JAI - creating multi page tiff images

[Ivan Bosnjak]

Hi! I'm using Java Advanced Imaging API to create a multi page tiff files from a bunch of single page tiff files.

For example in one folder there are 80 single tiff images and I would like to create 8 multi tiff files with 10 images each.

Here is another example where I tried putting 5 images (single0.tif ... single4.tif) in one multi tiff file (multi.tif) but of course it doesn't work

    int tiffSize = 5;
    
    PlanarImage[] images = new PlanarImage[tiffSize];
    
    for (int i = 0; i < tiffSize ; i++){
    images[i] = JAI.create("fileload", "d:/multiTEST/single" + i + ".tif");
    }
    
        TIFFEncodeParam param = new TIFFEncodeParam();
        param.setCompression(TIFFEncodeParam.COMPRESSION_GROUP4);
    
    File file = new File("d:/multiTEST/multi.tif");
 
        ParameterBlock pb = new ParameterBlock();
    
        pb.addSource(images);
        pb.add(file.toString());
        pb.add("tiff");
        pb.add(param);
        RenderedOp r = JAI.create("filestore",pb);
        r.dispose();    

If you have any ideas I would really appriciate your help.

Thanks in advance!
