Installation
------------
     
      In the delphi IDE, choose Components-Install Component item from the menu, select 'ShapeImgCtrl.dcu' 
      and click OK. There should be a new tab in the component palette named 'MyComponents'.


Usage:
------

      1. Just drop the TShapeImgCtrl component on a form or a windowed-component(ex. TPanel).
      2. Click 'ImageInfo' property, then you can see subproperties or property-editor.
      3. Load a image (double-click the subproperty named 'Image', or click 'load-image' button in property editor).
      4. Select transparent color (selected the subproperty named 'TransparentColor' or click anywhere on the image
           with transparent color)
      5. (optional) select Mask-Mode.
            if 'MaskOut' property is set into True, or 'TransparentColor Remained' is selected in property editor,
            the portion of image with transparent color is not visible
      6. (optional) select AutoDragWindow.
            if this property is set to true, you can drag the control or form containing this component.
      7. (optional) select ShowImage.
            if this property is set to true, the image loaded is visible.

      * I strongly recommend to set borderstyle into bsNone !
      * In not only run-time but also design-time, you can see your changes directly !
