I don't personally use them but there are:
1) Vampyre Imaging library:
http://imaginglib.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=hom
2) BGRABitmap: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/BGRABitmap
3) AGGPas: http://www.crossgl.com/aggpas/aggpas-download.htm
and other, like Cairo.

Could you tell me how to use them? Thanks!

I think you'll have to find out by yourself.

Apart from that, your question is much too broad. Why do you want to
use all of them?

Wouldn't it make sense to first check their features and requirements,
match them with your requirements and select one?

Then read the instructions/manual, try to get it working and only then
ask "could you tell me..."

What somebody needs to know about how to use them will differ from
person to person based on skill level, knowledge, operating system,
requirements of application to be built, etc...
So unless you do a bit of research and tell us what you want exactly,
that question doesn't really make much sense...

Good luck.

Graphics library for what? Drawing or gaming? Even 3D?

I want light and fast, because gtk is slow and heavy enough

enoughBGRABitmap and Vampyre is faster than fcl-image from my
experience.

To be fair, TBGRABitmap is derived from TFPCustomImage, but has a
fixed way of storing colors (BGRA) and of course many routines base on
it.

By the way there is a wiki about graphics libraries here:

Afaik LazintfImage also does that (and should be faster than standard
tfpmemimage)
