I'm just starting out with Lazarus having used Delphi a bit back when it was new (i.e. A Long Time Ago).
I want to create a blank bitmap, draw some text on it, and then copy sections of it onto an image control on a form. So I need a TImage on the form, and I'm guessing a TPicture in the form module's private section. But how do I set the dimensions of the TPicture? It's created with width and height of 0, and they're read-only properties. Is TPicture the right thing to use here? If so, how do I initialize it, and if not, what should I be using?
