Re:using GIFS in a database...
Bjorn,
Or better yet, jpeg's?
View, scale, rotate, print-
jpeg, gif, tiff, etc.
Try the Delphi component BEFORE you buy! Grab the DLL's, they have
component code.
For general information about or demo of these tools check out
http://www.jpg.com/toolbox.html
There are now some evaluation imaging toolkits available at
ftp://207.69.208.43/jpg.com/ImagN/
The IMAGN' 16Bit OCX IMWT160.EXE
THE IMAGN' 32BIT OCX IMWT32O.EXE
The IMAGN' 16BIT DLL IMWT16D.EXE
The IMAGN' 32Bit DLL IMWT32D.EXE
These are actual toolkits for evaluation. The cost on any one kit is
$299.00 with non commercial comp pricing available at $179. There are
no royalties on these kits currently.
For documentation on these tools check out:
OCX reference guide http://www.imagn.com/ocxdoc/ref1.htm
DLL reference guide http://www.imagn.com/dlldoc/ref1.htm
Contact me if I can be of any assistance.
best wishes,
jack
