TEsShape
TEsShape is an analogue of TShape with advanced features such as:
- Anti-alisang support, which improves the appearance of the shape borders
- Opacity support
- New shapes like triangle, star, etc.
- Horizontal and vertical gradient support for brush
- You can set the corner radius for RoundRect
- You can turn the sides of the rectangle on and off (Top, Left, Bottom, Right)
- You can turn the corners of the rectangle on and off (TopLeft, TopRight, BottomLeft, BottomRight)
- There is also a Caption property for displaying text in the shape
- TEsShape uses the color from the current vcl style for standard colors
I suggest you to look at the Samples\Shapes\Shapes.dpr project to evaluate the new component!
(Samples\ShapesOld\ShapesOld.dpr for previous versions of delphi)
