What is WriteableBitmapEx?

WriteableBitmapEx

WriteableBitmapEx is a cool library that gives you extra tools for working with Silverlight's WriteableBitmap. If you're not familiar, the WriteableBitmap class came out in Silverlight 3 and is also on Windows Phone. It lets you play around with bitmap images directly, which means you can create quick images by drawing right onto them.

What’s Great About WriteableBitmapEx?

The WriteableBitmap API is pretty basic; it mostly just has the raw Pixels array for your image work. But here’s where WriteableBitmapEx shines! It adds easy-to-use extension methods that feel just like built-in functions and give you GDI+ style features.

Awesome Features of This Library

This library takes the standard WriteableBitmap class and supercharges it with fast and simple 2D drawing options. Plus, it has handy conversion methods and functions to combine or “blit” different WriteableBitmaps together.

How to Use It

The extension methods are organized into various CS files using a partial class setup. You can choose to include just a handful of methods by pulling in specific source CS files or get everything at once through the main library assembly. This makes it flexible based on what you need!
