Image processing is a powerful and versatile field that involves manipulating digital images to enhance, analyze, or transform them for various applications. With the wide range of tools and libraries available, developers can easily perform tasks such as image filtering, editing, image recognition, and much more. In this post, we are going to introduce you to 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 image processing library to create, load, process, and manipulate images in your applications. With the support of .NET Core, Aspose.Imaging offers image manipulation capabilities for Linux-based operating systems. Whether it’s for image editing software, computer vision applications, or multimedia projects, Aspose.Imaging for .NET provides a robust platform for harnessing the potential of image processing.
Let’s have a look at how to set up this image-processing library in a Linux-based operating system.
Using Image Processing Library on Linux
The following sections demonstrate how to install Aspose’s image processing library on a Linux-based operating system with different versions of .NET framework.
Image Processing in .NET 7 based Linux Applications
.NET 7 is the latest version of .NET Core and Aspose.Imaging for .NET is fully capable of working with .NET 7 based applications. The major change we have brought in our image processing library (from v23.6) is, you do not need to install dependencies like libgdiplus. Instead, a standalone Aspose.Imaging for .NET DLL is enough to carry out the image processing operations in your .NET Core application on a Linux-based OS.
Since v23.6, Aspose.Imaging for .NET uses Aspose.Drawing as its graphics engine, which eliminates the need of installing any other supporting library or package. To further improve the image processing results while using Aspose.Imaging for .NET, we recommend you to install the following:
- Default fonts:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install fonts-freefont-ttf - Microsoft fonts (if necessary):
sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer - Other 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
For versions of Aspose.Imaging supported for .NET frameworks other than .NET 7, you need to install some additional packages, as listed below:
- libgdiplus package
- libc6-dev package
- package with Microsoft compatible fonts:
ttf-mscorefonts-installer (e.g. sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer) - package with other fonts:
apt-get update && apt-get install -y fontconfig fonts-wqy-zenhei
