                       Introduction to DrawKit Demo
                       ============================

This demo program was created very rapidly using Mobius DrawKit for Borland
Delphi. DrawKit is a native VCL component set written completely in Object
Pascal and all source code is supplied with the product. Since DrawKit is a
programmers toolkit, this demonstration is intended simply to show you *one* of
its possible uses. It is *not* intended to be a fully fledged drawing program,
simply a demo of what can be done using DrawKit. Please see file DKSPEC.DOC
or DKSPEC.TXT for further information about DrawKit.

The demonstration is a standard Multi-document Interface (MDI) Windows
application. It was created using the DrawKit MDI template which is supplied
with the DrawKit package. There is very little code involved, most of it being
inherited from the standard MDI template found in the Delphi gallery.


                            Instructions for Use
                            ====================

The demo behaves pretty much like any other drawing program. Hints are
displayed in the status bar rather than in popup hints to conform to the MDI
standard. However, this is completely optional - they may just as easily appear
as "flying hints" just beneath the buttons.

The toolbar has buttons for opening, saving and printing a file. There are
options for undo/redo and send to front/bring to back. There is also an option
that brings up an object attributes form to set line and fill styles. Try
opening the file DEMO1.DRW for a simple example of a filled SuperLine.

The tools are all pretty much self explanatory. However, a little explanation
is required for the SuperLine. With this tool you can draw single or multi-
segment lines and Bezier curves. Select the tool and click the mouse to create
nodes for the lines. To turn a node into a Bezier curve node, right click on it
and a popup form lets you select curve before, curve after, length and angle
options.

In a future version of the SuperLine tool, we will enhance the functionality so
that straight line segments are created when the mouse is clicked (as it does
now) but Bezier curves are generated when the mouse is dragged, giving the
impression to the user of 'dragging' the Bezier handle out of the point. This
will greatly speed up Bezier drawing.

You can save your masterpiece in one of three formats. The default DRW format
uses the Delphi streaming mechanism to save all the drawing objects. As such
it is an open format within Delphi and these files can easily be read or
written within your own Delphi code or embedded into other Delphi streams.

Alternatively, you can save a file in Windows Bitmap (BMP) or Metafile (WMF)
formats. Once saved in these formats, the file cannot be reloaded for editing
in the DrawKit demo. However, bitmaps and metafiles may be placed on a drawing
using the File|Place... menu option. Once placed, they can be freely stretched.

Purchasers of the product receive a free docking toolbar component. This has
been used in the DrawKit demo. To see this working, click and drag in the space
to the left of the undo toolbar button between it and the bring to front
button. This will drag out a set of buttons which can be dropped on the
docking area above the status bar at the bottom of the window or left floating.
