NAME
       TIFFWritedEncodedStrip - compress and write a strip of data to an open
       TIFF file

SYNOPSIS
       #include <tiffio.h>

       tsize_t TIFFWriteEncodedStrip(TIFF *tif, tstrip_t strip, tdata_t buf,
       tsize_t size)

DESCRIPTION
       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 organized in separate planes
       (PlanarConfiguration=2).

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.

       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.

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 scanlines to a tiled image. The image is assumed to be
       organized in tiles because the TileWidth and TileLength tags have been
       set with TIFFSetField(3TIFF).

       %s: Must set "ImageWidth" before writing data.  The image's width has
       not be set before the first write. See TIFFSetField(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 strip arrays".  There was not enough space for the
       arrays that hold strip offsets and byte counts.
