Hi, Thanks to some excellent work from Giulio Berna, the support for BMP images in the FCL has been greatly improved (and as such should impact Lazarus)
- BMP Reader enhanced to full Microsoft specs: + support for 15,16 bit bitmaps. + support for strange color masks at 16, 32 bpp + rle4 and rle8 decoding + top-down stored bitmaps. + Palette behaviour changed: use palette at 1,4,8 bits. + Support for OnProgress event. - BMP Writer support: + BitsPerPixel property. + Writing at all color depths. + RLE8 and RLE4 compression. I have applied his patches, but am not in the possibility to test all these changes. If there are people out there which use a lot of images, I would welcome some feedback. More changes (dithering, quantizing) of images have also been implemented by Giulio, and will be committed soon. Kudos to Giulio Berna, Enjoy, Michael. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
