Creating a TIFF file on-run....

[mikoil]

Hi! :)
Does anyone know how to make a TIFF file on-run? Say I want to create a new 200x100Pixels image with the word "Hello" on it (black & white image)... How can I do this? How does it work if I want compression? All those questions -> TIFF image format ! ;)


Thank you all :wave:

You can use libtiff (http://www.libtiff.org/) or a third party image library.

You can also use the Image Class (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/gdicpp/GDIPlus/GDIPlusReference/Classes/Image.asp) of GDI+.

I think TIFF image format is uncompressed. I suggest .png for lossless compression and jpeg otherwise.

Tiff format can also be compressed, there are couple compression for tiff such as ZIP/LZW etc. :wave:

philkr - open a BMP file with ACDSEE. Then save it as TIFF and see "Options" :)
Well, the point in my issue is not that I chose TIFF just coz I'd like to - it's because I'm trying to send an image through fax, search few of my last posts to see what I'm talking about, if you look closely you'll see that I'm having a little research here :) :)

This is really nice text you posted, I wonder how come I didn't find it before - and I DID some searching :)
