.
-1 is returned if an error was encountered. Otherwise, the value of size is
returned.
=head2 $tif->ReadRawStrip(strip, size)
Returns the contents of the specified strip. Note that the value of strip is a
''raw strip number.'' That is, the caller must take into account whether or not
the data is organised 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 StripSize.
=head2 $tif->ReadTile(x, y, z, s)
Returns the data for the tile containing the specified coordinates. The data is
returned decompressed and, typically, in the native byte- and bit-ordering, but
are otherwise packed (see further below). The buffer must be large enough to
hold an entire tile of data. Applications should call the routine TIFFTileSize
to find out the size (in bytes) of a tile buffer. The x and y parameters are
always used by ReadTile. The z parameter is used if the image is deeper than 1
slice (ImageDepth>1). The sample parameter is used only if data are organised in
separate planes (PlanarConfiguration=2).
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.
=head2 $tif->CurrentDirectory()
Return an index number of the current directory in the specified TIFF file.
=head2 $tif->PrintDirectory(file, flags)
Prints a description of the current directory in the specified TIFF file to the
standard I/O output stream fd. The flags parameter is used to control the level
of detail of the printed information, and is a bitwise or of the following
values:
TIFFPRINT_NONE
TIFFPRINT_STRIPS
TIFFPRINT_CURVES
TIFFPRINT_COLORMAP
TIFFPRINT_JPEGQTABLES
TIFFPRINT_JPEGACTABLES
TIFFPRINT_JPEGDCTABLES
=head2 Graphics::TIFF::ReverseBits(data, size)
Replaces each byte in data with the equivalent bit-reversed value. This
operation is done with a lookup table.

=head1 DIAGNOSTICS
=head1 CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT
=head1 DEPENDENCIES
=head2 Runtime
The runtime dependencies are just libtiff itself. In Windows this is satisfied
by Alien::libtiff.
=head2 Build
The build dependencies are additionally the development headers for libtiff
and Perl.
=head2 Test
In addition to the above, the Perl module Image::Magick is required to run some
of the tests.
=head1 INCOMPATIBILITIES
=head1 BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
=head1 SEE ALSO
The LIBTIFF Standard Reference L<http://www.libtiff.org/libtiff.html> is a handy
companion. The Perl bindings follow the C API very closely, and the C reference
documentation should be considered the canonical source.
