.SH "NAME"
TIFFReadScanline \- read and decode a scanline of data from an open TIFF file
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
.nf
\f(CW#include <tiffio\&.h>
int TIFFReadScanline(TIFF* tif, tdata_t buf, uint32 row,
tsample_t sample)\fR
.fi
.sp
.SH ""
.PP
Read the data for the specified row into the user-supplied data buffer\&.
.SH "EXTENDED DESCRIPTION"
.PP
The data is returned decompressed and in the native byte- and bit-ordering,
but is otherwise packed as described below\&. The buffer must be large enough
to hold an entire scanline of data\&. Applications should call the routine \fBTIFFScanlineSize\fR to find out the size in bytes of a scanline buffer\&.
The \fBrow\fR parameter is always used by \fBTIFFReadScanline\fR\&. The \fBsample\fR parameter is used only if data is
organized in separate planes (PlanarConfiguration=2)\&.
.PP
The library attempts to hide bit- and byte-ordering differences between
the image and the native machine by converting data to the native machine
order\&. Bit reversal is performed if the \fBFillOrder\fR tag is
opposite to the native machine bit order\&. 16- and 32-bit samples are automatically
byte-swapped if the file was written with a byte order opposite to the native
machine byte order\&.
.SS "Diagnostics"
.PP
All error messages are directed to the \fBTIFFError(3tiff)\fR
routine\&.

.mk
\fBCompression algorithm does not support random access\&.\fR
.in +24n
.rt
Data was requested in a non-sequential order from a
file that uses a compression algorithm and that has \fBRowsPerStrip\fR 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\&.

Reading subsampled YCbCR data does not work correctly because:

For PlanarConfiguration=1, the library does not unpack the
block-interleaved samples\&.
