About

TIFF is a Java library for reading and writing Tagged Image File Format files. It was primarily created to provide license friendly TIFF functionality to Android applications. Implementation is based on the TIFF specification and this JavaScript implementation: https://github.com/constantinius/geotiff.js

Usage

Read

//File input = ...
//InputStream input = ...
//byte[] input = ...
//ByteReader input = ...

TIFFImage tiffImage = TiffReader.readTiff(input);
List<FileDirectory> directories = tiffImage.getFileDirectories();
FileDirectory directory = directories.get(0);
Rasters rasters = directory.readRasters();

Write

int width = 256;
int height = 256;
int samplesPerPixel = 1;
FieldType fieldType = FieldType.FLOAT;
int bitsPerSample = fieldType.getBits();

Rasters rasters = new Rasters(width, height, samplesPerPixel,
		fieldType);

int rowsPerStrip = rasters.calculateRowsPerStrip(
		TiffConstants.PLANAR_CONFIGURATION_CHUNKY);

FileDirectory directory = new FileDirectory();
directory.setImageWidth(width);
directory.setImageHeight(height);
directory.setBitsPerSample(bitsPerSample);
directory.setCompression(TiffConstants.COMPRESSION_NO);
directory.setPhotometricInterpretation(
		TiffConstants.PHOTOMETRIC_INTERPRETATION_BLACK_IS_ZERO);
directory.setSamplesPerPixel(samplesPerPixel);
directory.setRowsPerStrip(rowsPerStrip);
directory.setPlanarConfiguration(
		TiffConstants.PLANAR_CONFIGURATION_CHUNKY);
directory.setSampleFormat(TiffConstants.SAMPLE_FORMAT_FLOAT);
directory.setWriteRasters(rasters);

for (int y = 0; y < height; y++) {
	for (int x = 0; x < width; x++) {
		float pixelValue = 1.0f; // any pixel value
		rasters.setFirstPixelSample(x, y, pixelValue);
	}
}

TIFFImage tiffImage = new TIFFImage();
tiffImage.add(directory);
byte[] bytes = TiffWriter.writeTiffToBytes(tiffImage);
// or
// File file = ...
// TiffWriter.writeTiff(file, tiffImage);
