Installation

Graphics32 supports Delphi 7, Delphi 2005 (Win32), 2006 (Delphi Win32 and C++), 2007 (Delphi Win32), 2009 (Delphi Win32), C++ Builder 6, Delphi XE and Delphi XE2. XE8, XE10

Note 1: For Delphi 2007 and up, function inlining is automatically used to improve performance. If this is undesirable, the {$DEFINE USEINLINING} compiler define statement can be commented out in GR32.inc.

Note 2: Because some properties of range bars and gauge bars have been changed, you will encounter a few error messages when opening projects compiled with earlier versions of Graphics32. These messages can safely be ignored since the Delphi compiler will automatically remove references to missing component properties in the DFM files.

 

As of version 1.9, Free Pascal / Lazarus is supported for platform independent development. So far this has been tested in Win32 and in OSX 10.4, but Graphics32 is likely to run on other platforms too. Graphics32 now also uses 64 bit processors instructions in time critical code when the operating system of the target application runs 64bit processes.
