delphi cartoon drwaing

I need an application so:
1) It loads a JPEG or BMP at the background (easy part)
2) User can add some pre-defned shapes (as comic strip ballon above the background) and texts
3) User can move/edit/delete this baloons and edit texts as well
4) User can save the whole work in JPEG


Is there an avaible component to make this work ?

Best regards

hello yarek , ,  I can not tell much from your statements in your question about the complexity of your  " pre-defned shapes " or the pixel size of these, and other factors that would affect this kind of operation, , but if you do not need photographic image detail in your " pre-defned shapes ", I would think that Meta file images (delphi TMetafile) would be the best way to do this, you can also do text as a TMetafile, , with TMetafiles you will not need to do masking for transparent drawing. . .  Have you used the TMetafile ?

the graphics 32 package is great for this :)

Overview
Graphics32 is a set of functions, classes, components and controls designed for high-performance graphics programming.

Being highly specialized for 32-bit pixel format, it provides fast operations with pixels and graphic primitives and in most cases Graphics32 considerably outperforms standard TBitmap/TCanvas classes.

The library comes with a full source code, documentation and examples.
