What function do I use to draw various shapes in Delphi 6? I need to draw
circles, lines, and rectangles on a form, with the option to fill them in
with color.
thanks

Take a take a look at our MetaDraw control
MetaDraw is an ActiveX ( OCX) component which
you can use in your Delphi application.
You can set up MetaDraw to allow end-users to draw
with their mouse or you can create drawings by code.
To allow users to draw with their mouse is easy.
Just put some menu or buttons on your form and in
each button set MetaDraw's EditMode property to the
desired editing mode - line, rectanlge, ellipse, text, etc.
You can also set the EditMode to allow users to select
objects already drawn, and move, rotated or resize them.
To allow users to fill with a color, have them select the
shape ( editmode = select) and then have another menu
to allow them to pick the color - when they do, just set
the property CURRENT to Obj_Selected ( pointing to selected
objects ) and then set the FillColor property to the desired color.
If you want to draw by code, simply call MetaDraw's AddObject
method and specify the desired shape and coordinates. Then
set the FillColor property as desired
It's that easy.
You can then Save the entire drawing using MetaDraw's SavePicture
method, or Print using ExportDC. You can also allow Scrolling
and Zooming.
