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

SYNOPSIS
       #include <tiffio.h>

       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 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 tile arrays".  There was not enough space for the
       arrays that hold tile offsets and byte counts.
