NAME
       TIFFWritedEncodedTile  - compress and write a tile of data
       to an open TIFF file

SYNOPSIS
       #include 

       tsize_t  TIFFWriteEncodedTile(TIFF  *tif,  ttile_t   tile,
       tdata_t buf, tsize_t size)

DESCRIPTION
       Compress  size  bytes  of raw data from buf and append the
       result to the end of the specified  tile.  Note  that  the
       value  of  tile  is  a  ``raw  tile number.'' That is, the
       caller must take into account whether or not the data  are
       organized   in  separate  places  (PlanarConfiguration=2).
       TIFFComputeTile automatically does this when converting an
       (x,y,z,sample) coordinate quadruple to a tile number.

NOTES
       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.

RETURN VALUES
       -1 is returned if an error was encountered. Otherwise, the
       value of size is returned.

DIAGNOSTICS
       All  error  messages  are directed to the TIFFError(3TIFF)
       routine.

       %s: File not open for writing.  The file  was  opened  for
       reading, not writing.

       Can  not  write  tiles  to a stripped image.  The image is
       assumed to be organized in strips because neither  of  the
       TileWidth  or  TileLength tags have been set with TIFFSet-
       Field(3TIFF).

       %s: Must set "ImageWidth" before writing data. The image's
       width  has not be set before the first write. See TIFFSet-
       Field(3TIFF) for information on how to do this.

       %s: Must set "PlanarConfiguration"  before  writing  data.
       The  organization  of  data  has not be defined before the
       first write. See TIFFSetField(3TIFF)  for  information  on
       how to do this.

       %s: No space for tile arrays".  There was not enough space
       for the arrays that hold tile offsets and byte counts.
