    Hi Jay,

    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.html


    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.

    unit ppGIF;

    uses
    ppCtrls, GIFImage;

    initialization

    ppRegisterGraphicClass('GIF', TGIFImage);

    finalization

    ppUnRegisterGraphicClass(TGIFImage);

    end.
