custom shapes

[Gigatech]

I´m a Delphi 7 user. I need to use a TShape Object but I want to use my custom shape (like a triangle for example) with the same properties of the TShape Object. How can do that?

Thanks

I haven't used TShape or anything but one way I've drawn custom shapes for graphing purposes was by using LineTo and MoveTo routines to draw from point to point on a canvas. So basically you need to specify coordinates.

Don't know if this helps!

I think you can sub-class TShape and override the Paint method. You might want to re-implement the ShapeType property to include Triangle.
