ImagePainter v.2.0.1 added

The ImagePainter component is a convenient starting point for creating applications that need to draw or manipulate images. ImagePainter is based on an object oriented concept that lets you add power to the component by creating your own drawing tools without deriving a new component class. In fact, this is an important goal of ImagePainter: being a platform where you can implement most any kind of figure or feature, without thinking about moving, copying, pasting, resizing, deleting, etc. -- all the core functionality you expect from an imaging application. It is already there as part of the ImagePainter framework

The ImagePainter comes with over 30 built in ready tot use tools, that is the basic GDI functions (line, ellipse, and so on), more than half a dozen of manipulation tools (BCS, Blur, Spray, Resampler, RGBMixer, HLS-mixer...), a grouping tool, different kinds of selectors ..

Version 2.0 is considerably strengthened and enhanced. The ImagePainter now supports color depths from 4 to 32 bit, alpha transparency, multi framed icon files and more.

Source has been tested on Delphi 2006-XE and should run on higher versions.
