Creating Custom Reports at Run Time

rbuser

With RB, is it possible to create reports entirely at runtime that include
lines, curves, text, etc? For example, are there any functions that accept
an array of TPoints that will draw lines between the points? Are there any
functions similar to MoveTo and LineTo that will allow you to draw any shape
you like? Anything that allows you to vary the pen weight and color for
drawing purposes? In other words, can I use RB to create reports that are
defined by TCanvas "like" methods?

Thanks,

Yes you can create a report at runtime:

There is an RB PaintBox component which gives you a canvas to create the
shapes that you want.
