<h2>DESCRIPTION
<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Write the data
for the tile <i>containing</i> the specified coordinates.
The data in <i>buf</i> are is (potentially) compressed, and
written to the indicated file, normally being appended to
the end of the file. The buffer must be contain an entire
tile of data. Applications should call the routine
<i>TIFFTileSize</i> to find out the size (in bytes) of a
tile buffer. The <i>x</i> and <i>y</i> parameters are always
used by <i>TIFFWriteTile</i>. The <i>z</i> parameter is used
if the image is deeper than 1 slice
(<i>ImageDepth</i>>1). The <i>sample</i> parameter is
used only if data are organized in separate planes
(<i>PlanarConfiguration</i>=2).</p>
<h2>RETURN VALUES
<a name="RETURN VALUES"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><i>TIFFWriteTile</i>
returns −1 if it detects an error; otherwise the
number of bytes in the tile is returned.</p>
<h2>DIAGNOSTICS
<a name="DIAGNOSTICS"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">All error
messages are directed to the <b>TIFFError</b>(3TIFF)
routine.</p>
