  • SixLabors.ImageSharp.Color
  • SixLabors.ImageSharp.PixelFormats
• CropRectangle: A universally compatible Rectangle class. Implicit casting between IronDrawing.CropRectangle and the following:
  • System.Drawing.Rectangle
  • SkiaSharp.SKRect
  • SkiaSharp.SKRectI
  • SixLabors.ImageSharp.Rectangle
• Font: A universally compatible Font class. Implicit casting between IronDrawing.Font and the following:
  • System.Drawing.Font

Using IronDrawing

​ Installing the IronDrawing NuGet package is quick and easy, please install the package like this:

PM> Install-Package IronDrawing

Once installed, you can get started by adding using IronDrawing to the top of your C# code.

AnyBitmap Code Example

using IronDrawing;
​
// Create a new AnyBitmap object
var bitmap = AnyBitmap.FromFile("FILE_PATH");
bitmap.SaveAs("result.jpg");
​
var bytes = bitmap.ExportBytes();
​
var resultExport = new System.IO.MemoryStream();
bimtap.ExportStream(resultExport, AnyBitmap.ImageFormat.Jpeg, 100);
​
// Casting between System.Drawing.Bitmap to IronDrawing.AnyBitmap
System.Drawing.Bitmap image = new System.Drawing.Bitmap("FILE_PATH");
var anyBitmap = image;
anyBitmap.SaveAs("result-from-casting.png");

Color Code Example

using IronDrawing;
​
// Create a new Color object
Color fromHex = new Color("#191919");
Color fromRgb = new Color(255, 255, 0);
Color fromEnum = Color.Crimson;
​
// Casting between System.Drawing.Color to IronDrawing.Color
System.Drawing.Color drawingColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
IronDrawing.Color ironDrawingColor = drawingColor;
​
ironDrawingColor.A;
ironDrawingColor.R;
ironDrawingColor.G;
ironDrawingColor.B;
​
// Luminance is a value from 0 (black) to 100 (white) where 50 is the perceptual "middle grey"
ironDrawingColor.GetLuminance();

CropRectangle Code Example

using IronDrawing;
​
// Create a new CropRectangle object
CropRectangle cropRectangle = new CropRectangle(5, 5, 50, 50);
​
// Casting between System.Drawing.Rectangle to IronDrawing.CropRectangle
System.Drawing.Rectangle rectangle = new System.Drawing.Rectangle(10, 10, 150, 150);
CropRectangle ironDrawingCropRectangle = rectangle;
​
ironDrawingCropRectangle.Width;
ironDrawingCropRectangle.Height;
ironDrawingCropRectangle.X;
ironDrawingCropRectangle.Y;

Font Code Example

using IronDrawing;
​
// Create a new Font object
Font font = new Font("Times New Roman", FontStyle.Italic | FontStyle.Bold, 30);
​
// Casting between System.Drawing.Font to IronDrawing.Font
System.Drawing.Font drawingFont = new System.Drawing.Font("Courier New", 30);
IronDrawing.Font ironDrawingFont = drawingFont;
​
ironDrawingFont.FamilyName;
ironDrawingFont.Style;
ironDrawingFont.Size;
ironDrawingFont.Italic;
ironDrawingFont.Bold;
