Hi

It's not the answer to your post, but it gave me a question.  It may be
a very basic issue, but I'm very new to this library, so...

Do you always have to allocate memory with the size of the whole image
data?  For instance, when you TIFFWriteRawStrip(), does it write to
the memory and write to the file only when you TIFFClose()??  Or does
it write to the file directly when you TIFFWriteRawStrip()?

Thank you
