Image Shop

If you interested in computer programming, but haven't tried Lazarus before then this example project is for you. In this example project we create our own visual node based image manipulation program using simple functions.
Source code and prebuilt binaries are linked at the bottom of this page

A Visual Node Based Image Editor

Students and seasoned programmers alike can try their hand at creating visual effects to manipulate images, and connect them together "Lego" style to create interesting new effects using our example project Image Shop.
Using a visual design surface users can drop effects onto a canvas and connect them together to create images. New images effects can be added by wiring effects together in different ways, or you can build Image Shop and write entirely new image effect functions
Below is a short video showcasing the node based editor program. It's meant to be a teaching application, allowing students to explore writing computer functions and visualize the results. If it interests you, then go ahead download the source code or final application below and give Lazarus a try.
