ASP.NET Core: Image Utility Class for SixLabors.ImageSharp v3.0
Manipulate images on Windows and Linux web servers including creating a scatter plot and histogram, and rotating the images as needed to display properly with asp.net core web application example written in C#.
This small utility library requires adding the NuGet SixLabors.ImageSharp package (version 3.1.3) to the .NET 6/.NET 8 Project. This is compatible with Windows, Linux and MacOS.
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.
