libs that do EFX for text?

[David Schwartz 415]

PowerPoint has a feature where you can "animate" the presentation of text being displayed on a slide. They have a few dozen options to choose from, with lots of variations. Spinning, dropping down, moving up, sliding from left or right, imploding / exploding, stuff like that.

 

What libraries exist that will let you do that when displaying large text on a Delphi form (on a Canvas)?

Should be pretty easy to implement with any of the libraries that can render text along a path. Image32, Graphics32, etc.

 

Are there any particular effects you need, or are you looking at what's available for now?

Is this something built into the VCL functions? If not, what libs will do it?

 

I'm just looking for an assortment of things to smooth the transition between displaying one phrase on-screen, then the next.

As far as I can tell there's a ton of old transition effects code on Torry.net. No guarantee that it works as-is with newer versions of Delphi though.
