Does Firemonkey have an image manipulation library? Right now I'm doing everything with Canvases and it sucks.
I have a program which currently loads the image into a TBitmap, performs its operations, and then saves the TBitmap object out to a file.
The TBitmap interface however is not ideal. Among the problems...
- It silently scales down images which are larger than 8k pixels in any dimension, losing resolution on large .png files
- It scales the image whenever there are clipping issues with
DrawBitmapwhich is undesirable (I'd much rather it clip the output or just crash) - Rotating bitmaps is very hard to predict the output of and may scale the image.
I want a better option than canvas methods for image manipulation. I see there are units under Vcl.Imaging, but I can't find anything similar under the FMX units.
The operations I'm really looking for are just drawing lines, text, zooming, rotating, blitting to the display, saving, and loading.
