Installing the IronSoftware.Drawing NuGet package is quick and easy, please install the package like this:
PM> Install-Package IronSoftware.System.Drawing
Alternatively, download directly from the official NuGet website.
Once installed, you can get started by adding using IronSoftware.Drawing;
to the top of your C# code.
using IronSoftware.Drawing; // 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(); bitmap.ExportStream(resultExport, AnyBitmap.ImageFormat.Jpeg, 100); // Casting between System.Drawing.Bitmap and IronSoftware.Drawing.AnyBitmap System.Drawing.Bitmap image = new System.Drawing.Bitmap("FILE_PATH"); IronSoftware.Drawing.AnyBitmap anyBitmap = image; anyBitmap.SaveAs("result-from-casting.png"); // Creates a Multi-page Tiff-style AnyBitmap from an Image array List<AnyBitmap> bitmaps = new List<AnyBitmap>() { AnyBitmap.FromFile("FILE_PATH_1"), AnyBitmap.FromFile("FILE_PATH_2") }; AnyBitmap anyBitmap = AnyBitmap.CreateMultiFrameTiff(bitmaps); // Creates a Multi-page Tiff-style AnyBitmap from a fully qualified file path array List<string> imagePaths = new List<string>() { "FILE_PATH_1", "FILE_PATH_2" }; AnyBitmap anyBitmap = AnyBitmap.CreateMultiFrameTiff(imagePaths); // Manipulate image frames int frameCount = anyBitmap.FrameCount; List<AnyBitmap> frames = (List<AnyBitmap>)anyBitmap.GetAllFrames;
