Hi Gerben, Well the images are produced as a result of simulations. They are created directly from raw data. When the image gets created I want to print some "characteristics" in a corner. (Many moons ago there was something called Borland C, and that had a function settext (or something like that). You'd choose a font, a location and basically put text on the screen. I want something similar. if it puts the text in a bitmapped buffer than that's fine I (probably) can get that on the Tiff image when it's created. If I have to convert images and use all kinds of tools and different libraries the "thing" probably becomes to big to conveniently run on a cluster. thanks, Ron Gerben Vos wrote: > Ron Croonenberg wrote: > >> I want to make sort of a "label" in/on a TIFF image.
