TIFF image data is usually coded in one part.

image data

Tiff image data can be organized into strips for faster random access and efficient I/O buffering.

More sophisticated situations occurs when image data are organized (split) into tiles.

CADRaster and other programs from TESSEL SYSTEMS family support the first two methods of TIFF files coding. The TILE method is not supported now. For faster access to image data, images edited by our applications (TIFF images encoded in G3, G4 or LZW mode only) are be default stored using STRIP method.

If needed you can turn off this option or modify a default strip size using appropriate INI file parameter. For this purpose use "MaxStripSize" key placed in the [Convert] section. If you cannot find such section and key simply add it on the end of the INI file like in examples below. When this key does not exist the default value used by program is 32000.

Examples

1. To disable STRIP mode set MaxStripSize value to 0. This is equal to NO TILE, NO STRIP mode.

[Convert]
MaxStripSize=0

2. To lower strip size set the value to 16000. This is recommended value to work with old Microsoft Office programs (version 6.0).

[Convert]
MaxStripSize=16000
