Additional Image Support
Previous Top Next

Additional file support (PNG, TIF, GIF etc.) may be added to the TImage demos by adding supporting Third Party units to the uses clause such as ImageEN, Envision, GraphicEX or other third party units available on the internet.

ImageEN
1.     Open the IE.INC file (located in the Source Folder) in notepad or in the Delphi IDE .
2.     Remove the "." from the line (.$define IEREGISTERPICTUREFORMATS} to register image formats supported by ImageEN with the VCL.
3.     Compile the ImageEN packages.

GraphicsEx
GraphicEx is an addendum to Delphi's Graphics.pas in order to enable your application to load many common image formats. This library is primarily designed to load images as background (buttons, forms, toolbars) and textures (DirectX, OpenGL) or for image browsing and editing purposes as long as you don't need to save images. Currently only TTargaGraphic supports also storing an image, but this might change in the future depending on the external support and success for GraphicEx.
GraphicEx is freeware, but only for non-commercial use.
