NAME
       TIFFWriteTile - encode and write a tile of data to an open TIFF file

SYNOPSIS
       #include <tiffio.h>

       tsize_t	TIFFWriteTile(TIFF  *tif,  tdata_t  buf,  uint32  x, uint32 y,
       uint32 z, tsample_t sample)

DESCRIPTION
       Write the data for the tile containing the specified  coordinates.  The
       data  in  buf are is (potentially) compressed, and written to the indi-
       cated 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 TIFFTileSize to find out the size (in bytes) of a tile  buffer.
       The x and y parameters are always used by TIFFWriteTile.  The z parame-
       ter is used if the image is deeper than 1  slice  (ImageDepth>1).   The
       sample  parameter is used only if data are organized in separate planes
       (PlanarConfiguration=2).

RETURN VALUES
       TIFFWriteTile returns -1 if it detects an error; otherwise  the	number
       of bytes in the tile is returned.

DIAGNOSTICS
       All error messages are directed to the TIFFError(3TIFF) routine.
