Prototype Put the following prototype in the prototypes section of the application program header file: void* ( __stdcall *pfnFFTiffMServices )( int, int, int, int, int ); Purpose Create a multi image TIFF file. All the images in the file must be compressed with the standard CCITT group IV-2d coding scheme. This function does not read a multi image TIFF file. This function has been developed for the unique purpose of creating multipage documents to be sent as e-mail attachments over the Internet. The example below illustrates how to convert several single image TIFF files into one multi image TIFF file. Description and use This function offers four services numbered from 1 to 4. The services are: service 1 - create an empty new multi image TIFF file service 2 - start writing an image service 3 - stop writing an image service 4 - close the newly created multi image TIFF file Use the image comment feature to store the image description (and/or the database keys) together with each image in the file. This is a very good way for developing robust applications. When creating a file please call service 1, then call services 2 and 3 as many times as required, and finally call service 4 to terminate the process. Specification This function is compliant with the TIFF specification rev. 6.0 - group B for black&white (bilevel) images. Tags used: NewSubfileType, ImageWidth, ImageLength, BitPerSample, Compression, PhotometricInterpretation, FillOrder, ImageDescription, StripsOffsets, SamplesPerPixel, RowsPerStrip, StripsByteCounts, XResolution, YResolution, T6Options, ResolutionUnit, Software, DateTime, NextIFD, HorzResolution, VertResolution. The image comment is stored in the ImageDescription tag. Parameters The meaning of the parameters varies according to the requested service: first parameter: number of the requested service (from 1 to 4) second parameter: service 1: pointer to the ASCIIZ file name of the TIFF file to be created, complete with path and extension service 2: NULL service 3: pointer to the ASCIIZ image comment string service 4: NULL third parameter: service 1: NULL service 2: NULL service 3: image width in pixels/8 service 4: NULL fourth parameter: service 1: NULL service 2: NULL service 3: image length in lines service 4: NULL fifth parameter: service 1: NULL service 2: NULL service 3: the value returned from the last call to service 2 service 4: NULL Return value The return value depends on the service that has been requested: service 1: true=file created; false=file not created service 2: a value to pass as 5th parameter to the next service 3 call service 3: (nothing) service 4: the length of the just closed file, useful to the mail program to know the number of bytes of the attachment Application example create a multi page TIFF file from several single page TIFF files: this example has been taken from a program that creates an attachment to an e-mail message (see also my article about SMTP) See also FFTiffServices: single image TIFF file management FFDec: CCITT group 4 bidimensional decompression FFComp: CCITT group 4 bidimensional compression Notes
