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, uint32 y,
       uint32 z, tsample_t sample)

DESCRIPTION
       Write the data for the tile containing the specified coordinates. 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 TIFFWriteTile.  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 (PlanarConfiguration=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) routine.
