In this tutorial, we’ll explore the process of displaying images using the library, providing you with detailed steps and examples.

Prerequisites

Before diving into the tutorial, make sure you have the following prerequisites in place:

• Aspose.Drawing for .NET Library: Ensure you have the library installed. You can download it here.

• .NET Environment: Make sure you have a working .NET environment on your machine.

Import Namespaces

To start, import the necessary namespaces into your project:

using System.Drawing;

Now, let’s break down the process into multiple steps.

Step 1: Create a Bitmap

Begin by creating a Bitmap object that will serve as the canvas for displaying the image.

Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(1000, 800, System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format32bppPArgb);

Step 2: Initialize Graphics

Initialize a Graphics object from the created Bitmap. This object will allow you to draw on the bitmap.

Graphics graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bitmap);

Step 3: Load the Image

Load the image you want to display. Adjust the file path accordingly.

Bitmap image = new Bitmap("Your Document Directory" + @"Images\aspose_logo.png");

Step 4: Draw the Image

Draw the loaded image onto the bitmap using the Graphics object.

graphics.DrawImage(image, 0, 0);

Step 5: Save the Result

Save the resulting image with the displayed image.

bitmap.Save("Your Document Directory" + @"Images\Display_out.png");

Now, you’ve successfully displayed an image using Aspose.Drawing for .NET!
