在TIFF创建缩略图一个子IFD（的libtiff）(In a TIFF create a Sub

我知道thumbnail.c包括创建缩略图，并将其放置在一个子IDF一些代码，但有很多代码回事（生成缩略图，应用对比度曲线等），我有困难只是重现写一个缩略图。谷歌一直没有任何帮助的。

我的问题是，我已经打开了一个输出文件，并有一个TIFF *后，我有我的缩略图数据都准备好了（以及我的主图像数据），如何添加他们以这样的方式，该缩略图是子主图像IFD的IFD？

因此，通过在一段时间内的libtiff源代码周围挖掘后，我在tif_dirwrite.c碰到这个偶然发现：

因此，要回答自己的问题（如何写一个缩略图在主图像IFD的子IFD）：

//...
//For the sake of this demo we will assume that I have opened a 
//TIFF (TIFF* created_TIFF) in write mode and have included the correct header
//files

//set all of your TIFF fields for the main image
//...

//Define the number of sub-IFDs you are going to write
//(assuming here that we are only writing one thumbnail for the image):
int number_of_sub_IFDs = 1;
toff_t sub_IFDs_offsets[1] = { 0UL };

//set the TIFFTAG_SUBIFD field:
if(!TIFFSetField(created_TIFF, TIFFTAG_SUBIFD, number_of_sub_IFDs, 
    sub_IFDs_offsets))
{
    //there was an error setting the field
}

//Write your main image raster data to the TIFF (using whatever means you need,
//such as TIFFWriteRawStrip, TIFFWriteEncodedStrip, TIFFWriteEncodedTile, etc.)
//...

//Write your main IFD like so:
TIFFWriteDirectory(created_TIFF);

//Now here is the trick: like the comment in the libtiff source states, the 
//next n directories written will be sub-IFDs of the main IFD (where n is 
//number_of_sub_IFDs specified when you set the TIFFTAG_SUBIFD field)

//Set up your sub-IFD
if(!TIFFSetField(created_TIFF, TIFFTAG_SUBFILETYPE, FILETYPE_REDUCEDIMAGE))
{
    //there was an error setting the field
}

//set the rest of the required tags here, as well as any extras you would like
//(remember, these refer to the thumbnail, not the main image)
//...

//Write this sub-IFD:
TIFFWriteDirectory(created_TIFF);

//Assuming you are only writing one sub-IFD and are done with the file, you 
//can close it now. If you specified more than one sub-IFD, you need repeat 
//the above code (starting where we set TIFFTAG_SUBFILETYPE) for each of your
//sub-IFDs
TIFFClose(created_TIFF);

我希望这可以帮助别人，他们没有像我一样弄清楚如何做到这一点花费同样多的努力。这真的是一个耻辱，被填实libtiff如此糟糕记录，特别是考虑到它是如何得到广泛应用。
