TsgCADImage

Unit: CADImage

Description

The TsgCADImage class is a superstructure of TsgDXFConverter and at the same time is a descendant of TGraphic. This is the base class type for the AutoCAD® DXF, DWG, DWF, Hewlett-Packard® HPGL and HPGL2, SVG and CGM graphic file objects.

Syntax

TGraphic class

TsgCADImage = class(TGraphic)
