Is there a way in LibTiff how I can read a file from Memory and save it to Memory?
I don't want to save the image to the disc first, before opening it with an other library...
Thanks so much!

I know this is an old question, but I am going to post an easier, more up-to-date answer for those like myself who need this information for more recent versions of libtiff. In the newest version of libtiff (4.0.2), and even the past few versions I believe (check for your specific version number), there is an include file called tiffio.hxx. It has two extern functions for reading/writing to streams in memory:
extern TIFF* TIFFStreamOpen(const char*, std::ostream *);
extern TIFF* TIFFStreamOpen(const char*, std::istream *);
You can just include this file and read or write to memory.
Writing example:
#include <tiffio.h>
#include <tiffio.hxx>
#include <sstream>
std::ostringstream output_TIFF_stream;
//Note: because this is an in memory TIFF, just use whatever you want for the name - we
//aren't using it to read from a file
TIFF* mem_TIFF = TIFFStreamOpen("MemTIFF", &output_TIFF_stream);
//perform normal operations on mem_TIFF here like setting fields
//...
//Write image data to the TIFF
//..
TIFFClose(mem_TIFF);
//Now output_TIFF_stream has all of my image data. I can do whatever I need to with it.
Reading is very similar:
#include <tiffio.h>
#include <tiffio.hxx>
#include <sstream>
std::istringstream input_TIFF_stream;
//Populate input_TIFF_stream with TIFF image data
//...
TIFF* mem_TIFF = TIFFStreamOpen("MemTIFF", &input_TIFF_stream);
//perform normal operations on mem_TIFF here reading fields
//...
TIFFClose(mem_TIFF);
These are very simple examples, but you can see that by using TIFFStreamOpen you don't have to override those functions and pass them to TIFFClientOpen.
You should create your own read/write/etc. functions and pass them to TIFFClientOpen
(not TIFFOpen
) function when creating your TIFF
.
Example:
TIFF* tif = TIFFClientOpen(
"Memory", "w", (thandle_t)something_you_will_use_later,
tiff_Read, tiff_Write, tiff_Seek, tiff_Close, tiff_Size,
tiff_Map, tiff_Unmap);
And you should also implement following functions (st
passed to these functions is the something_you_will_use_later
passed to TIFFClientOpen
:
tsize_t tiff_Read(thandle_t st,tdata_t buffer,tsize_t size)
{
...
};
tsize_t tiff_Write(thandle_t st,tdata_t buffer,tsize_t size)
{
...
};
int tiff_Close(thandle_t)
{
return 0;
};
toff_t tiff_Seek(thandle_t st,toff_t pos, int whence)
{
if (pos == 0xFFFFFFFF)
return 0xFFFFFFFF;
...
};
toff_t tiff_Size(thandle_t st)
{
...
};
int tiff_Map(thandle_t, tdata_t*, toff_t*)
{
return 0;
};
void tiff_Unmap(thandle_t, tdata_t, toff_t)
{
return;
};
What I'm using...:

In order to use the in-memry buffer:

while (n < memtif->flen) {
