ReadTags(String,Int32) Method

Summary

Reads all the tags stored in a TIFF file.

Syntax

Objective-C

WinRT C#

C++

public Leadtools.RasterCollection<RasterTagMetadata> ReadTags(  
   string fileName, 
   int pageNumber 
)

Public Overloads Function ReadTags( _ 
   ByVal fileName As String, _ 
   ByVal pageNumber As Integer _ 
) As Leadtools.RasterCollection(Of RasterTagMetadata)

public Leadtools.RasterCollection<RasterTagMetadata> ReadTags(  
   string fileName, 
   int pageNumber 
)

- (nullable NSArray<LTRasterTagMetadata *> *)readTagsFromFile:(NSString *)file  
                                                   pageNumber:(NSInteger)pageNumber  
                                                        error:(NSError **)error

 function Leadtools.Codecs.RasterCodecs.ReadTags(String,Int32)(  
   fileName , 
   pageNumber  
)

public: 
Leadtools.RasterCollection<RasterTagMetadata^>^ ReadTags(  
   String^ fileName, 
   int pageNumber 
)

Parameters

fileName
A String containing the input file name.

pageNumber
1-based index of the page from which to read the tags.

Return Value

A collection of RasterTagMetadata containing all the tags found in the file. If the file does not contain any tags, an empty collection will be returned. If the file format does not support tags, an exception will be thrown.

Remarks

To read a specific tag stored in a file, use ReadTag and to enumerate all the tag ids (but not the data) stored in a file use EnumTags.

This method will throw an exception if the file format does not support tags. To determine whether a file format supports tags, use TagsSupported. You can also automatically load all the tags stored in a file during a load operation by setting the CodecsLoadOptions.Tags property to true. The tags data will be stored in the resulting image RasterImage.Tags collection.

To load all the tags stored in a stream containing the image data, use ReadTags.

Example

This example will load all the metadata (tags, geo-keys and comments) found in a disk file.
