Compressed Tiff

rbuser

I am trying to print a compressed Tiff image I have stored in a
database. I can not find any way of doing this through ReportBuilder.
Has anyone done this before. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Nick

Hi Nick,

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Article: ReportBuilder Image Support
---------------------------------------------------------------------

ReportBuilder natively supports .bmp, .jpeg, .wmf, .ico image formats.

ReportBuilder has an open architecture that supports any TGraphic
descendant.

For example, ReportBuilder ships with a freeware component called GIFImage
that can be used with ReportBuilder to print .gif images. (see the main
report demo app for an example.)

There is another freeware component called GraphicEx that
supports several additional formats - including tiff, targa, and autodesk.

It can be downloaded from:

http://www.lischke-online.de/Graphics.php


ReportBuilder can easily support TGraphic descendants
with a simple register call.

Below is the code to our ppGIF.pas unit which
'uses' and registers the freeware GIFImage component.

end.
