# TIFFWriteRawStrip(3t)

write a strip of raw data to an open TIFF file

## NAME

TIFFWriteRawStrip - write a strip of raw data to an open TIFF file

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<tiffio.h\>**\
 **tsize\_t TIFFWriteRawStrip(TIFF\* tif, tstrip\_t strip, tdata\_t buf, tsize\_t size)**

## DESCRIPTION

Append *size* bytes of raw data to the specified strip.

## NOTES

The strip number must be valid according to the current settings of the *ImageLength* and *RowsPerStrip* tags. An image may be dynamically grown by increasing the value of *ImageLength* prior to each call to *TIFFWriteRawStrip*.

## RETURN VALUES

\-1 is returned if an error occurred. Otherwise, the value of *size* is returned.

## DIAGNOSTICS

All error messages are directed to the *TIFFError*(3T) routine.

**%s: File not open for writing**. The file was opened for reading, not writing.

**Can not write scanlines to a tiled image**. The image is assumed to be organized in tiles because the *TileWidth* and *TileLength* tags have been set with *TIFFSetField*(3T).

**%s: Must set "ImageWidth" before writing data**. The image's width has not be set before the first write. See *TIFFSetField*(3T) 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*(3T) for information on how to do this.

**%s: No space for strip arrays"**. There was not enough space for the arrays that hold strip offsets and byte counts.

**%s: Strip %d out of range, max %d**. The specified strip is not a valid strip according to the currently specified image dimensions.
