## Image Writers

The LTIImageWriter class is the base class for implementing specific file format writers. While not derived from any of the other LTIImage classes, it is nonetheless designed to act as an “end” of the image pipeline in order to support writing out an image in a stripwise fashion. The following image writers are supplied with this SDK:

- BBBImageWriter – writes the BIP/BIL/BSQ raw format
- BMPImageWriter – writes the Windows BMP format
- GeoTIFFImageWriter – writes the GeoTIFF format
- JpegImageWriter – writes the JPEG format (Note: "original" JPEG, not JPEG 2000)
- TIFFImageWriter – writes the TIFF format

###### Examples

The Reference Manual contains several examples of working with image writers, including code showing how to write a scene with an LTIImageWriter and how to derive your own simple writer from LTIImageWriter.
