| TNGImage for Delphi/Kylix 1.3 |
|
G. Juyn / S. Price (479KB; Delphi/Kylix; includes packages for D3/4/5/6) - download contains libmng.dll 1.0.8-final (build 1124) This is a native Delphi/Kylix component for accessing the standard libmng.dll/libmng.so from within Delphi/Kylix. It is based on TGraphic and allows all the usual manipulating you would expect. You can display PNG/JNG/MNG images/animations with this component as well as write PNG or JNG images (with or without alpha-channel). It also includes a wrapper for the JPEG code inside libmng (Delphi only!), as well as access to the zlib functions (in libmng.dll or zlib.so). There's a separate FAQ specifically designed for users of this component. An older (Delphi-only) release is still available: TNGImage_1_00.zip (364KB) (This includes libmng.dll 1.0.3) |

| CxImage |
|
Davide Pizzolato (Win9x,NT,ME,2K,XP,CE, Linux) CxImage is a C++ class to manage virtually any kind of images. It can load, save, display, and transform images in a very simple and fast way. It is basically a C++ wrapper around a bunch of other image-libraries (including libmng). Though it was designed for the Windows platform it claimes to suppurt Linux as well now. |
| PajantImage |
|
Richard Morrey (Commercial; ActiveX for MSVC, MSVB, Delphi & BCB) PajantImage is a very small ActiveX Control (300k) that has some pretty impressive features that you can use in Microsoft Visual C++, Microsoft Visual Basic, Borland Delphi and Borland C++. It claims to support PNG & MNG. |

Jorrit Tyberghein (and hundreds of others) (LGPL; Linux, Unix, Windows, OS/2, BeOS, NextStep, OpenStep, Mac, DOS) Crystal Space is a free (LGPL) and portable 3D Game Development Kit written in C++ that's been available since '98. Recently it was extended with JNG read/write support using the infamous libmng. The added bonus is that it'll allow one to convert JNG from (or to) any of the other supported image formats. |
| kolMNG for Delphi - KOL 1.0-alpha1 |
|
G. Juyn (290KB; Delphi) - download contains libmng.dll 1.0.5-rc3 (build 985) This is a modified version of the TNGImage component above, that's specifically designed for the KOL library. KOL (Key Objects Library) is a full replacement for Delphi's native VCL, which produces much smaller binaries than it's counterpart. KOL is pretty basic and requires a bit more work, but the added MCK library makes it completely visual as well. A bit more coding with KOL over VCL can result in very small executables (as small as 25KB or less!). |
| SDL_mng |
|
Thomas Kircher (LGPL; MacOS X, Linux) SDL_mng is a library to load MNG files as an array of SDL_surfaces. It is written in C, requires libSDL and libpng, and works on Linux and MacOS X. |
