ArcGIS.Desktop.Mapping Namespace / TIFFFormat Class
Members Example Version

TIFFFormat Class
Represents a Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) object that can be used to export a MapView, MapFrame, or a Layout.
Syntax
public class TIFFFormat : ExportFormat 
Remarks
TIFF files are the most versatile raster format. TIFFs can store pixel data at several bit depths and can be compressed with either lossy or loss less compression techniques depending on file size and accuracy requirements. They are the best choice for importing into image editing applications across operating systems. They cannot be natively viewed by a web browser. TIFFs exported from a Map or MapFrame also support georeferencing information in GeoTIFF tags or in a separate world file for use as raster data.
