NAME
Graphics::TIFF - Perl extension for the libtiff library
VERSION
20
SYNOPSIS
Perl bindings for the libtiff library. This module allows you to access
TIFF images in a Perlish and object-oriented way, freeing you from the
casting and memory management in C, yet remaining very close in spirit
to original API.
The following snippet can be used to read the image data from a TIFF:
use Graphics::TIFF ':all';
my $tif = Graphics::TIFF->Open( 'test.tif', 'r' );
my $stripsize = $tif->StripSize;
for my $stripnum ( 0 .. $tif->NumberOfStrips - 1 ) {
my $buffer = $tif->ReadEncodedStrip( $stripnum, $stripsize );
# do something with $buffer
}
$tif->Close;
DESCRIPTION
The Graphics::TIFF module allows a Perl developer to access TIFF
images. Find out more about libtiff at http://www.libtiff.org.
DIAGNOSTICS
CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT
DEPENDENCIES
Runtime
The runtime dependencies are just libtiff itself. In Windows this is
satisfied by Alien::libtiff.
Build
The build dependencies are additionally the development headers for
libtiff and Perl.
Test
In addition to the above, the Perl module Image::Magick is required to
run some of the tests.
INCOMPATIBILITIES
BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
SEE ALSO
The LIBTIFF Standard Reference http://www.libtiff.org/libtiff.html is a
handy companion. The Perl bindings follow the C API very closely, and
the C reference documentation should be considered the canonical
source.
