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.
