.SH NAME
TIFFReadRGBAStrip \- read and decode an image strip into a fixed-format raster
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B "#include <tiffio.h>"
.sp
.B "#define TIFFGetR(abgr) ((abgr) & 0xff)"
.br
.B "#define TIFFGetG(abgr) (((abgr) >> 8) & 0xff)"

.B "#define TIFFGetA(abgr) (((abgr) >> 24) & 0xff)"
.sp
.BI "int TIFFReadRGBAStrip(TIFF *" tif ", uint32 " row ", uint32 *" raster ")"
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IR TIFFReadRGBAStrip
reads a single strip of a strip-based image into memory, storing the result in
the user supplied RGBA
.IR raster .
The raster is assumed to be an array of width times rowsperstrip 32-bit
entries, where width is the width of the image (TIFFTAG_IMAGEWIDTH) and
rowsperstrip is the maximum lines in a strip (TIFFTAG_ROWSPERSTRIP). 

.PP
The 
.IR row
value should be the row of the first row in the strip (strip * rowsperstrip,
zero based).

.PP
Note that the raster is assume to be organized such that the pixel at location
(\fIx\fP,\fIy\fP) is \fIraster\fP[\fIy\fP*\fIwidth\fP+\fIx\fP]; with the
raster origin in the 
.I lower-left hand corner
of the strip. That is bottom to top organization.  When reading a partial last
strip in the file the last line of the image will begin at the beginning of
the buffer.

.PP
Raster pixels are 8-bit packed red, green, blue, alpha samples. The macros
.IR TIFFGetR ,
.IR TIFFGetG ,
.IR TIFFGetB ,
and
.I TIFFGetA
should be used to access individual samples. Images without Associated Alpha
matting information have a constant Alpha of 1.0 (255).
.PP
See the 
.IR TIFFRGBAImage (3TIFF) 
page for more details on how various image types are converted to RGBA values.
.SH NOTES
Samples must be either 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 bits. Colorimetric samples/pixel must
be either 1, 3, or 4 (i.e.
.I SamplesPerPixel
minus
.IR ExtraSamples ).
.PP
Palette image colormaps that appear to be incorrectly written as 8-bit values
are automatically scaled to 16-bits.
.PP
.I TIFFReadRGBAStrip
is just a wrapper around the more general
.IR TIFFRGBAImage (3TIFF)
facilities.  It's main advantage over the similar 
.IR TIFFReadRGBAImage() 
function is that for large images a single buffer capable of holding the whole
image doesn't need to be allocated, only enough for one strip.  The 
.IR TIFFReadRGBATile() 
function does a similar operation for tiled images.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
1 is returned if the image was successfully read and converted.
Otherwise, 0 is returned if an error was encountered.
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
All error messages are directed to the
.IR TIFFError (3TIFF)
routine.
.PP
.BR "Sorry, can not handle %d-bit pictures" .
The image had
.I BitsPerSample
other than 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16.
.PP
.BR "Sorry, can not handle %d-channel images" .
The image had
.I SamplesPerPixel
other than 1, 3, or 4.
.PP
\fBMissing needed "PhotometricInterpretation" tag\fP.
The image did not have a tag that describes how to display the data.
.PP
\fBNo "PhotometricInterpretation" tag, assuming RGB\fP.
The image was missing a tag that describes how to display it, but because it
has 3 or 4 samples/pixel, it is assumed to be
.SM RGB.
.PP
\fBNo "PhotometricInterpretation" tag, assuming min-is-black\fP. The image was
missing a tag that describes how to display it, but because it has 1
sample/pixel, it is assumed to be a grayscale or bilevel image.
.PP
.BR "No space for photometric conversion table" .
There was insufficient memory for a table used to convert image samples to
8-bit
.SM RGB.
.PP
\fBMissing required "Colormap" tag\fP.
A Palette image did not have a required
.I Colormap
tag.
.PP
.BR "No space for tile buffer" .
There was insufficient memory to allocate an i/o buffer.
.PP
.BR "No space for strip buffer" .
There was insufficient memory to allocate an i/o buffer.
.PP
.BR "Can not handle format" .
The image has a format (combination of
.IR BitsPerSample ,
.IR SamplesPerPixel ,
and
.IR PhotometricInterpretation )
that
.I TIFFReadRGBAImage
can not handle.
.PP
.BR "No space for B&W mapping table" .
There was insufficient memory to allocate a table used to map grayscale data
to
.SM RGB.
.PP
.BR "No space for Palette mapping table" .
There was insufficient memory to allocate a table used to map data to 8-bit
.SM RGB.
