[fpc-pascal] Looking for a suitable graphics library/component

[Anthony Walter]

Oh, you want a retained mode graphics system. That should be pretty easy to
write yourself.

Just write a class like TDrawable with a Paint(), HitTest(Point), and
Intersects(Rect) methods and derive from that to have your different drawn
types.

Keep a list of those items in your drawing surface.

Call HitTest(MousePoint) when the mouse moves over the drawing area and
track the hot/pressed/captured item.

When you surface needs to be painted, loop through the list and if
DrawableItem.Intersects(DirectRect) then DrawableItem.Paint().

I don't think you'll find a ready made system to accommodate all your
drawing needs.
