Summary

This tutorial tries to detail all the mechanisms used to create an EDF+ file from scratch. We chose Java to create the file and especially we tried to include the details necessary to :

• Reading selectively some rows and columns of an ASCII file (Chapter 4)
• Creating a String containing fixed length substrings filled with spaces (Chapter 3)
• Handling ByteBuffers to write files (Chapter 6)
• Seeing ByteBuffers as little-endian short buffers (Chapter 6)
• Encoding Strings in ASCII and UTF-8 (Chapter 5).
• Creating XML annotations (Chapter 8)
