Creators
 TiffImage (BasicIo::UniquePtr io, bool create)
 Constructor that can either open an existing TIFF image or create a new image from scratch. If a new image is to be created, any existing data is overwritten. Since the constructor can not return a result, callers should check the good() method after object construction to determine success or failure. More...
 
Manipulators
void readMetadata () override
 Read all metadata supported by a specific image format from the image. Before this method is called, the image metadata will be cleared. More...

Detailed Description

Class to access TIFF images. Exif metadata is supported directly, IPTC is read from the Exif data, if present.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ TiffImage()

Exiv2::TiffImage::TiffImage ( BasicIo::UniquePtr  io,
bool  create 
)

Constructor that can either open an existing TIFF image or create a new image from scratch. If a new image is to be created, any existing data is overwritten. Since the constructor can not return a result, callers should check the good() method after object construction to determine success or failure.

Parameters
ioAn auto-pointer that owns a BasicIo instance used for reading and writing image metadata. Important: The constructor takes ownership of the passed in BasicIo instance through the auto-pointer. Callers should not continue to use the BasicIo instance after it is passed to this method. Use the Image::io() method to get a temporary reference.
createSpecifies if an existing image should be read (false) or if a new file should be created (true).

Member Function Documentation

◆ mimeType()

std::string Exiv2::TiffImage::mimeType ( ) const
overridevirtual

Return the MIME type of the image.

Note
For each supported image format, the library knows only one MIME type. This may not be the most specific MIME type for that format. In particular, several RAW formats are variants of the TIFF format with the same magic as TIFF itself. Class TiffImage handles most of them and thus they all have MIME type "image/tiff", although a more specific MIME type may exist (e.g., "image/x-nikon-nef").

Implements Exiv2::Image.

◆ printStructure()

void Exiv2::TiffImage::printStructure ( std::ostream &  out,
PrintStructureOption  option,
size_t  depth 
)
overridevirtual

Print out the structure of image file.

Exceptions
Errorif reading of the file fails or the image data is not valid (does not look like data of the specific image type).
Warning
This function is not thread safe and intended for exiv2 -p{S|R} as a file debugging aid

Reimplemented from Exiv2::Image.

◆ readMetadata()

void Exiv2::TiffImage::readMetadata ( )
overridevirtual

Read all metadata supported by a specific image format from the image. Before this method is called, the image metadata will be cleared.

This method returns success even if no metadata is found in the image. Callers must therefore check the size of individual metadata types before accessing the data.

Exceptions
Errorif opening or reading of the file fails or the image data is not valid (does not look like data of the specific image type).

Implements Exiv2::Image.

◆ writeMetadata()

void Exiv2::TiffImage::writeMetadata ( )
overridevirtual

Write metadata back to the image.

All existing metadata sections in the image are either created, replaced, or erased. If values for a given metadata type have been assigned, a section for that metadata type will either be created or replaced. If no values have been assigned to a given metadata type, any exists section for that metadata type will be removed from the image.

Exceptions
Errorif the operation fails
