If I intend to containerize my project using Docker with Ubuntu and utilize the Bitmap class for specific functionalities, is the Bitmap class supported in a Linux environment, particularly Ubuntu?

Question

I am using Bitmap in my project to have some work on pdf but when i am trying to implement it in Docker i am using Linux there and it is not working in there .

Answer 1

Hello @Smruti R Sahu The Bitmap class is primarily associated with Microsoft's .NET Framework and is part of the System.Drawing namespace, which is specific to Windows. It relies on Windows Graphics Device Interface (GDI) functions for image handling. Since Linux does not have GDI, using the Bitmap class directly in a Linux environment won't work. If you're working with .NET Core or .NET 5+, you can consider some alternatives such as SkiaSharp which is a cross-platform graphics library. For Linux-based projects, you can also check out ImageMagick, OpenCV etc. as possible choices too. If the Answer is helpful, please click "Accept Answer" and upvote it.
