This is a platform-specific library allowing other GrapeCity.Documents packages to work with system APIs on Windows. It provides support for font linking specified in the Windows registry, and access to native Windows imaging APIs, improving performance and adding some features.
$ dotnet add package GrapeCity.Documents.Imaging.WindowsImportant update: as part of our product rebranding efforts, this 7.2.3 version is the last release using the old GrapeCity.Documents package naming. Starting with version 7.2.4 and onwards, the package will only be released using the new package names below and this GrapeCity.Documents package will be phased out.
It is highly recommended to update to these new packages as soon as you can. Transitioning to the new packages has been simplified through the Documents Migration tool, conveniently included in the product trial download zip files available for the respective products:
Please note that despite the adoption of new package names, the APIs, namespaces, and type names remain unchanged. You will not need to modify your code. Only the package names and DLL names have been changed, just requiring updates to the new package references.
Existing subscriptions will continue to receive the new package updates. If you have any questions or need any assistance with this update, please contact our support teams. Please find the nuget package links for new packages below:
This is a platform-specific library that allows DsImaging (formerly GcImaging) and other Document Solutions (formerly GrapeCity Documents) to use Windows system APIs when running on Windows operating systems. It provides support for loading information about system font links and EUDC fonts from the Windows registry. It also enables the use of high-performance Windows Imaging Component (WIC) APIs for loading, saving, and transforming images in PNG, JPEG, JPEGXR, TIFF (including TIFF with JPEGs), BMP, ICO (loading only), GIF formats and rendering high-quality graphics and text based on Direct2D APIs.
This library is compatible with .NET 8, .NET 7, .NET 6, .NET Standard 2.x, .NET Framework 4.6.1 or higher.
All features are supported on Windows only. If referenced when running on other operating systems, this library will do nothing.
