.NET: Image Utility for SixLabors.ImageSharp v1.0

Manipulate images on Windows, Linux and MacOS machines including creating a scatter plot and histogram, and rotating the images as needed to display properly with a C# console application example.

This small utility library requires adding the NuGet SixLabors.ImageSharp package (version 1.0.4) to the .NET Core 3.1/.NET 6/.NET 8 Project. This is compatible with Windows, Linux and MacOS.

This has been re-worked for ImageSharp v3.0.1.

It can resize an image based on the number of megapixels or length by width and preserve the aspect ratio if so desired.

It rotates/flips the image based on EXIF data. This is to accommodate mobile devices.

It also creates scatter plots and histograms.
