RasterSharp

RasterSharp is a .NET Standard library that enables developers to write cross-platform image manipulation and drawing code which does not depend on any particular graphics library. Using in-memory bitmaps as the only I/O, interoperability is easily achieved with all common graphics libraries.

⚠️ This project is pre-alpha and is not intended for public use

Principles

• Interoperable with popular graphics libraries:
  • System.Drawing.Common
  • SkiaSharp
  • ImageSharp
• Favor simplicity and interoperability over performance
• Targets .NET Standard 2.0 (supporting .NET Framework and .NET Core)
• No dependencies (minimizing security risk)
• Small code base (easy to review)
• MIT licensed (no usage restrictions)

Features

• Included functionality for applying colormaps to single-channel images
• Basic drawing operations (lines, rectangles, etc.)
• Built-in image operations (crop, resize, flip, etc.)
• Built-in image filters (blur, sharpen, etc.)
• Enhanced support for scientific images
  • Optional floating point pixel intensity
  • 5-dimensional image types (X, Y, C, Z, T)
  • Multi-dimensional image operations (projection, difference, etc.)

Not Features

• Rendering text using system fonts
• Anti-aliased drawing
• Hardware-accelerated graphics processing
