TCustomImage.Canvas property

Declaration

property Canvas: TCanvas read GetCanvas;

Description

TCustomImage re-implements the read access specifier for the property to ensure that a drawing surface is available in Picture. When not assigned, a temporary TBitmap instance is created and used as the image class in the Picture property. The Canvas for the bitmap is used as the property value. If the TCanvas has already been assigned, the inherited Canvas property (from TGraphicControl) is used.
