Hi, @Awkward!

Fascinating!

Best regards,

@wp:
I can't verify/read if Leledumbo did the actual conversion or that he (only) hosted it (and got the Lazarus converted version from somewhere else, see also https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,10277.0.html).

AFAIR, yes I did. Those Nice* components are quite well written that running through the Delphi conversion wizard already does 99% of the porting job. But still, I merely converted the component (and test it to work on my Linux), the honor still goes to Priyatna.

Leledumbo, I added you to the package as the one who ported the component to Lazarus.

In the meantime I also looked at the NiceChart and NiceSideBar components; they were  relatively easy to port as well, and I gave them a place on CCR (https://sourceforge.net/p/lazarus-ccr/svn/HEAD/tree/components/nicechart/, https://sourceforge.net/p/lazarus-ccr/svn/HEAD/tree/components/nicesidebar/) as well as some documentation in the wiki based on Priyatna's readme.html (https://wiki.freepascal.org/NiceChart, https://wiki.freepascal.org/NiceSideBar).

All these three components are high-dpi aware now, at least for the Lazarus versions. There are still some issues in non-Windows widgetsets. In due time, they will be submitted to OPM (sorry, I submitted NiceGrid too early, it still requires some work).

After having contacted Priyatna he sent me an answer today:

I'm glad that someone can still make a good use of it.

As for my website, I've taken it down, because Google marked it as "Not Safe" with red bar in Chrome. Maybe because I offer executables on it, although they are clean from malwares. Nevertheless, this makes me uncomfortable.

I have a plan to move all my codes and some newer ones to Github. I'll let you know when it's available.

So, in the end, it's a bit unclear whether the components will remain on CCR.

Hello wp,

Could you please rename BSplines unit in NiceChart package?

It conflicts with the same named unit from pl_excontrols OPM package, so these packages can not be installed together. I would have renamed one in pl_excontrols, but it is not mine and coming from CodeTyphon always with the same name in new versions, so it is out of my reach.

[wp]

I renamed the unit to NiceSplines, updated the package, uploaded it to svn and asked for an update in OPM. The new version of TNiceChart will be 2.0.1.

[wp]

The new version is in OPM now.

Thanks wp! NiceChart now behaves nicely

I have just taken a look at the SourceForge for NiceChart.
The Readme.html seems to be the original Readme. It is good to have the original Readme preserved.
Could it be renamed to Readme_Original ?

The other problem, for me, is that for me to easily read it I had to save the file and view it in a browser. This is because all the html code is visible.

Perhaps the Version History could be updated?
