Hi Kai,

TDibGraphic is an abstract class, so you should create the derived class instead,

for example,

DibGraphic := TBitmapGraphic.Create;
DibGraphic.LoadFromFile( 'your.bmp' );

A TDibGraphic instance does not know how to read any format. In version 2 there is function,

function NewDibGraphic( const FileName : String ) : TDibGraphic;


which will create a TDibGraphic derived class that can read the format specified in FileName.

Best regards,

Michel
