Hello,

as far as i know the function can only handle subsequent lines (no random access).

The API of this function is not very good, because it implies some random access to the programmer by using the 'row' property. Maybe it would be better this way:

   TIFFReadFirstScanline()
   TIFFReadNextScanline()

Here is a way to provide random access for TIFFReadScanline:

     strip = (row / rps); // points to the absolute strip (do -1 to

get an offset)
     stripsize = TIFFStripSize(tiff);
     TIFFReadEncodedStrip(tiff, strip, stripdata, stripsize);
     stripline = (row % rps); // get the line# inside the strip

     linesize = TIFFScanlineSize(tiff);  // get the size of one line
     offset = (stripline-1) * linesize;  // offset from stripdata to

begin of line
     return (stripdata + offset); // return pointer to wanted line
