    This repository contains runnable C# samples demonstrating Aurigma GraphicsMill features. It’s organized by topic (Codecs, Drawing, Transforms, etc.).

    Codecs

    Samples demonstrating basic image encoding and decoding across supported formats. Shows how to read from and write to files and streams, and perform simple format transcoding. Includes minimal, focused examples suitable for integration into a pipeline API.

    ColorManagement

    These samples demonstrate working with color profiles and color spaces, including converting between CMYK, RGB, LAB, and Grayscale with and without color management. They cover assigning and retaining embedded ICC profiles, proofing with destination and target device profiles, and reading profile metadata without decoding full images. Channel operations such as adding, removing, splitting, and combining alpha and color channels are included, along with spot colors and extra channel handling.

    Drawing

    These samples demonstrate drawing primitives, text, and images using brushes and pens, and working with paths, clipping, and transformations.

    Interoperability

    These samples focus on interoperability with other .NET components and frameworks. They demonstrate exchanging image data with WPF (`BitmapSource`/`WriteableBitmap`) and System.Drawing, working through streams and byte arrays, and plugging in custom readers or writers when needed.

    Pipeline API

    These samples focus on processing very large images efficiently using streaming pipelines that avoid loading full bitmaps into memory. They demonstrate stripe‑based processing, splitting images into tiles, and composing flows with multiple sources and receivers. Scenarios include resizing, rotating, and cropping in a memory‑friendly way, tracking progress, and supporting cancellation for long‑running jobs.

    Metadata

    These samples show how to read and write image metadata, including EXIF, IPTC, XMP, and Adobe image resource blocks. They demonstrate preserving metadata during conversions and resizes, as well as performing lossless updates in formats like JPEG and TIFF. Examples cover extracting and embedding thumbnails and working with clipping paths stored as metadata. You can also access metadata without decoding full bitmaps and map fields to strongly typed structures where available.

    PSD format

    These samples demonstrate how to work with Adobe Photoshop (PSD) files. Topics include accessing layers, masks, and channels; reading visibility and blending modes; and extracting raster content as needed.

    Text

    These samples showcase various text rendering capabilities, including alternate layouts, multi-frame text flow, and color effects.

    Transforms

    These samples demonstrate common image transforms and filters including resize, rotate and flip, crop, and color or tone adjustments. They include brightness/contrast changes, tinting, bezier-based operations, and minimum/maximum/median filters for simple noise reduction.
