The main idea of Image Editor Suite is to split image displaying and zooming in visual part from drawing tools which are realized in separated non-visual components.

Image Editor Suite contains 5 components:

• TImageEditor - visual component that displays, zooms and scrolls image. It receives all user input and translates it into drawers' methods calls.
• TColorToolbar - visual component that can be connected with TImageEditor to choose foreground and background color. Color palette presented as collection property that can be edited at desing time and at runtime, saved to file and loaded from file. There are methods which can add standard color sets, like VGA palette, gray scales, etc.
• TSimpleDrawer - non-visual drawer component. Has no own functionality and just fires event from each method. Use it for creating simple drawing functionality. It is used as ancestor for any drawer components also.
• TStandardDrawer - full-functional drawer component. Supports all you need in graphic editor - dropper, eraser, pencil, polyline, brush, spray, fill, empty and filled shapes, text and, of course, selection and clip operations. It can be used as good example of creating drawer components.
• TPluginDrawer - drawer component that allows to use drawing functionality realized in the external DLL. Plugin DLL can be connected at design time and at runtime with easy. DLL template included into Image Editor Suite.

Features:

• All GDI+ objects are accessed trough interfaces, with automatic release of resources.
• All data types are either Delphi objects, records or arrays.
• Most class member functions return pointer to the class allowing the next function to be called in the same line, thus simplifying the code.
• All callbacks are wrapped into events.
• The library directly integrates with TCanvas, TBitmap, and TIcon.
• Whenever classes have similar functionality they expose common interface for code reusability.
• All errors are handled trough exceptions for simplified error handling, and code reduction.
• The library also adds a number of functions missing in GDI+ such as rounded rectangles, and combined Pen and Brush drawing functions.
• All functions using pointers in C++ are redesigned to accept or return Delphi arrays.

• Visio like editor
• Antialised 2D vector graphics
• Alpha channel support

AggPas doesn't depend on any graphic API or technology. Basically, you can think of AggPas as of a rendering engine that produces pixel images in memory from some vectorial data.

With AggPas you can perform many vector graphics tasks like drawing all geometric primitives, bsplines, bezier curves, gradients, affine transformations, gamma correction, gouraud shadings, perspective transformation, font rendering, polygon clipping, svg rendering and many more in antialiased quality with subpixel rendering precision.

Vector Graphics ActiveX is the ultimate graphics solution for you. It is the easy-to-use for creating technical drawings, illustrations and presentation, training material and business reports, charts and diagrams and much more. Vector Graphics ActiveX offers a wide range of new features and enhancements designed to increase productivity and extend your creative possibilities.

Component is based on Layer-Class-Shape architecture. It means, that all displayed shapes are owned by the certain classes and can not exist themselves. Drawing shapes depends on a classes they are belonging, but each shape has an opportunity to draw itself. Thus the constructed architecture allows to repeatedly reduce the size of the stored data, to increase speed of loading and displaying documents, and also to provide excellent speed of program work with documents containing around 1 000 000 shapes.

FlexGraphics library can be used for creation of plots, drawings, electrical, concept and mnemonic charts as well as for creation of interactive plans with high level of detail for various facilities, buildings or their parts.

FlexGraphics library can also be used for visualization of information being received from various sensors in real time.

GIS-systems and CAD-systems can also be developed using this library. FlexGraphics can be called a mini analog for Visio.

The library is implemented basing on Windows GDI and supports the following graphical objects:

• line;
• box (including the rounded box);
• circle (ellipse);
• poly-line;
• polygon;
• text (including multiline text);
• bitmap raster image (WMF, BMP, ICO, JPG, JPEG, GIF, EMF).

• one document may contain multiple charts that can be cross-referenced from various objects belonging to various pages (charts);
• page background and background image are fully supported;
• multiple layers support (layer can be editable, readable and hidden);
• object groups are supported;
• two kinds of grid are supported: fixed step grid and exact grid which is extremely important in design process;
• object alignment is supported;
• angled text support;
• gradient fill of bound objects;
• objects and groups of objects have the following attributes: ID, name, hint, tag, layer, user fields (stored in document body) and others depending on object type;
• various information (both local and contained in database) can be attached to documents;
• objects can be copied, duplicated, moved, cut or copied to Windows clipboard or other applications;
• objects can be stored in database for the purposes of further design optimization;
• full control of all objects at run time including the ability to access objects both by ID and by name;
• image zooming is supported;
• image can be printed;
• image can be exported to WMF;
• documents and image libraries can be saved both locally and in internal database;
• object mirror is supported;
• Bezier curves is supported;
• object rotate is supported (only 90).

Here's what you get with GDI+: antialiased 2D drawing, alpha channel support, universal transformations and floating point coordinates, gradient brushes, cardinal splines, scalable regions, and a new programming model.

The GDI+ feature can be easily redistributed. GDI+ is standard on Windows XP. For Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000, you can simply copy GdiPlus.DLL into your app's directory.

GDI+ uses a different programming model from GDI. Instead of selecting brushes and pens into a device context, in GDI+ you pass the pen or brush into every drawing command. Graphics elements are no longer drawn with both the pen and brush together; they are outlined and filled using separate functions (such as DrawRectangle and FillRectangle).
