Image processing lets developers manipulate digital images to enhance, analyze, or transform them for many applications. With a wide range of tools, tasks such as filtering, editing, and recognition become simple. In this post we introduce a powerful image processing library for Linux‑based operating systems – Aspose.Imaging for .NET.
Image Processing Library for Linux
Aspose.Imaging for .NET is a cross‑platform library that creates, loads, processes, and manipulates images. It supports .NET Core, so you can use it on Linux‑based systems for image editing software, computer‑vision apps, or multimedia projects.
Let’s see how to set up this image‑processing library on Linux.
Using Image Processing Library on Linux
The sections below show how to install Aspose’s image processing library on Linux with different .NET versions.
Image Processing in .NET 7 based Linux Applications
.NET 7 is the latest .NET Core release, and Aspose.Imaging for .NET works seamlessly with it. Starting with version 23.6, you no longer need external dependencies like libgdiplus—a single Aspose.Imaging DLL handles all image operations on Linux.
From v23.6, Aspose.Imaging uses Aspose.Drawing as its graphics engine, removing the need for extra libraries. For optimal results, install the following fonts:
- Default fonts:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install fonts-freefont-ttf
- Microsoft fonts (optional):
sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
- Additional fonts:
apt-get update && apt-get install -y fontconfig fonts-wqy-zenhei
For .NET Standard 2.0, .NET Core 2.0, .NET Core 3.1, .NET 5, or .NET 6
When using Aspose.Imaging with older .NET frameworks, install these extra packages:
- libgdiplus package
- libc6-dev package
- Microsoft‑compatible fonts:
ttf-mscorefonts-installer(e.g.,sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer) - Additional fonts:
apt-get update && apt-get install -y fontconfig fonts-wqy-zenhei
