Hi!

I have some trouble with tiff-v3.3beta021. The library is being used on a SGI INDY running IRIX 5.2.

My problem is related to the routine TIFFGetField and I have directed the problem to various NEWS groups as well - with no success. The files I have been testing at shows correct information using tiffdump. Furthermore, I have tested my program using both cc and gcc 2.6.3.

Description of the problem:

When I use TIFFGetField to read the different fields correct information is gained from: TIFFTAG_IMAGEWIDTH, TIFFTAG_IMAGELENGTH, TIFFTAG_BITSPERSAMPLE, TIFFTAG_COMPRESSION, TIFFTAG_IMAGEDESCRIPTION, TIFFTAG_PHOTOMETRIC, TIFFTAG_STRIPOFFSETS, TIFFTAG_SAMPLESPERPIXEL and TIFFTAG_PLANARCONFIG while incorrect information is gained from TIFFTAG_ROWSPERSTRIP and TIFFTAG_STRIPBYTECOUNTS. The incorrect information show no resemblance with the "real" information.

Do You have any idea of what I am doing wrong?? I have run out of ideas.......

Sincerely
Oystein

PS I have included part of the program:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

#include "/usr/local/tiff-v3.3beta021/libtiff/tiffio.h"

main()
{
  TIFF *in;
  uint32 imagewidth, imageheight, *offset;
  uint16 samplesperpixel;
  uint32 rowsperstrip;
  uint32 *stripbytecounts;
  uint16 bitspersample, compression, photomint, plcf;
  char filename[19]= {"../data/test.tif"};

/* Open TIF file for reading of IFD and image data */

  in=TIFFOpen(filename, "r");

/* Read TIF tag information that is needed in the fortran program */

  TIFFGetField(in, TIFFTAG_IMAGEWIDTH, &imagewidth);
  TIFFGetField(in, TIFFTAG_IMAGELENGTH, &imageheight);

  TIFFGetField(in, TIFFTAG_ROWSPERSTRIP, &rowsperstrip);
  TIFFGetField(in, TIFFTAG_STRIPBYTECOUNTS, &stripbytecounts);
  TIFFGetField(in, TIFFTAG_PLANARCONFIG, &plcf);

  printf("\n%s %s\n", " Description: ", description);

/* Close TIF file that have been used */

  TIFFClose(in);

  return;
