\fBlibtiff\fR supports a variety of compression schemes
implemented by software codecs\&. Each codec adheres to a modular interface
that provides for the decoding and encoding of image data, as well as some
other methods for initialization, setup, cleanup, and the control of default
strip and tile sizes\&. Codecs are identified by the associated value of the
TIFF Compression tag, for example, 5 for LZW compression\&.

The \fBTIFFRegisterCODEC\fR routine can be used to augment
or override the set of codecs available to an application\&. If the specified
scheme already has a registered codec, the registered codec is overridden
and any images with data encoded with this compression scheme are decoded
using the supplied codec\&.
