Java tutorial
//Code by Morrow, Joe [GCG-PFS] (Joe.Morrow at Primerica.com) /* I've created a sample class that will create an image object, annotate it and save it as a tif file. This should be a good example for you to post. I've needed to do this for a long time, and found no good examples of how to do it. Also the documentation on the JAI is somewhat lacking especially when it comes to the proper format and use of tif tags, and how and when to update them. This sample will be useable by almost all tif viewers / printers, something that is sorely lacking in many other examples.
