Hi Bob,

Thanks for the pointers. I had a cursory look at GraphicsMagick and downloaded the source as well. However, I could not locate any code examples. Can you point out which api(s) should I be using for rendering text on the TIFF image?

I am wondering if I can just use the minimum needed libraries than using the entire suite of GraphicsMagick, since I won't be using much of the other image format functionality.For rendering text on TIFF, what underlying libraries/packages are really used? Of course, I saw libtiff being used. But what else library is used that I should look at to achieve my required functionality?

Thanks.

Rajmohan

Libtiff is at a lower level than it seems you need to work at. Perhaps you can make use of a higher level library such as the one one I maintain (GraphicsMagick, http://www.GraphicsMagick.org/) or one of the several others which perform tasks like you describe.
