Data was requested in a non-sequential order from a file that uses a compression algorithm and that has <i>RowsPerStrip</i> greater than one. That is, data in the image is stored in a compressed form, and with multiple rows packed into a strip. In this case, the library does not support random access to the data. The data should either be accessed sequentially, or the file should be converted so that each strip is made up of one row of data.</p> </td> </table> <a name="BUGS"></a> <h2>BUGS</h2> <!-- INDENTATION --> <table width="100%" border=0 rules="none" frame="void" cols="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr valign="top" align="left"> <td width="8%"></td> <td width="91%"> <p>Reading subsampled YCbCR data does not work correctly because, for <i>PlanarConfiguration</i>=2 the size of a scanline is not calculated on a per-sample basis, and for <i>PlanarConfiguration</i>=1 the library does not unpack the block-interleaved samples; use the strip- and tile-based interfaces to read these formats.</p> </td> </table> <a name="SEE ALSO"></a> <h2>SEE ALSO</h2> <!-- INDENTATION --> <table width="100%" border=0 rules="none" frame="void" cols="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr valign="top" align="left"> <td width="8%"></td> <td width="91%"> <p><b>TIFFOpen</b>(3TIFF), <b>TIFFReadEncodedStrip</b>(3TIFF), <b>TIFFReadRawStrip</b>(3TIFF), <b>libtiff</b>(3TIFF)</p> <!-- INDENTATION --> <p>Libtiff library home page: <b>http://www.remotesensing.org/libtiff/</b></p> </td> </table> <hr> </body> </html>
