Hello,

I ve got a problem with using the library function 
TIFFWriteEncodedStrip.
I use version 3.6.1 of libtiff under Windows NT with the compiler
lcc-win32 from Nov 2003.
I did some experiments with the example at
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-libtiff/

The problem is:
wangimg.exe under WinNT cannot read the image in most cases.
irfanview (i_view32.exe) can, but has sometimes problems.
If I read a "damaged" Group 4 with irfanview and export it there again
as a Group 4, the new file can be read with wangimg.exe.
How can I solve this problem?

In the appendix there are two (small) files:
outputIRFAN.tif is the "corrupted" file, but converted with IRFAN.
Before that the file has the incredible size of 1.18MByte.
outputOK.tif shows, how the content should be.

The code I used is listed below.
 
 TIFF *image;
  // Open the TIFF file
  if((image = TIFFOpen("output.tif", "w")) == NULL){
    printf("Could not open output.tif for writing\n");
    exit(42);
  }

  // We need to set some values for basic tags before we can add any
data
  TIFFSetField(image, TIFFTAG_SUBFILETYPE, 0);


  TIFFSetField(image, TIFFTAG_IMAGEWIDTH, 25 * 8);
  TIFFSetField(image, TIFFTAG_IMAGELENGTH, 144);
  TIFFSetField(image, TIFFTAG_BITSPERSAMPLE, 1);
  TIFFSetField(image, TIFFTAG_SAMPLESPERPIXEL, 1);
//  TIFFSetField(image, TIFFTAG_ROWSPERSTRIP, 144);
  TIFFSetField(image, TIFFTAG_ROWSPERSTRIP, 73);

  TIFFSetField(image, TIFFTAG_COMPRESSION, COMPRESSION_CCITTFAX4);
  TIFFSetField(image, TIFFTAG_PHOTOMETRIC, PHOTOMETRIC_MINISWHITE);
  TIFFSetField(image, TIFFTAG_PLANARCONFIG, PLANARCONFIG_CONTIG);

  TIFFSetField(image, TIFFTAG_XRESOLUTION, 150.0);
  TIFFSetField(image, TIFFTAG_YRESOLUTION, 150.0);
  TIFFSetField(image, TIFFTAG_RESOLUTIONUNIT, RESUNIT_INCH);

  TIFFWriteEncodedStrip(image, 0, buffer, 25 * 73);
  TIFFWriteEncodedStrip(image, 1, buffer, 25 * 71);


  // Close the file
  TIFFClose(image);
return(0);

Many thanks in advance.
