Hi Tomaz,

At this point I have added you request to my todo list. Envision has followed the VCL approach of deriving graphic classes from TGraphic for individual format, so to convert from one format to another this requires to graphic classes.

I am not sure how I could to this change effectively.

It also comes back to inheritance versus using attributes of an object. Sometimes I have notice OO programmers sometimes mix attributes with inheritance. For example, there could only be one graphic class, with a format property. Then you could have abstract reader/writer classes to read/write the formats. Unfortunately, right now this is not the way it is.

Best regards,

Michel
