| · | Add all kinds of shapes to the document: text, memo, bitmaps, metafiles, polylines, line segments, rectangles, squares, ellipses, etcetera. Have a look at the shape family for an impression.
|
| · | The DtpDocument component can hold more than one page and provides thumbnail support for all pages.
|
| · | The document (including all pages and all graphics) is efficiently saved as one file.
|
| · | Each shape supports free rotation.
|
| · | Shapes can be semi-transparent, on shape level (master alpha) as well as pixel level.
|
| · | All shapes can be grouped. Groups can be rotated and grouped again.
|
| · | The document can be printed.
|
| · | The document supports very fast zooming and scrolling. This is achieved through smart caching of the shapes.
|
| · | Each shape can be given a lot of different effects, among these:
|
| · | shadow,
|
| · | frame around shape,
|
| · | brightness/contrast,
|
| · | hue/saturation/lightness adjust.
|
| · | Shapes have floating point precision in contradiction to most other graphical engines that have only integer precision. The shapes can be very accurately placed and sized on the document.
|
| · | Shapes can have hints
|
| · | Text and memo shapes can be edited in-document (even rotated)
|
| · | The page settings can be done on document level for all pages or on page level.
|
| · | The DtpDocument component implements full undo and redo functionality, up to a configurable limit. It uses an efficient way of storing this undo information so that it does not have to save the complete state each time.
