This is a simple wrapper around libtiff using FFI. It only implements a small subset of libffi's features -- just enough to generate a TIFF image and read back some of its data. If you're interested in adding features, you can always send me a pull request (please include specs!).
Tiff::Image.open "filename.tif", "w" do |tiff|
tiff.set_field :compression, :CCITTFAX4
# or: tiff.set_field :compression, :CCITTFAX3
tiff.set_field :photometric, :min_is_white
# or: tiff.set_field :photometric, :min_is_black
tiff.bits_per_sample = 1
tiff.width = 200
tiff.height = 40
tiff.data = raw_data
end
image = Tiff::Image.open "filename.tif", "r"
image.get_field :width # => 200
image.get_field :height # => 40
