2004.11.18 18:05 "Using TIFFGetField to get a "Rational"", by Stephen Billard
I am new to LibTIFF. I want to get the ResolutionUnit, XResolution, and YResolution from a TIFF file. I have no problem getting the Resolution unit. (Although I did see a strange behavior. If I had not initialized the variable that receives the ResolutionUnit value before calling TIFFGetField, I did not get back the value. If I initialize the variable to 0, I get back the correct unit.) I am having no luck with the X & Y Resolutions. I suspect that I don't know what kind of variable to receive the "Rational" result. I tried a Real and got garbage back. What should I be using? (I get no errors back from calling TIFFGetField.) -Stephen www.sbillard.org/Stephen
