TPicShow is an image slider control with 172 transitional effects in pure Delphi code. The major characteristics of TPicShow are:

• Image transition can be controlled programatically
• Image can be stretched or centered in the client area of the control
• Control can show a background image as centered, stretched, or tiled
• Transition process can use a separate thread
• New transitional effects can be easily implemented and added.

TAnimateImage is a windowed control similar to TImage for displaying images of an image list on a form. You only need to assign a TImageList component (or its descendant) to its Images property, and set the FrameIndex property to the index of your desired image on the image list.

Of course, TAnimateImage can animate images of an image list too. If you have frames of an animation as Bitmap or Icon, this component offers the easiest way to animate them. For this purpose, TAnimateImage provides some properties to specify interval, segment, and direction of images for the animation.

Imaging is native Object Pascal (Delphi and FPC) image loading, saving and manipulation library. It is available for several platforms and does not require any third party dynamic libraries or other compiled binaries.

New in 0.26.2:

• Delphi 2009 and Lazarus 0.9.26 support
• New canvas methods (flood and boundary fills, color channel fills, color level adjustment, histogram calculation)
• User contributions (ExtraGIF for QIP Infium, NIF loader, HqResampler)
• GIF animator rewritten, transparent PSDs saved as layer, more

Imaging Library Features:

• Supported platforms are: Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, DOS, .NET (using unmanaged DLL), x86/AMD64.
• Loading and saving of these image file formats: BMP, JPEG, PNG, GIF, DDS, TGA, MNG, JNG, JPEG2000, TIFF, PSD, PBM, PGM, PPM, PAM, PFM, PCX, XPM, and more.
• Many internal image data formats: 8, 16, 24, 32, 48 and 64 bit RGB and ARGB formats, indexed formats, grayscale formats, floating point formats (IEEE754 and half precision), compressed formats like DXT1/3/5, 3Dc and BTC.
• Basic image manipulation functions working for all supported data formats and conversions between them (bilinear/bicubic resizing, mipmap generation, color reduction, …).
• Low level library interface (accessible by other programming languages) and high level OOP one.
• Extensions for creating OpenGL, Direct3D, and SDL textures/surfaces.
• VCL and LCL graphic classes and functions.
• Image drawing with blending, linear and nonlinear filters, point transforms, binary morphology, drawing lines, ellipses, rectangles, etc.
• Support for mipmaps, multiimages, direct access to image data, user-specified file formats, overriding default read and write functions, and more.
