Examples
Add an arbitrary TIFF tag.
C#
Copy
TiffFile oneTiff = new TiffFile();
oneTiff.Read(inputStream);
// access a TiffDirectory
TiffDirectory image = oneTiff.Images[0];
// access TiffTagCollection
TiffTagCollection tags = image.Tags;
// add Tiff Tags (add copy-right)
tags.Add(new TiffTag(TiffTagID.Copyright, "DotImage"));
// add Tiff Tags
string datetime = "2005:07:26 09:31:23";
tags.Add(new TiffTag(TiffTagID.DateTime, datetime, TiffTagDataType.Ascii));
// save
oneTiff.Save(targetStream);
Demonstrates how to insert a page into an existing TIFF
C#
Copy
string sourceFileName = "1_multi.tif";
string tempFileName = "multi_.tif";

using (Stream fs = File.OpenRead(sourceFileName))
{
    TiffFile tFile = new TiffFile();
    tFile.Read(fs);
    using (TiffDirectory tImage = new TiffDirectory(new AtalaImage(100, 100, PixelFormat.Pixel24bppBgr),
        TiffCompression.JpegCompression))
    {
        tFile.Images.Insert(1, tImage);
        tFile.Save(tempFileName);
    }
}
