ALL,

I would like to ask you how to handle data in memory instead of file. I understood about "Basic File Handling" thanks to good manual, "Using The TIFF Library". However, in my project, I want to write a routine which receive the pointer to the memory, in which the whole of a TIFF File has been entered. That is, the routine itself has no way to know the name and place of the file.

Example code is below:

OutPutBitMapStructure *Read_Image_from_TIFF_File_on_memory(
                        void*   TIFF_File_on_memory
                        )
{

/* Ah! Can't use TIFFOpen */
/* TIFF* tif = TIFFOpen("I_Dont_know_the_name.tif", "r"); */

}

Does anyone have a solution? Thank you for your kindness.

If you feel shortage of information (and poverty of my English ability :-), please tell me.
