A class defining the notion of a TIFF tag. A TIFF tag is a key that may appear in an Image File Directory (IFD). In the IFD each tag has some data associated with it, which may consist of zero or more values of a given data type. The combination of a tag and a value is known as an IFD Entry or TIFF Field.

The actual tag values used in the root IFD of a standard ("baseline") tiff stream are defined in the BaselineTIFFTagSet class.

Constructs a TIFFTag with a given name, tag number, set of legal data types, and value count. A negative value count signifies that either an arbitrary number of values is legal or the required count is determined by the values of other fields in the IFD. A non-negative count specifies the number of values which an associated field must contain. The tag will have no associated TIFFTagSet.

If there are mnemonic names to be associated with the legal data values for the tag, addValueName() should be called on the new instance for each name. Mnemonic names apply only to tags which have integral data type.

See the documentation for getDataTypes() for an explanation of how the set of data types is to be converted into a bit mask.

Params:
  • name – the name of the tag.
  • number – the number used to represent the tag.
  • dataTypes – a bit mask indicating the set of legal data types for this tag.
  • count – the value count for this tag.
Throws:
