System.Drawing.Common 9.0.0-preview.3.24172.9
System.Drawing.Common
The System.Drawing.Common package allows .NET Core and .NET 6+ applications to access GDI+ graphics functionality.
This package is especially useful for porting .NET Framework applications that rely on the System.Drawing namespace.
Getting Started
To get started with System.Drawing.Common, install it using the NuGet Package Manager, the .NET CLI, or by editing your project file directly.
NOTE: If you are developing a WinForms application, you do not need to install the System.Drawing.Common package separately (to this end, you use the Sdk attribute for the Project element like <Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk"> in the .csproj or the .vbproj file and then specify <UseWindowsForms>true</UseWindowsForms>). This package is then automatically included as part of the .NET SDK for WinForms Apps, which means you can start using the System.Drawing namespace right away in your WinForms projects.
Usage
The following examples demonstrate some basic tasks you can accomplish with System.Drawing.Common.
Create a Simple Bitmap and Save it
C#
using System.Drawing;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
using (Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(100, 100))
{
using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bitmap))
{
g.Clear(Color.Red);
}
bitmap.Save("output.bmp");
}
}
}
VB
Imports System.Drawing
Module Program
Sub Main()
Using bitmap As New Bitmap(100, 100)
Using g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bitmap)
g.Clear(Color.Red)
End Using
bitmap.Save("output.bmp")
End Using
End Sub
End Module
