NAME

     TIFFWriteTile - encode and write a tile of data to  an  open
     TIFF file

SYNOPSIS

     #include <tiffio.h>

     tsize_t TIFFWriteTile(TIFF *tif, tdata_t buf, uint32 x

DESCRIPTION

     Write the data for the tile containing the specified coordi-
     nates.  The data in buf are is (potentially) compressed, and
     written to the indicated file, normally  being  appended  to
     the  end  of  the file. The buffer must be contain 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  TIFFWri-
     teTile.  The z parameter is used if the image is deeper than
     1 slice (ImageDepth>1).  The sample parameter is  used  only
     if  data  are organized in separate planes (PlanarConfigura-
     tion=2).

RETURN VALUES

     TIFFWriteTile returns -1 if it detects an  error;  otherwise
     the number of bytes in the tile is returned.

DIAGNOSTICS

     All error messages are directed to the TIFFError(3TIFF) rou-
     tine.
