I am new to LibTIFF. I want to get the ResolutionUnit, XResolution, and YResolution from a TIFF file. I have no problem getting the Resolution unit. (Although I did see a strange behavior. If I had not initialized the variable that receives the ResolutionUnit value before calling TIFFGetField, I did not get back the value. If I initialize the variable to 0, I get back the correct unit.)
That is strange. If the file lacks ResolutionUnit tag the variable remains unchanged. In that case you can get a garbage in the variable if it was not properly initialized. I'm recommend using TIFFGetFieldDefaulted() for tags for which default value defined by specification. I'm recommend always initialize variables with a reasonable value.
I am having no luck with the X & Y Resolutions. I suspect that I don't know what kind of variable to receive the "Rational" result. I tried a Real and got garbage back. What should I be using? (I get no errors back from calling TIFFGetField.)
You should use float (32-bit floating point value). The following code should work for you:
uint16 res_unit;
float xres = 0.0F, yres = 0.0F;
TIFFGetFieldDefaulted(tif, TIFFTAG_RESOLUTIONUNIT, &res_unit);
TIFFGetField(tif, TIFFTAG_XRESOLUTION, &xres);
TIFFGetField(tif, TIFFTAG_YRESOLUTION, &yres);
