By adding the SynGdiPlus unit to your uses clause, some TGraphic descendants are registered in your application to load and save GIF, TIF, PNG and JPG pictures.
You'll have dedicated methods for drawing using the GDI+ library.
It'll automatically use the latest gdiplus.dll version available on your system (e.g. if you've Office installed under Windows XP).
The dll is dynamically linked: it can be used in Windows 2000, without SynGdiPlus: the program will start, but with no anti-aliasing drawing.
It also allows anti-aliased drawing from any TMetaFile: you can draw your User Interface using regular TCanvas methods (no code rewrite needed), then use this unit to render it using GDI+, for better aspect of your application.
