What is DtpDocuments?
====================

=======================

- Fully automated installer, installs DtpDocuments directly to
  the component palette
- New Auto-levels adjustment for (bitmap) shapes
- Rulers on top and left side
- Many smaller bugfixes and updates

Generic features:
================

- Provide your users with an easy way to edit documents or reports, move and
  rotate simply by dragging the shapes.

- Basic shapes that are supported: text, multiline memo, lines with arrow
  heads, polylines, ellipse, rectangle, rounded rect, metafiles (wmf/emf),
  rasterformats bmp, gif, jpg, jpeg2000, tiff and png, user-drawn freehands.

- Each shape can be rotated freely and can be alpha-blended on pixel level
  and shape level.

- Group shapes, provide anchors for specific group behaviour.

- Shapes support OnMouse/OnKey events, hints, animation, in-document
  editing, copy/paste, etc.

- Add effects, like shadow, color correction, gradients, and frames to each
  shape or group

- Superfast zoom on the document, using special caching techniques.

- Overlay the component over your own drawn code, using OnPaintForeground
  or OnPaintBackground.

- Multipage load/save, thumbnail view of pages, printing to any device.

- Transaction-based undo/redo

- Override shapes to draw your own. No need to implement alpha-blending or
  rotation code, since this is handled on lowlevel by DtpDocuments itself.

- Fullfledged demo editor (with source) that shows how to use the component
  suite.

Trial, DCU and Source version available. The demo editor executable that
uses this component can be downloaded too.

DtpDocuments is compatible with Delphi5, Delphi6 and Delphi7.
