Currently that is: - preinstalled on all end-user Desktop GNU/Linux distributions - needs to be installed on MS Windows (note that Novell improves MS Windows support, so it's good and getting better and better) - needs to be installed on MacOS X and runs with the X server thing they provide (only) I repeat: It is NOT cross platform as in works-immediately-everywhere :) Hope that helps. cheers, Danny On 3/3/06, Danny Milosavljevic [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Am Montag, den 27.02.2006, 20:08 +0100 schrieb Marc Santhoff: Hi, is anoyone aware of a library or a (set of) componet(s) for pitchforking around some shapes, rectangles, elipses and the like and for creating connectors between this shapes?

Re: [lazarus] graphical shapes library or component
I am curious what you found in your search for visio like functionality. I am working with a group that is looking for something very similar.. but it needs to be cross platform.

For the time being it just reads a DXF file and is capable of displaying it... and I suppose it can also detect the mouse movement on the object (I never used this feature). If anyone is interested I will mail it gladly. May I ask which version of the DXF spec you are using? In the past I had a lot trouble with DXF, mostly because Autodesk isn't folowing their own definitions. Since Autocad 2000 or 2002 many files from qcad(2) cannot be read by autocad. If it would be possible to read in in the defective files and (re)write them again in a proper manner seen from within autocad, I would like to do some testing on it. My last actions with Delphi and DXF were based on the library written by a guy named John Biddiscombe dating from 1997, but I could not get in contact with him.

The library is the same you mentioned (John Biddiscombe 1997, based on earlier work from 1995 by someone else). I only used this in a soldering control software project where the PCB drawing were exported as DXF and read to the application using the library. The DXF format was chosen because someone in the company had already started the work using it. It worked, though, and I suppose a revised version is in use in some places even today. All I did was correct some small memory leaks but all my changes are in the final product which is closed source. I have the original library here at home, still and if/when I have the time I will have a look at it (or somebody else, if interested).
