What is GrafLight
-----------------
GrafLite is a Delphi component that serves as a graphic light indicator
to provide feed back to the operator of a Delphi program.  GrafLight 
is a descendent of a TImage component.  The color of a GrafLight may
be set at design time or at runtime.

Use of GrafLight in a statusbar is about the same as using the hourglass
cursor to let end users know that they should wait is the light is red,
to proceed with caution if the light is yellow, or to proceed if the
graflight is red.

Other uses of GrafLight could include displaying modem-like lights on
a status line for programs that use modem communications components.


Properties - at design time
----------
GrafLight has the same image component properties with one simple
additional property... ActiveLight.

The ActiveLight component can be set to the following in the Object
Inspector Dialog at design time:

alNone - gray or inactive light
alGreen - green or go active light
alYellow - yellow or use caution light
alRed - red or complete or warning light
alBlue - blue active light
alDarkRed - a dark red light

The graflight component may be sized to any size at design time, but 
it looks the best at about 24 pixels square or smaller.  The actual
picture size is 17x17 pixels.

The graflight may be place on a panel or statusline or on a form.


Using Graflight - at run time
---------------
The color of a graflight component may be changed at run time by setting
the graflight components ActiveLight property to any of the following:

alNone - gray or inactive light
alGreen - green or go active light
alYellow - yellow or use caution light
alRed - red or complete or warning light
alBlue - blue active light
alDarkRed - a dark red light
