    <p>I need a very simple function to draw a bunch of lines with anti-aliasing. It has to follow Delphi paradigm: self contained and SYSTEM INDEPENDENT (no DLL hell), fast, simple. Anybody knows such a library?</p> <p>Until now I have tried:</p> <p><strong>WuLine</strong><br> swissdelphicenter.ch/torry/showcode.php?id=1812<br> I don't think that the author of this code ever run it. It takes one second to draw a single line! It is obviously only for educational purposes :)</p> <p><strong>Anti aliased drawing from TMetaFile</strong><br> Link: blog.synopse.info/post/2010/04/02/Antialiased-drawing-from-TMetaFile<br> Haven't really tried this yet (I may do it soon). It works only with TMetaFiles. It only loads an EMF file and draw it using anti aliasing functions. Plus, much code on that web site is only demonstrational/educational.</p> <p><strong>Image32</strong><br> Very nice library - most complete until now. I might use it but it is overkill for what I need.<br> Disadvantages:<br> - The footprint added to application is pretty big.<br> - Really difficult to use.<br> - You need to go really deep in its obscure documentation even for simple tasks. - Demo code provided is way too complex.<br> - Buggy!<br> - No recent updates (to fix the bugs)</p> <p><strong>Anti-Grain Geometry library</strong><br> The library needs a decent installer. The writers of the library are Linux/Mac users. The Windows implementation looks weird. I cannot say something else about the library itself.</p> <p><strong>Xiaolin Wu's based function</strong> (by Andreas Rejbrand)<br> Just see few posts below. Andreas Rejbrand provided a very compact solution. Best solution until now. </p> <hr> <p>It looks like I have to explain why I don't like large 3rd party libraries and VCL's:</p> <ul> <li>you have to install them</li> <li>large library means large number of bugs which means</li> <li>you have to check for updates (and install them again)</li> <li>when you reinstall Delphi, you have to install them one more time (yes I hate installing VCLs)</li> <li>for VCLs, it means you have to load some extra icons in your already crowded palette.</li> <li>(sometimes) no support</li> <li>LARGE footprint added to your application size</li> <li>large library means (well not always but in most cases) difficult to use - more difficult than you need.</li> <li>(for external DLLs and API) your application becomes system-dependent - really nasty!</li> </ul>

    1. COThe interest of our SynGdiPlus library is that you can have your drawing code written in plain VCL TCanvas methods. Draw into a TMetaFileCanvas, then play it on a bitmap using our library. It's very fast, and works for much more than lines drawing. And footprint added to your application executable is negligible. You are welcome posting comments or questions about our library on our web site. And it's not only demonstrational/educational: it's used in real applications, for great rendering, with a lot of VCL TCanvas code (other programmers thought it was dot net drawing :)

    2. COGDI+ does fit my requirements (D7).

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
