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

xmp = chilkat.CkXmp()

# 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 is a CkXml
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 != True):
    print(xml.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# 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 != True):
    print(xmp.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

success = xmp.Append(xml)
if (success != True):
    print(xmp.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

success = xmp.SaveAppFile("screamOut.jpg")
if (success != True):
    print(xmp.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()
