Struct tiff_encoder::ByteBlock

pub struct ByteBlock(pub Vec<u8>);

Datablock that consists of a list of bytes.

It is possible to store any block of data in a ByteBlock, but that would require to know the Endianness of the file beforehand, so the bytes are written in the correct order.

Using a Datablock, on the other hand, allows to make use of the functionality of an EndianFile, so the data can be written without worrying about the endianness.

Methods

impl ByteBlock

pub fn offsets(blocks: Vec<Vec<u8>>) -> Offsets<ByteBlock>

Constructs an Offsets of ByteBlocks from a vector of vectors of bytes.

Each vector of bytes represents one ByteBlock.

pub fn single(block: Vec<u8>) -> Offsets<ByteBlock>

Constructs an Offsets from a vector of bytes.

This vector of bytes represents a single ByteBlock.

Trait Implementations

impl Datablock for ByteBlock

fn size(&self) -> u32

The number of bytes occupied by this Datablock.

fn write_to(self, file: &mut EndianFile) -> Result<()>

Writes this Datablock to an [EndianFile]. The number of bytes written must be exactly same number as returned by [size(&self)].
