System.Drawing.Common is deprecated on non-Windows platforms #21

Open safern opened 3 years ago

safern commented 3 years ago

Hello, I work on the .NET Libraries team, and I saw that this library has a lot of usage in the community and depends on System.Drawing.Common for xplat scenarios.

We made the decision to make System.Drawing.Common a windows only library starting .NET6+ due to a lot of reasons after a long discussion. You can see more details here: https://github.com/dotnet/designs/blob/a15a8c7a324c482c5e38b73e46c2afe56f6bd504/accepted/2021/system-drawing-win-only/system-drawing-win-only.md

Also: https://github.com/dotnet/docs/issues/25257

We wanted to reach out so that you could react to this changes when .NET 6 is released. Also if you have any questions/concerns please do let us know at https://github.com/dotnet/runtime

What is the recommended action to still support winforms/wpf scenarios for example?

You can mark the APIs that need to use System.Drawing.Common to support winforms/wpf as windows only using the SupportedOSPlatform("windows") annotation, and then add new APIs that use another library like ImageSharp or `SkiaSharp.

Thanks for sharing your concerns. We would like to share with you that we have already taken this scenario into account and have been working on replacing the System.Drawing.Commong dependency from Aspose.PDF for .NET. The task has been logged under the ticket ID PDFNET-50918 which has been linked to a thread in our official support forum where progress of this task can be tracked. We will surely announce in the linked thread as soon as the ticket is resolved.

Hello, @safern , could you please, look to Aspose.Pdf.Drawing library. It has no System.Drawing dependency.
