You don't need any components to manipulate your application's graphic objects. You can construct, draw on, save, and destroy graphic objects without ever drawing anything on screen. In fact, your applications rarely draw directly on a form. More often, an application operates on graphics and then uses an image control component to display the graphic on a form.
Once you move the application's drawing to the graphic in the image control, it is easy to add printing, clipboard, and loading and saving operations for any graphic objects. graphic objects can be bitmap files, drawings, icons or whatever other graphics classes that have been installed such as jpeg graphics.
