Imaging Toolkit for Delphi is a collection of VCL components for image processing and scanning. The TWAIN Toolkit for Delphi enables you to take full advantage of the more advanced functionality in the TWAIN standard, by making complex matters simple. With the TWAIN Toolkit for Delphi, you can easily acquire images from any TWAIN data source, whether this be a camera, scanner or document scanner. The VCL components includes: image file import and export filters, a thumbnail viewer for showing images stored in many different file formats. A data-aware control interfacing to databases. Scan documents and images from any TWAIN compilant scanner or camera. Components to print quality images and present an exact preview. Color format conversion, histograms, filters, geometric transformation, morphology and mathematical & logical image methods. And with the OCR module your application will "read" your images.

Image components
Two basic image components: a non-visual and visual, provides an easy way to handle images in Delphi. Additional information supplied with an image, such as resolution, author, description etc. is access and modified directly on the image component properties. The direct access to individual pixels or lines in the image allows for fast manipulations of the image data. Palette entries or the entire palette on all color-indexed images are easily modified. The way an image is displayed: centred, scaled, added background color etc. gives perfect control when presenting the image on screen. You can effortlessly Copy, Duplicate, Paste and Crop images, and insert one image section into another image. A dual image view component allows you to quickly implement dialogues showing pre- and post-processed images.

Images can be read and saved in several file formats:

GIF, Graphics Interchange File
BMP, Windows or OS/2 Bitmap
DIB, Windows or OS/2 DIB
JPEG, Joint Photographic Expert Group
PBM, Portable Bitmap
PGM, Portable Greymap
PNG, Portable Network Graphics
PPM, Portable Pixelmap
SGI, Silicon Graphics Image
TIF or TIFF, Tag Image File Format
TGA, Truevision Targa
PCX, Zsoft Paintbrush
Exif, Exchangable image file format

Implementation made Easy
You can now easily implement the TWAIN standard into any Delphi application with the TWAIN Toolkit for Delphi. By using the VCL components included in this toolkit, you'll be communicating with TWAIN devices in just minutes!

Advanced Functionality
The TWAIN Toolkit for Delphi allows you to take full advantage of the more advanced functionality in TWAIN by making the complex things simple. This power-packed toolkit provides all the functionality you will need for changing the acquisition properties of any TWAIN driver. In fact, writing code for negotiating with a TWAIN device is as easy as setting the values of any of the extensive list of properties that are part of the main VCL component!

Show or hide the TWAIN driver's user interface during acquisition.
Communication with TWAIN drivers is performed in threads, allowing your application to perform other tasks while scanning is in progress.
Control the number of images to record in a session.
Selection of one or more frames (sub-images) on a page to be acquire separatly.
Support for scanners Automatic Document Feeder and Duplex scanning mode.
The included report generator, is used to store all communication between your application and a TWAIN driver during the development and test phase!

Data Source
The TWAIN Toolkit for Delphi includes a Project Template for writing TWAIN drivers for your acquisition hardware. The template takes care of all low level TWAIN communication, hereunder the different image transfer mechanisms. Application requests, such as resolution and color changes, are forwarded via a few simple method calls to your TForm class.

STI - Still Image
The TmcmSTI component enables your application to register with Microsoft's Still Image system through which it becomes "push-button" aware. This means that when the button Scan, Fax or E-mail etc. is pressed on the scanner or camera, your application is automatically activated.
