Installation

Step1:

Extract the Img32 folder that contains the library's source into your file system using Windows Explorer.

Step2:

Option1: To install Img32 for use in multiple projects:
In the Delphi IDE menu, select:
Tools | Options | Delphi Options | Library
then choose your Selected Platform (eg 64bit Windows) and
add the location of the Img32 folder (Step 1) to both the Library Path and the Browsing Path.

Option2: To install Img32 for use in a single project:
In the Delphi IDE menu, select:
Project | Options | Delphi Compiler
then add the location of the Img32 folder (Step 1) to the Search Path

What, no components!?

The Image32 library does include one optional component - TImage32Panel. Nevertheless, the library has been designed so images can easily be drawn onto any object with a TCanvas (whether a TPanel, a TForm, a TImage or whatever).

uses Img32, Img32.Fmt.PNG;
...
// to draw directly onto panels, 
// expose TPanel's protected Canvas property
type
  TPanelWithCanvas = class(TPanel)
  end;

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
var
  img: TImage32;
begin
  img := TImage32.Create;
  try
    img.LoadFromFile('MyFavoriteImage.png');
    with TPanelWithCanvas(Panel1) do
    begin
      BevelOuter  := bvNone;
      Width       := img.Width;
      Height      := img.Height;
      img.CopyToDC(Canvas.Handle);
    end; 
  finally
    img.Free;
  end;
end;
