GraphicEx is an addendum to Delphi's Graphics.pas to enable your application to load many common image formats. This library is primarily designed to load images as background (buttons, forms, toolbars) and textures (DirectX, OpenGL) or for image browsing and editing purposes as long as you don't need to save images. Currently only TTargaGraphic also supports saving an image. GraphicEx is open source under the Mozilla Public License (MPL). The sort of images which are included are similar to those which you might come across on a regular basis, and might be found anywhere from games played on Mobile Phones to Photoshop graphics and animation designs. Take a look below to find see the image formats which can be used in connection with this software.
