Is there other VCL components for Delphi with the same functionality? Back to top eLion Guest Posted: Thu May 10, 2007 8:13 am    Post subject: Re: Anyone using dtpDocument?

Now, there is Sweet_Drawing Engine (for free, I think). dtpDocument : - It is very good for pictures, and picture treatement (effects, transparency, anti-aliasing...). Rotation, grouping of objects, fonts are used as vector, which give more possibility to stretch them... - If you only need lines, boxes and text, it is an overkill (and the anti-aliasing makes the black lines difficult to see when you zoom out) - Very very slow for printing an A4 page: I had to reprogramm a complete new printing routine: sometime I needed to print 100 pages, and it was not possible for my custumers to wait for half an hour and get a spooler full with hundreth of Megabytes ! - You will have to build the UI yourself - Support: Nils Haeck, the maker (very active on the b.p.d.graphics forum), answers, either very fast, or not at all (for this printing problem, no help at all)... One man firm problem ? - Documentation is poor, - The source is well written, with some comments I think dtpDocument is replaced now by Pyro, but is still not officialy released (as far as I know). eLion Back to top Chester Guest Posted: Thu May 10, 2007 9:59 pm    Post subject: Re: Anyone using dtpDocument?

Hi, You may try ImageEn from www.hicomponents.com It has many great features and a very low price Regards, Manolis Perrakis "Chester" <z (AT) Hotmail (DOT) com> wrote in message news:46434f67 (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com...

Hi eLion, I would like to know if it can export or save documents in standard image format like BMP, Jpeg, PDF etc... It can save proprietary format, or you can get a bitmap. (it uses GR32 internally). This would be easy to transform that bitmap in any other image format, using another graphic library (GraphicEx for example). No PDF. Quote: Also if I can save the document to a stream with my own extension. yes, the file save in proprietary format can have any extension. I suggest you to post in b.p.d.graphics: dtpDocuments maker Nils is active there and could answers your question better. eLion Back to top Nils Haeck Guest Posted: Sun May 13, 2007 4:30 pm    Post subject: Re: Anyone using dtpDocument? Pyro is officially released, but does not yet contain an editor module like DtpDocuments. There's just no website yet because I want Pyro to first be used by the "early adopters" and see how they like it, and I want to add these missing pieces before I create the website. There is however a forum specifically for it: http://www.simdesign.nl/forum/viewforum.php?f=13 Anyone just interested in rendering high quality graphics (without editing for now) can already take a look at Pyro. Pyro will not completely replace DtpDocuments; it will just be used "under the hood" in DtpDocuments to take over the rendering that is now still done by Graphics32. Since Pyro supports more formats than Graphics32, Pyro will also enable export inside DtpDocuments to e.g. SVG and PDF. I'm still working on all this :) Nils Haeck Author of DtpDocuments www.simdesign.nl Back to top Chester Guest Posted: Mon May 14, 2007 9:55 pm    Post subject: Re: Anyone using dtpDocument? Hi Nils, The forum is full of spam Back to top Nils Haeck Guest Posted: Mon May 14, 2007 10:34 pm    Post subject: Re: Anyone using dtpDocument? I know.. I clean it once a week, but the rate with which spam gets posted is horrible. I seem to need a spam filter. Somehow though, they only target the first "big" forum which is DtpDocuments. I'll clean it again (sigh). Nils "Chester" <z (AT) Hotmail (DOT) com> schreef in bericht news:46489476$1 (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com...
