Tiff Counter | overstimulate

Tue, 19 Apr 2005 comments

Ever needed a Tiff counter? Don't want to pay lots of money or need the information in a specific format? Grab "LibTIFF":http://libtiff.org then compile the following:

#include "tiffio.h"
main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    TIFF* tif = TIFFOpen(argv[1], "r");

    // a "directory" is a page in a multipage tiff

    if (tif) {
	int dircount = 0;
	do {
	 dircount++;
	} while (TIFFReadDirectory(tif));
	printf("%d directories in %s\n", dircount, argv[1]);
	TIFFClose(tif);
    }
}

Yeah, it is C/C++ but sometimes you have to.

You know you can replace all that with a single line? :) LibTIFF comes with a program called tiffinfo, you can grep the word TIFF Directory and count it's output like so: tiffinfo filename.tif | grep 'TIFF Directory' | wc -l
