NAME

PDF::Builder::Resource::XObject::Image::TIFF - TIFF image support

Inherits from PDF::Builder::Resource::XObject::Image

METHODS

new

            

              
              
$res = PDF::Builder::Resource::XObject::Image::TIFF->new($pdf, $file, %opts)
            
          

Returns a TIFF-image object.

If the Graphics::TIFF package is installed, the TIFF_GT library will be used instead of the TIFF library. In such a case, use of the TIFF library may be forced via the nouseGT flag (see Builder documentation for image_tiff()).

Options:

'name' => 'string'

This is the name you can give for the TIFF image object. The default is Ixnnnn.

Remember that you need to use the Builder.pm method image_tiff in order to display a TIFF file.

usesLib

            

              
              
$mode = $tif->usesLib()
            
          

Returns 1 if Graphics::TIFF installed and used, 0 if not installed, or -1 if installed but not used (nouseGT option given to image_tiff).

Caution: this method can only be used after the image object has been created. It can't tell you whether Graphics::TIFF is available in advance of actually using it, in case you want to use some functionality available only in TIFF_GT. See the <PDF::Builder> LA_GT() call if you need to know in advance.

tiffTag

            

              
              
$value = $tif->tiffTag($tag)
            
          

returns the value of the internal tiff-tag.
