How Target Eye's screen capturing mechanism works
This article is the second one in the Target Eye Revealed series, and discusses the screen capturing mechanism. After taking a look at the purpose of screen capturing, we will see a few screenshot files followed by steps in capturing the screen. We will also get to learn how to use the source code.

   is5_CreateTIFFReader_TR / _is5_CreateTIFFReader_TR

   Purpose : 
   Create an ImgSource TIFF reading object. This allows
   you to read images, read tags and perform other operations on 
   a TIFF file without having to re-read the TIFF directory
   structure, as you would with the normal (non is5_*_TR) TIFF
   functions. This allows greater flexibility and performance.

   Example:
       HISTIFFREADER hTIFFR = is5_CreateTIFFReader_TR(hSrc, 0, 0);

       char *pStr = NULL;
       UINT32 wid;

       // get image description
       is5_GetTIFFTag_TR(hTIFFR, 270, 0, &pStr);

       // get image width
       is5_GetTIFFTag_TR(hTIFFR, 256, 0, &wid);

       // get RichIPTC data (count and pointer to data)
       UINT32 count;
       BYTE *pRichIPTC=NULL;
       is5_GetTIFFTag_TR(hTIFFR, 33723, 0, &count, &pRichIPTC);

       // read image 
       UINT32 w1,h1;
       HGLOBAL hImg1 = is5_ReadTIFF_TR(hTIFFR, &w, &h, 24, 0, 0, 0);

       // change to page 2
       is5_SetTIFFPage_TR(hTIFFR, 1);

       // read it
       UINT32 w2,h2;
       HGLOBAL hImg2 = is5_ReadTIFF_TR(hTIFFR, &w, &h, 24, 0, 0, 0);

       // read a single strip.
       // note that we don't have to call is5_Seek, or reopen the file, or use 
       // the TIFF tile/strip reader to do this.
       UINT32 w2s,h2s;
       HGLOBAL hImgStrip = is5_ReadTIFFTileOrStrip_TR(hTIFFR, &w2s, &h2s, 24, 0, 0, 0, 1 << 3);

       is5_DestroyTIFFReader_TR(hTIFFR, 0);

       is5_CloseSource(hSrc);

   Note:
   You don't need to use is5_Seek to rewind the file pointer, when using this.

   is5_ReadTIFF_TR / _is5_ReadTIFF_TR

   Purpose : 
   Read a single page from a TIFF file using a TIFF reader object.

   For single page TIFFs, use page index 0.

   Note:
	If reading to 24-bit RGB or 32-bit RGBA, this function will 
	automatically convert the input image data to 24-bit (or 32-bit) data.
	
	For other bit depths, no conversion is done, and you must read
	the TIFF to its native bit depth. For example: to get 1-bit data, you 
	must read a 1-bit TIFF; to get 8-bit data, you need an 8-bit TIFF; to 
	get 16-bit data, you need a 16-bit TIFF, etc.. 

   Note:
   Unless reading to 24 or 32-bits, if the file bit depth is not equal 
	to the requested bit depth, this function will fail with 
	IS_ERR_DEPTHMISMATCH.

                              this can greatly speed up image reading,

   is5_ReadTIFFTileOrStrip_TR / _is5_ReadTIFFTileOrStrip_TR

   Purpose : 
   Read a single tile or strip from a TIFF file using a TIFF reader object. 

   To determine if a TIFF is stored as tiles or strips, use
   is5_GetTIFFTag_TR and test the TIFFTAG_TILEWIDTH and/or 
   TIFFTAG_TILELENGTH tags. If both are set, it's a tiled TIFF. 
   If none are set it's a stripped TIFF. If only one is set, 
   it's an error.

   Before you get a tile, you need to know the tile width 
   and height. Tiles are requested by the top-left corner of 
   the tile. Ex. if the tile dimensions are 64x64, you can get
   tiles at (0,0) , (64,0) , (128,0) , (64,0) , etc..

   Strips are requested by their index. Use TIFFTAG_ROWSPERSTRIP 
   to get the height of a strip. Strip #0 is at the top of the 
   image, strip #1 follows after TIFFTAG_ROWSPERSTRIP rows, etc.. 

   Note:
   This function DOES NOT correct for image orientation. Tiles are
   strips are returned as they are stored in the file. If you
   need to correct for orientation, you will need to do this manually.

   Note:
   Tiles along the right and bottom edges (and strips along the 
   bottom) will likely contain padding unless the image is a perfect
   multiple of the tile/strip size. This padding will be filled 
   with zeros. 

   Note:
   If the file bit depth is greater than the requested 
   bit depth, this function will fail with IS_ERR_DEPTHMISMATCH

   Note:
   See notes for is5_SetFileReadAllocCallbacks, if you are
   using custom memory allocation callbacks.

   Purpose : 
   Read a TIFF tag.

   Note:
   This is a direct call to LibTiff's TIFFVGetField function.
   As the caller, you must know the number and type of all 
   parameter you pass in the variable length argument list.
   Passing the wrong number or type of parameters will almost
   certainly cause your program to crash.

   This uses C/C++'s variable argument list functionality. In C#, you
   can use the __arglist keyword to use this function. We do not
   know what is required to use it from other languages.

   You can also read tags that aren't listed here, but parameter type
   and count will be determined by tag data type and count.

   Note:
   Where the parameter is a pointer to a pointer (ex: uint32**), you
   must pass the address of a pointer to the appropriate data type. Your
   pointer will be set to point to the image's tag data. You do not
   need to delete/free this memory. You should not modify the data.
   When the parameter is just a pointer, you must pass the address of
   a variable of the appropriate data type. 
   
   Note:
   There is NO WAY for this function to validate that you've passed the
   correct parameter types and count.

   Note:
   Please see the TIFF 6.0 specification, or a copy of the LibTiff's tiff.h
   for a list of what values are acceptable for each tag.

   Purpose : 
   Create an ImgSource TIFF writing object. This allows
   you to write images, tags and perform other operations on 
   a TIFF file without having to re-read the TIFF directory
   structure, as you would with the normal (non is5_*_TW) TIFF
   functions. This allows greater flexibility and performance.
     
   After calling this, you need to call is5_InitializeTIFFWriter_TW
   to set up a new page/frame, before you write the image data or
   set tags.

   Example:
   HISDEST hDest = is5_OpenFileDest(filename, 0);
 
   HISTIFFWRITER hTIFF = is5_CreateTIFFWriter_TW(hDest, 0);
   
   // create the writer
   is5_InitializeTIFFWriter_TW(hTIFF, w1, h1, 1, pal, 0, 0, 0);

   // set the image description tag
   is5_SetTIFFTag_TW(hTIFF, 270, 0, "A lovely image!");

   // write a 1-bit image
   is5_WriteTIFF_TW(hTIFF,  p1, (w1+7)/8, 0);

   // start a new page by finishing this page. 
   // (this is not necessary if you are only writing a single page)
   is5_WriteDirectory_TW(hTIFF, 0);

   // initialize another image page
   is5_InitializeTIFFWriter_TW(hTIFF, w2, h2, 1, pal, 0, 0, 0);
   
   // set a different image description
   is5_SetTIFFTag_TW(hTIFF, 270, 0, "A Fantastic Image!!");

   is5_WriteTIFF_TW(hTIFF,  p2, (w2+7)/8, 0);

   // close it up.
   is5_DestroyTIFFWriter_TW(hTIFF, 0);

   is5_CloseDest(hDest);



   Param             Use

   is5_InitializeTIFFWriter_TW / _is5_InitializeTIFFWriter_TW

   Purpose : 
   Prepare a TIFF writer object for writing an image. This
   is the second step in writing a TIFF image with the image writer object.
   This is where you tell the object the bit depth, dimensions, color type,
   etc. of the image you're going to write. 

   All image writing will occur in the current TIFF directory (aka 'page').
   To write a multiple page TIFF, see is5_WriteDirectory_TW.

   Note:
   If uBitsPerPixel = 64, input image must be 64-bit RGBA or CMYK.
   If uBitsPerPixel = 48, input image must be 48-bit RGB.
   If uBitsPerPixel = 32, input image must be 32-bit RGBA or CMYK.
   If uBitsPerPixel = 24, input image must be 24-bit RGB.
   If uBitsPerPixel = 16, input image must be 16-bit grayscale (one 16-bit value per pixel)
   If uBitsPerPixel = 8, input image must be 8-bit.
   If uBitsPerPixel = 4, input image must be 4-bit, see notes below.
   If uBitsPerPixel = 1, input image must be 1-bit, see notes below.


   Note:
   For 1 bit images:
      Each pixel row must start on a byte boundary and it must
      be a whole number of bytes wide.

      These rows must be (int)((uWidth + 7) / 8) bytes wide.

   For 4 bit images:
      Pixels must be packed 2 to a BYTE.

      Each pixel row must start on a byte boundary and it must
      be a whole number of bytes wide.

      These rows must be (int)((uWidth + 1) / 2) bytes wide.

   Note:
      1-bit images do not use the palette. They must be arranged
      so that 0-pixels are white and 1-pixels are black (use
      uFlags to reverse this, see below).

	Note:
		For G2 (Huffman)/G3/G4 fax-compressed images, zero pixels
		are _always_ assumed to be white (1 = black). This is 
		regardless of what you set for uFlags bit #5.

   Note:
   See is5_SetTIFFOutputStripSize to control strip size.
   
   Note:
   You can control image orientation with is5_SetTIFFOrientation before this
   call, or by setting the orientation tag with is5_SetTIFFTag_TW after 
   this call. 
   
   is5_SetTIFFTag_TW can be used to override many tags, but it is 
   recommended that you do not override image dimension tags, bit depth tags 
   or other fundamental properties.

   is5_SetTIFFTag_TW / _is5_SetTIFFTag_TW

   Purpose : 
   Add a TIFF tag to be written to the next directory write
   (this happens after image data is written).

   Note:
   This is a direct call to LibTiff's TIFFVSetField function.
   As the caller, you must know the number and type of all 
   parameter you pass in the variable length argument list.
   Passing the wrong number or type of parameters will almost
   certainly cause your program to crash.

   This uses C/C++'s variable argument list functionality. In C#, you
   can use the __arglist keyword to use this function. We do not
   know what is required to use it from other languages.

   Note:
   ImgSource will set some of these tags as part of its normal operation
   when writing images (ex. TIFFTAG_IMAGEWIDTH, TIFFTAG_IMAGELENGTH, etc).
   Setting tags that describe the dimensions and configuration of image data
   to different value than ImgSource sets will probably cause serious errors
   in the files, and/or the operation of you application. Be careful.

   This is the current set of writeable tags LibTiff has built-in:

   is5_GeoTIFFCreateReader / _is5_GeoTIFFCreateReader

   Purpose : 
   Create an ImgSource GeoTIFF data reading object. This
   call creates the GeoTIFF reader object from your TIFFReader object
   and parses the TIFF file for GeoTIFF tag data. To fetch the 
   individual tags from the data, use is5_GeoTIFFGetTag.

   Use is5_DestroyGEOTIFFReader to release the memory associated with
   this object.

   Note:
   For a list of GeoTiff tags, see the web site : 
      http://www.remotesensing.org/geotiff/spec/geotiffhome.html

   Note:
   This looks in the current TIFF page/directory for GeoTIFF data
   (see is5_SetTIFFPage_TR to change page).

   is5_GeoTIFFGetTag / _is5_GeoTIFFGetTag

   Purpose : 
   Get the tag data for a single tag from an ImgSource
   GeoTIFF data reader object.

   All data is returned as an array of values.

   Note:
   For a list of tags and the values associated with them, see:
      http://www.remotesensing.org/geotiff/spec/geotiffhome.html

   Note: 
   phData will point to an array of values of the data type 
   used by the tag:

	   is5_GeoTIFFTYPE_BYTE	    data is an array of BYTEs 
	   is5_GeoTIFFTYPE_ASCII	    data is an array of ASCII-encoded, zero-terminated string
	   is5_GeoTIFFTYPE_SHORT	    data in an array of 16-bit unsigned integers 
	   is5_GeoTIFFTYPE_LONG	    data in an array of 32-bit unsigned integers
	   is5_GeoTIFFTYPE_SBYTE	    data in an array of BYTEs
	   is5_GeoTIFFTYPE_UNKNOWN	 data in an array of BYTEs
	   is5_GeoTIFFTYPE_SSHORT	    data in an array of 16-bit signed integers 
	   is5_GeoTIFFTYPE_SLONG	    data in an array of 32-bit signed integers
	   is5_GeoTIFFTYPE_FLOAT	    data in an array of floats (32-bit IEEE floating point)
	   is5_GeoTIFFTYPE_DOUBLE	    data in an array of doubles (64-bit IEEE floating point)

	   is5_GeoTIFFTYPE_RATIONAL	 data in an array of 64-bit signed fractions,
                                  where each fraction is composed of two 32-bit values;
                                  the first 32-bit integer is the numerator, and the second
                                  is the denominator. so, a single tag value is two 32-bit values.

   Param             Use
   ------------------------------------

   uTagID            tag ID

   phData            receives a handle to an array of data. see Notes.
                     you must use GlobalFree to release this
                     memory when you are finished with it.

   puCount           receives the number of elements in the data array.

   puTagType         receives tag data type. this determines the format
                     of the data returned in phData
