But this day is far away, I gather?
Perhaps BGRABitmap may be (partially) intergated into the LCL?

Anyway, the question was also about managing package dependencies --
TAChart already have, besides default TCanvas back-end,
AggPas, OpenGL and Printer back-ends, and SVG is planned.
Since these back-ends are useful to only a small part of users,
I do not want TAChart to depend on all these packages by default.
