What's in here
---------------
The package ColImage contains encoders and decoders for the JPEG, GIF,
and PNG formats that are compatible with VCL/C++Builder.
How To Use It
--------------
1. Load the Project Group Image
2. Build The LibImage Project
3. Build the ColImage Project
4. Copy ColImage.BPI, ColImage.BPL, ColImage.LIB to the appropriate
directories. The standard location are the C++Builder /LIB directory
for the .BPI and .LIB files and the /BIN directory for the .BPL file.
5. Select COMPONENT|INSTALL|ADD and add ColImage.BPL
At this point you should be able to use JPEG, GIF, and PNG files in
design mode. Try creating a project and add an image control to it.
If you double click on the Picture property in the object inspector
you should be able to load these new image formats.
To use these format in a project add the statement
LoadPackage ("COLIMAGE.BPL") ;
to your project's source module. Otherwise you may get errors messages
about undefined file formats.
*****A WORD OF CAUTION *****
----------------------------
When you build ColImage.BPI you cannot use the dynamic RTL. You must ensure
that the Project|Options|Linker|Use debug libraries is not checked.
