Description

With the DtpDocuments component suite, you, the developer, can instantly add professional-quality document editing capabilities to your VCL applications.

It is not the next reporting component that can only output square, unblended shapes and text blocks. This component can handle virtually every graphical aspect, including native free rotation and alpha blending on pixel and shape level.

The TDtpDocument component is designed from the ground up to take away a lot of work from your hands:

• Provide a scrollable region that visually looks like a paper page on which the user can drag, drop and edit all kinds of shapes, using mouse and keyboard. Scrolling and zooming, as well as moving shapes is super fast and completely flicker free due to smart internal caching and full usage of MMX.
• Provide a complete multi-page document object that holds any number of pages, which are also accessible through a clickable thumbnail list.
• Provide a complete storage mechanism to store these pages and their contents into one file. The file can also efficiently store any kind of embedded data in shapes (e.g. images), as well as user data through events.
• Provides full cut/copy/paste for shapes and pages within the application or even between applications using the Windows clipboard.
• Provides high-quality printing, either complete document or selections, at multiple resolutions, to a device (printer) or to an image.
• Full undo and redo functionality is built right into the component. No need to worry about writing your own, it is already there. There is a configurable undo limit and the undo information is stored very efficiently (transaction based).
• Positioning helpers are provided: grid, dots, or checker pattern, functions "snap to grid" and hotzone scrolling. Rotation is free by default but with StepAngle it can be configured to be done in steps.

Components > Graphics > JPG Images

Description

This software component contains a fully object oriented Pascal implementation that allows to read and write Jpeg files.

You can use this software to read and write Jpeg images from files or streams. It supports baseline and progressive Jpeg, support for metadata, as well as all conceivable lossless operations.

Features:

• Read and write Jpeg images directly from stream or file, the library supports both baseline and progressive DCT coding. Algorithms for Huffman decoding, inverse DCT and color conversions are all very fast and optimized.
• Support for virtually all colour spaces available in the Jpeg format, including YCbCr, RGB, Gray, YCbCrA, RGBA, CMYK and YCCK (Photoshop). The detection of the correct color space is based on information available in the Jpeg format itself and in additional metadata, such as JFIF and Adobe APP14 markers. The color format used in the Jpeg file can be auto-detected (default) or specified. The color format for the output bitmap can be chosen to be RGB, RGBA, Gray or CMYK.
• Many lossless operations are supported:
• Rotate 90 degrees clockwise/counter-clockwise
• Rotate 180 degrees
• Transpose
• Flip horizontal/vertical
• Lossless cropping
• Semi-lossless brightness and contrast adjustments (working directly on the DCT coefficients)
• Huffman table optimization, while preserving all other info.
Lossless operations do not destroy the metadata, all information in the file is preserved.
• Load Jpeg files at full scale, half scale, quarter scale or one-eight scale. If just a thumbnail is required, this option will speed up loading and decoding times considerably.
• Support for ICC profiles: extract, inject, load and save ICC color profiles from the Jpeg file, and use these profiles with e.g. Little CMS to provide an accurate color representation.
• Metadata can be extracted and injected in Jpeg files easily. All special metadata tags are recognized, among which: JFIF, EXIF, IPTC, Adobe XMP, Jpeg Comment, Adobe APP14 information, ICC color profiles.

Components > Internet > HTML, XML and so on

Description

This software component contains a small-footprint Delphi XML implementation that allows to read and write XML documents. You basically only need one unit and you can simply add it to the "uses" clause.

You can use this software to read XML documents from files, streams or strings. The load routine generates events that can be used to display load progress on the fly. You can also use it to create and save XML documents.

Features:

• Read XML directly from string, stream or file with fast parser (1Mb/sec on 1.5GHz P3), writes to string, stream and file even faster.
• Import of all common tags, including comments, CDATA, XML declarations and stylesheets.
• Load from streaming media is supported; you can set up events to work with the node data while it comes in. No need to keep the whole XML document in memory. Works well for huge documents. This is the SAX-like approach.
• Save to file, string or stream in readable or compact format. Readable format will add linefeeds and indents to make the file readable in a text editor. Compact format sticks to the Xml specification and adds minimal control characters.
• Directly add blobs or streams in the XML file, they will be encoded as Binhex or Base64 (but you don't have to worry about that).
• Many native Delphi types can be stored directly to the nodes, making this code very suitable to use while writing storage methods. Store and load boolean, single, double, word, integer, string, TFont, TColor, TPen, TBrush, TDateTime. You don't have to worry about escaping the strings; this is done automatically.
• Loads and saves ANSI, UTF-8 as well as Unicode (UTF-16) documents and implements proper conversion warnings. Recognises streams even without byte order marks. NativeXml works internally with UTF8 encoded strings to preserve extended characters, and supports widestrings.
• Unique feature: Add XML nodes to a file that exists on disk without reading the complete file. The additional unit XmlAppends will search from the end of the (possibly huge) file on disk and append node data there directly.
• Unique feature: Store, read and create any TPersistent object to/from XML directly. This is done by iterating through all of the objects' published properties by use of RTTI (runtime type information). This feature is only available for D5 and up.

Description

Two-dimensional triangulator, that creates an optimized number of triangles from any input polygon. It can create delauney (constrained) meshes, as well as quality meshes, that are very suitable for later processing, like Finite Element Methods.
