How to Create a Bitmap in C#

This step-by-step tutorial guides on how to create a bitmap in C#. It has all the information to set the development environment to develop and test the application, and a runnable sample code to create BMP file in C#. You will also learn different options to customize the generated image with graphics and some text.

Steps to Create a Bitmap in C#

  1. Set the IDE settings to use Aspose.Drawing for .NET and Aspose.Drawing.Common to create a BMP
  2. Set the initial values for the position and text string along with a font
  3. Create or load an image using Bitmap class and initialize the Graphics object with it
  4. Set the shooting mode and background color in the Graphics object
  5. Draw an ellipse and a string using the custom parameters mentioned above
  6. Create a BMP file by saving the Bitmap object using the Save method

These steps define the process to make BMP file in C#. First, we need to create or load an image using the Bitmap class and use it for initializing the Graphics class object. We perform all the relevant operations using the Graphics object, for instance, setting smoothing mode, the background color, drawing a circle, rendering a string, and ultimately saving the image as BMP using the Bitmap class.

Code to Make Bitmap Image in C#

This sample code has demonstrated the process of creating a bitmap in C#. The Graphics class is used for drawing custom elements on the linked image using different properties and methods. You may add both Aspose.Drawing and Aspose.Drawing.Common from the NuGet package manager for the proper execution of the code.

This guide has taught us how using C# save bitmap to file task can be accomplished. If you want to learn adding some text to a PNG, refer to the article on how to add text to a PNG file using C#.
