Delphi Tutorial — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 08:49:42 +0000

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.

TDBPicShow is the data-aware version of TPicShow with the ability to load bitmap, jpeg, and metafile images (natively) from a blob field.

TAnimateImage 1.02

Delphi Tutorial — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 08:59:35 +0000

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.

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.
