Class TIFFTag

java.lang.Object
org.monte.media.tiff.TIFFTag
public class TIFFTag extends Object
A class defining the notion of a TIFF tag. A TIFF tag is a key that may appear in an Image File Directory (IFD). In the IFD each tag has some data associated with it, which may consist of zero or more values of a given data type. The combination of a tag and a value is known as an IFD Entry or TIFF Field.

The actual tag values used in the root IFD of a standard ("baseline") tiff stream are defined in the BaselineTagSet class.

  • Constructor Details

    • TIFFTag

      public TIFFTag(String name, int number, int dataTypes, ValueFormatter formatter)
      Constructs a TIFFTag with a given name, tag number, set of legal data types, and TagSet to which it refers. The tagSet parameter will generally be non-null only if this TIFFTag corresponds to a pointer to a TIFF IFD. In this case tagSet will represent the set of TIFFTags which appear in the IFD pointed to. A TIFFTag represents an IFD pointer if and only if tagSet is non-null or the data type TIFF_IFD_POINTER is legal.

      If there are mnemonic names to be associated with the legal data values for the tag, addValueName() should be called on the new instance for each name.

      See the documentation for getDataTypes() for an explanation of how the set of data types is to be converted into a bit mask.

      Parameters:
      name - the name of the tag; may be null.
      number - the number used to represent the tag.
      dataTypes - a bit mask indicating the set of legal data types for this tag.
      formatter - a ValueFormatter for formatting data values.
