WriteComment(Stream,int,RasterCommentMetadata) Method

Summary
Writes a comment to an existing stream.
Syntax
C#
Objective-C
C++/CLI
Java
Python
public void WriteComment( 
   Stream stream, 
   int pageNumber, 
   RasterCommentMetadata comment 
) 
- (BOOL)writeComment:(nullable LTRasterCommentMetadata *)comment  
            toStream:(LTLeadStream *)stream  
          pageNumber:(NSInteger)pageNumber  
               error:(NSError **)error 
public void writeComment(ILeadStream stream, int pageNumber, RasterCommentMetadata comment) 
public: 
void WriteComment(  
   Stream^ stream, 
   int pageNumber, 
   RasterCommentMetadata^ comment 
)  
def WriteComment(self,stream,pageNumber,comment): 

Parameters

stream
A Stream that contains the file data.

pageNumber
1-based index of the page at which to write the comment.

comment
A RasterCommentMetadata object containing the comment data.

Remarks

This function only applies to TIF, EXIF, JPEG, JPEG 2000, FPX, and PNG files.

When you add or remove tags, the tags array at the end of the file is re-written. When you modify existing tags, the new tag value is added to the file and the IFD is modified as necessary. In all of these cases, there is no image recompression.

Some restrictions apply to this function if you use an IFD to indicate to which page to write the comment. See the Loading and Saving Large TIFF / BigTIFF Files and Types of File Comments topics for more information.
