    There are several ways to initialize an AVM object:

    * Initialize an empty AVM object:

        >>> avm = AVM()

    * Parse AVM meta-data from an existing image:

        >>> avm = AVM.from_image('myexample.jpg')

    * Create an AVM object from a FITS header:

        >>> from astropy.io import fits
        >>> header = fits.getheader('image.fits')
        >>> avm = AVM.from_header(header)

    * Create an AVM meta-data object from an Astropy WCS instance:

        >>> from astropy.wcs import WCS
        >>> from pyavm import AVM
        >>> wcs = WCS('image.fits')
        >>> avm = AVM.from_wcs(wcs)

    View the contents of the AVM object:

        >>> print(avm)

    The AVM meta-data can be accessed using the attribute notation:

        >>> avm.Spatial.Equinox
        'J2000'
        >>> avm.Publisher
        'Chandra X-ray Observatory'

    Tags can be modified:

        >>> avm.Spatial.Equinox = "B1950"
        >>> avm.Spatial.Notes = "The WCS information was updated on 04/02/2010"

    Finally, it is possible to embed AVM meta-data into an image file:

        >>> avm.embed('original_image.jpg', 'tagged_image.jpg')

    At this time, only JPG and PNG files are supported.
