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.

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:

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.
