My modifications

• Free Pascal support.
  Required FPC version 3.0.2 or newer.
  Tested with FPC ver. 3.3.1 (trunk), 3.1.1, 3.0.4, 3.0.2. FPC 3.0.0 - fail!
• Support for older Delphi versions (XE2, XE3).
• New files: IGDIPlusHelpers.pas, IGDIPlusAPI_FPC.inc, IGDIPlusAPI_DCC.inc.
• New demo: Color Wheel
• Packages for Delphi XE2 - 10.3 Rio, Lazarus and CodeTyphon.

Installation

Delphi

In the packages directory you will find packages for Delphi XE2 - 10.3 Rio. Install the appropriate package (DPK file), then in the IDE options, add to the Library path directory with the IGDIPlus.pas file.

Lazarus

You have two options:

1. Recommended:
   Build and install the packages\Lazarus\lazigdiplus.lpk package.
   Open/create some project. In the Project Inspector add LazIGDIPlus to Required Packages.
2. Not recommended:
   In the project options, add directory with the IGDIPlus.pas file to the Compiler Options->Paths->Other unit files.

CodeTyphon

Proceed as in the case of Lazarus, only the file with the installation package is packages\CodeTyphon\lazigdiplus.ctpkg.
