ImagePlayground.Gdi

ImagePlayground.Gdi is an optional Windows-focused GDI+ sidecar for image composition scenarios that need System.Drawing behavior.

This package is intentionally separate from the main cross-platform ImagePlayground package. It remains useful for desktop overlay and wallpaper scenarios, including PowerBGInfo-style rendering.

Supported Areas

  • Load, create, resize, and save images through GDI+.
  • Measure and draw text using Windows fonts.
  • Draw text with optional shadow and outline.
  • Draw basic lines, rectangles, ellipses, and filled shapes.
  • Compose one image onto another.
  • Access a configured System.Drawing.Graphics surface for custom rendering.
  • Legacy GDI+ chart helpers for small Windows-only scenarios.

For new chart rendering, prefer ChartForgeX. The chart helpers in this package are kept as lightweight legacy GDI+ helpers and are not the primary ImagePlayground chart engine.
