RectangleF Extensions (RectangleF)

(Similar methods to Rectangle, for floating-point rectangles)

Size Extensions (Size)

• Center() - Get center point

Point Extensions (Point)

(Generated from T4 template - numeric operations on points)

FileInfo Extensions (FileInfo)

• GetIcon(bool smallIcon = false, bool linkOverlay = false) - Get Windows shell icon for file
  • Uses native SHGetFileInfo API

Custom Types

IBitmapLocker Interface

Format-specific bitmap pixel access implementations:

• ARGB32BitmapLocker - 32-bit ARGB (Format32bppArgb)
• RGB32BitmapLocker - 32-bit RGB (Format32bppRgb)
• RGB24BitmapLocker - 24-bit RGB (Format24bppRgb)
• RGB565BitmapLocker - 16-bit RGB 565 (Format16bppRgb565)
• ARGB1555BitmapLocker - 16-bit ARGB 1555 (Format16bppArgb1555)
• Gray16BitmapLocker - 16-bit grayscale (Format16bppGrayScale)
• RGB555BitmapLocker - 16-bit RGB 555 (Format16bppRgb555)
• Indexed8BitmapLocker - 8-bit indexed (Format8bppIndexed)
• IndexedBitmapLocker - 1-bit and 4-bit indexed (Format1bppIndexed, Format4bppIndexed)
• UnsupportedDrawingBitmapLocker - Fallback for unsupported formats

Each locker provides optimized pixel access for its specific format.

Color Spaces (System.Drawing.ColorSpaces)

A comprehensive color space conversion and comparison library with zero-cost generic abstractions.

Color Space Types

Distance Calculators (System.Drawing.ColorSpaces.Distances)

All calculators also have *Squared variants for faster comparisons.

Palette Search

using System.Drawing.ColorSpaces;
using System.Drawing.ColorSpaces.Distances;

// Find closest color in palette using perceptual distance
var palette = new[] { Color.Red, Color.Green, Color.Blue };
var index = PaletteSearch.GetMostSimilarColorIndex<CIEDE2000Distance>(palette, targetColor);

// Use any color space for comparison
var index = PaletteSearch.GetMostSimilarColorIndex<EuclideanDistance<Yuv>>(palette, targetColor);

// Cache lookups for repeated queries (e.g., image processing)
var cached = new CachedPalette<EuclideanDistance<Yuv>>(palette);
foreach (var pixel in imagePixels) {
  var paletteIndex = cached.GetIndex(pixel);  // O(1) after first lookup
}

Color Interpolation (System.Drawing.ColorSpaces.Interpolation)

using System.Drawing.ColorSpaces.Interpolation;

// Interpolate in perceptual Lab space
var lerp = new ColorLerp<Lab>();
var midpoint = lerp.Lerp(color1, color2, 0.5f);

// Create smooth gradients
var gradient = new ColorGradient<Hsl>(Color.Red, Color.Blue);
var colors = gradient.GetColors(10);  // 10 evenly-spaced colors
