success := 0;

// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

xmp := TChilkatXmp.Create(Self);

// The first step is to create a new XMP document, which is nothing
// more than XML.  The NewXmp method returns an XML document with
// the standard XMP boilerplate.  
xml := xmp.NewXmp();

// Add some properties...
success := xmp.AddSimpleStr(xml,'Iptc4xmpCore:Chilkat','Blah blah');
// If you wish to view the XML, save it to a file and review it
// with a text editor:
success := xml.SaveXml('newXmp.xml');
if (success <> 1) then
  begin
    Memo1.Lines.Add(xml.LastErrorText);
    Exit;
  end;

// To add the XMP to the JPG (or TIFF), simply load the JPG,
// append the XMP, and save:
success := xmp.LoadAppFile('scream.jpg');
if (success <> 1) then
  begin
    Memo1.Lines.Add(xmp.LastErrorText);

  end;
success := xmp.Append(xml);
