It sure is possible!! :-) FPC is not limited to just business type applications. Computer Graphics is nothing more that mathematical formulas working with pixel data. Here are a few more examples of what was done with Object Pascal alone and Free Pascal compiler: http://aggpas.org/ It's a complete Object Pascal implementation of Agg, the Anti-Grain Geometry library originally written in C++. Agg-Pas doesn't use any external libraries, all Object Pascal code compilable with Free Pascal. http://www.kanzelsberger.com/pixel/?page_id=5 Then there is the GIMP or Photoshop clone - called Pixel32. It runs on something like 7 platforms, supports 32bit and 64bit OS's, and even sports Universal Binary for Mac OS X support. Free Pascal itself comes with a fpImage (part of the Free Component Library - FCL), which seems to be quite complete in graphics features - though I haven't used it myself.
