Kylix > Applications > Graphics

Description

A simple application using TUniBitmap for compressing images useable for Kylix to BLZ format. So, you could use these images as compressed one readable with TUniBitmap both from resources and from files. The new version contains support for more BMP-variants including RLE4 and RLE8 compressed ones (.rle), because of they are not supported by Kylix, but reading them could freeze the applications in some cases. Some other bugs also are corrected.

Description

Kylix might be freeze by using RLE-compressed bitmaps with BMP extension saved under Windows. So, the TBitmapX will need to correct this problem by serving a hard-decoder for these. TBitmapX also could decode pf15bit Bitmaps as well as the wrong format ones saved by my Delphi 5 used in VMware box under SuSE 7.3. The code was more intensively tested under Kylix 2, but probably portable into Delphi 6, too.

The revised v1.1 of the code is corrected for eliminating a potential memory-leak caused by lacking try-finally blocks and now are used ReadBuffer and WriteBuffer instead of Read and Write respectively for handling streamed data.

Description

More Extended TBevel Component for Kylix to color the bevels.

Probably also work with Delphi 6, and using this component the application could have custom colored bevels or one of the colors predefined.

Description

TDrawedButton component is a "Blank" component defined for buttons which have different active shape like triangular or card figure caro. TNArrowButton component will give a triangle button and TCaroButton will give a button which has similar active shape to card figure caro.

Description

TUniBitmap is a Bitmap component created according to Herbert J. Beemster's free TLZRBitmap at first and there is implementing the capability of reading bitmap from resources linked into .EXE for 16 bit, too. This is according to Borland's code from D3. Another capability read bitmap direct from a TPicture, TIcon and HIcon, TBitmap and HBitmap and TMetafile. The Unibitmap component now is creatable direct from TStream and File giving FileName as String. Some Delphi.TBitmap's procedure are also implementing to function for serve a Delphi TBitmap. Two other component is supplemented to read ZSoft's PCX and static GIF (or the 1st frame of animated one). A 32 bit version of updated imageCompress program is also included, which can read *.bmp, *.dib, *.gif, *.ico, *.wmf, *.blz, *.jpg, *.pcx, *.clp, and *.lbm images and convert them to two way compressed BLZ-file compressing the full image or only the palette and pixel data.

Kylix > Components > Graphics

Description

Extended TBitmap object for Kylix CLX. XUniBMP Unit was made according to UniBmp developed for Delphi (16 and 32 bit) earlier and it was based on Herbert J.Beemster's UBitmap one with Kurt Haenen's LZRW1KH unit. Kurt Haenen's LZRW1KH Unit was modified for Kylix, too, and that is presented as Lzrw1khx.pas. There is overriding of its LZRWIdentifier constant will serve a "LZRW" identifier in the compressed file instead of "WRZL". Another suggestion is the ".BLZ" extension for the compressed bitmap files, because of this unit can compress bitmaps with BitmapHeader structures like the standard Windows' DIBs. Classes2 Unit is not needed for Loading Compressed Bitmaps from Resource's RCDATA, beacuse it was developed for 16 bit Delphi earlier and those methods are implemented in Kylix by Borland. On other hand the Unit contains TUniBitmap as name of modified TBitmap. So, the Delphi-source shouldn't modified. It was implemented for Kylix, but probably work for Delphi 6, too.
