L_WriteFileGeoKey (original) (raw)

Summary

Writes GeoKeys to a file or changes the existing GeoKeys in a file.

Syntax

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTFIL_API L_INT L_WriteFileGeoKey(pszFile, pSaveOptions)

Parameters

L_TCHAR* pszFile

Character string that contains the filename in which to write the GeoKeys.

pSAVEFILEOPTION pSaveOptions

Pointer to a structure that contains optional extended save options. Pass NULL to use the default save options. pSaveOptions.PageNumber indicates the page on which to write the tags. Note that an error code will be returned if the page does not exist.

Returns

Value	Meaning
SUCCESS	The function was successful.
ERROR_NOTHING_TO_DO	No GeoKeys have been set before calling this function.
< 1	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

This function writes to or changes the GeoKeys in an existing file.

This function will write all the GeoKeys that have been set using L_SetGeoKey. There must be at least one GeoKey set for this function to work. If no GeoKeys have been set, an error will be returned by this function.

This function works only with TIFF files.

If you also want to write the other TIFF tags and comments, use L_WriteFileMetaData instead of this function.

Some restrictions apply to this function if you use an IFD to indicate to which page to write the GeoKeys. See the Loading and Saving Large TIFF/BigTIFF Files topic for more information.

Note: Use this function carefully. LEADTOOLS will not restrict the GeoKeys that you write. If you write bad GeoKeys, the file might become corrupted. Consult the GeoTIFF specification documentation for a list of GeoKeys.
