I am writing a fairly involved drawing program and have very little
experience with graphics.  Could some persons here recommend some titles
that would help?  They need not be Delphi-specific though that would be
nice since I expect to use the VCL 100% so that this application can be
ported to Linux in the future.  I am at home with the Win API, just I've
never done much with graphics or fonts.  Thank you guys.  Seems like
there aren't many women Delphi programs for some reason.

OpenGL is also portable to Linux, takes advantage of hardware
accelleratation where available and is a graphics industry standard. My
book, Delphi Developers' Guide to OpenGL can ease you into computer
graphics. See link below.

VCL would still have to be converted to CLX when you port to Linux, but if
you upgrade to Delphi 6, you can start with CLX instead of VCL, and only
have to recompile when you port to Linux, with little or no code changes at
all.
Interesting. Where I worked for four years, until a few days ago, the
majority of our Delphi programmers are women. The group, men and women were
great. I was the only contractor. Unfortunately the acquiring company is
getting all their contractors from India now and getting rid of the others,
so I am looking for work all of the sudden.

Oops, 2D graphics only :(  sorry.  The app I am writing is definitely
2D.

I had better start paying more attention to the names in the newsgroups.  
Thought I only kept reading guys names.  Hope it turns out there are
more women Delphi programmers around than I realized.  :)

There are books covering general Delphi programming with 1 or 2 chapters
dedicated to graphics :
i have the book by Xavier Pacheco (i think its english name is "The guide to
Delphi 4" or something similar..) that has a good description of basic
graphics programming expecially with VCL :
For other books go to the site :

For many graphics programming examples go to :

For fast accessing bitmap examples see :

I don't know how many girls or women are there but i have often seen here
the posts by Therese Hanquet ...

Hi Francesco,

I also see regularly messages from Sue D. Nom, and sometimes by Deborah Pate
(Team B).

Pate
But is Sue D. Nom a real name? Certainly sounds like pseudonym.
