Name
write_image_metadatawrite_image_metadataWriteImageMetadataWriteImageMetadatawrite_image_metadata — Write metadata of image files.
Signature
void WriteImageMetadata(const HTuple& Format, const HTuple& TagName, const HTuple& TagValue, const HTuple& FileName)
static void HImage::WriteImageMetadata(const HString& Format, const HTuple& TagName, const HTuple& TagValue, const HString& FileName)
static void HImage::WriteImageMetadata(const char* Format, const HTuple& TagName, const HTuple& TagValue, const char* FileName)
static void HImage::WriteImageMetadata(const wchar_t* Format, const HTuple& TagName, const HTuple& TagValue, const wchar_t* FileName)
(Windows only)
Description
The operator write_image_metadatawrite_image_metadataWriteImageMetadataWriteImageMetadataWriteImageMetadatawrite_image_metadata saves the information in
TagValueTagValueTagValueTagValuetagValuetag_value with the tag TagNameTagNameTagNameTagNametagNametag_name into the file
FileNameFileNameFileNameFileNamefileNamefile_name.
In doing so, TagValueTagValueTagValueTagValuetagValuetag_value and TagNameTagNameTagNameTagNametagNametag_name can be single values
or tuples of values.
The parameter FormatFormatFormatFormatformatformat specifies, in which format
the metadata is to be written.
This operators supports for FormatFormatFormatFormatformatformat the TIFF metadata
formats 'tiff'"tiff""tiff""tiff""tiff""tiff" and 'bigtiff'"bigtiff""bigtiff""bigtiff""bigtiff""bigtiff".
A file extension .tif is expected.
A list of the supported tag names for TagNameTagNameTagNameTagNametagNametag_name and the according
data types for TagValueTagValueTagValueTagValuetagValuetag_value is given in read_image_metadataread_image_metadataReadImageMetadataReadImageMetadataReadImageMetadataread_image_metadata.
Execution Information
- Multithreading type: reentrant (runs in parallel with non-exclusive operators).
- Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
- Processed without parallelization.

Result
If TagValueTagValueTagValueTagValuetagValuetag_value can be correctly written for the specified parameters
the operator write_image_metadatawrite_image_metadataWriteImageMetadataWriteImageMetadataWriteImageMetadatawrite_image_metadata returns the value TRUE.
Otherwise an exception is raised. In this case, an extended error
information, as e.g., the causative tag, may be set and can be queried with
the operator get_extended_error_infoget_extended_error_infoGetExtendedErrorInfoGetExtendedErrorInfoGetExtendedErrorInfoget_extended_error_info.
