+Recovery Image Generator
+-------------------------
+
+This program uses java.awt.Graphics2D to generate the background text files used
+under recovery mode. And thus we don't need to do the manual work by running
+emulators with different dpi.
+
+# Usage:
+ `java -jar path_to_jar imageWidth textName fontDirectory resourceDirectory outputFilename`
+
+# Description of the parameters:
+1. `imageWidth`: The number of pixels per line; and the text strings will be
+ wrapped accordingly.
+2. `textName`: The description of the text string, e.g. "recovery_erasing",
+ "recovery_installing_security"
+3. `fontDirectory`: The directory that contains all the support .ttf | .ttc
+ files, e.g. $OUT/system/fonts/
+4. `resourceDirectory`: The resource directory that contains all the translated
+ strings in xml format, e.g. bootable/recovery/tools/recovery_l10n/res/
+5. `outputFilename`: Path to the generated image.
