ScaleRichView is a set of Delphi/C++Builder VCL and Lazarus (Free Pascal) LCL components for WYSIWYG editing (“What You See Is What You Get”), created basing on TRichView and RichViewActions. ScaleRichView uses TRichView engine for document rendering, but it repaginates, scales and draws pages in its own way.

Supported Lazarus platforms: Windows.

A document in ScaleRichView is accessible via hidden (or external) TRichViewEdit component, so you can use the same methods for document generation and editing as you use in TRichView. Headers, footers, endnotes, footnotes and text boxes are accessible in a similar way.

ScaleRichView is an addon to TRichView. In order to install ScaleRichView package, you need to install packages of TRichView and RichViewActions before. You can order ScaleRichView as a bundle “TRichView+ScaleRichView”, or later, after ordering TRichView.

The main features of ScaleRichView are:

support for almost all TRichView features;
WYSIWYG editing mode;
scaling;
real-time repagination;
