Description

A descendant of TGraphicControl which uses the moon algorithms to calculate the view of the moon at a given date and time. Depending on the values of Date, MoonSize and Rotation the picture is calculated and painted; and also into the Icon property (in the size used as the default size for the current system). The background color can be set by the property Color or be transparent.

 

The full moon picture looks like this. Note the small red dot which marks the place where Apollo 11 landed - this is only visible if the date is set after the landing date of Apollo 11, and can be made invisble with the property ShowApollo11.
