strip-related utility routines

## NAME

#include <tiffio.h>
```

  - **uint64\_t TIFFVStripSize64(TIFF \*tif, uint32\_t nrows)**

  - **tmsize\_t TIFFRawStripSize(TIFF \*tif, uint32\_t strip)**

  - **uint64\_t TIFFRawStripSize64(TIFF \*tif, uint32\_t strip)**

  - **tstrip\_t TIFFComputeStrip(TIFF \*tif, uint32\_t row, tsample\_t sample)**

  - **int TIFFSetupStrips(TIFF \*tif)**

  ## DESCRIPTION

*TIFFDefaultStripSize()* returns the number of rows for a reasonable-sized strip according to the current settings of the **ImageWidth**, **BitsPerSample** and **SamplesPerPixel**, tags and any compression-specific requirements. If the *estimate* parameter, sf non-zero, then it is taken as an estimate of the desired strip size and adjusted according to any compression-specific requirements. The value returned by this function is typically used to define the **RowsPerStrip** tag. In lieu of any unusual requirements **TIFFDefaultStripSize** tries to create strips that have approximately 8 kilobytes of uncompressed data.

*TIFFStripSize()* returns the equivalent size for a strip of data as it would be returned in a call to *TIFFReadEncodedStrip()* or as it would be expected in a call to *TIFFWriteEncodedStrip()*. If an error occurs, 0 is returned.

*TIFFStripSize64()* returns the equivalent size for a strip of data as **uint64\_t**. If an error occurs, 0 is returned.

*TIFFVStripSize()* returns the number of bytes in a strip with *nrows* rows of data. If an error occurs, 0 is returned.

*TIFFVStripSize64()* returns the number of bytes in a strip with *nrows* rows of data as **uint64\_t**. If an error occurs, 0 is returned.

*TIFFRawStripSize()* returns the number of bytes in a raw strip (i.e. not decoded). If an error occurs, 0xFFFFFFFF *(=(tmsize\_t(-1))* is returned.

*TIFFRawStripSize64()* returns the number of bytes in a raw strip as **uint64\_t**. If an error occurs, 0xFFFFFFFF *(=(uint64\_t(-1))* is returned.

*TIFFComputeStrip()* returns the strip that contains the specified coordinates. A valid strip is always returned; out-of-range coordinate values are clamped to the bounds of the image. The *row* parameter is always used in calculating a strip. The *sample* parameter is used only if data are organized in separate planes (**PlanarConfiguration** = 2).

*TIFFNumberOfStrips()* returns the number of strips in the image.

*TIFFSetupStrips()* setup  or reset strip parameters and strip array memory.

## DIAGNOSTICS

None.
