Portable Bitmap Format

rbuser

Hi,

Version 14.08

is there way to get a DBImage or a Image to load a *.pbm format file.
Vendors provide logos in this format and I would like to try skip having to
manually reformat them as bitmap, jpeg etc.

Our reporting engine is compiled into an external dll so it must be done
from RAP or the designer

thanks
Darren

Hi Darren,

ReportBuilder supports the image types that are natively supported by
Delphi. (Bitmap, JPEG, Metafile, Gif, Icon, and PNG for D2009+). If you
would like to support other image types you will need to use a third
party library that descends from the TGraphic class.

GraphicEX is an example of a (free) library that appears to support the
.pbm format. Below is a link to their web site as well as an article
showing how to include a new image type into ReportBuilder.
