How do I import MagickImage

Question

I found this example

using ImageMagick;

using (MagickImage image = new MagickImage("input.svg"))
{
    image.Scale(new Percentage(60));
    image.Write("output.png");
}

and added imageMagick via

dotnet add package Magick.NET.Core --version 8.3.3

I can't get it to compile, geting the error:

error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'MagickImage' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?

how do I fix this? What import/using am I missing?

Answer 1

For a .NET Core 3.1 app, using Visual Studio 2019, I used a specific build Magick.NET-Q16-AnyCPU v8.3.3 NuGet package, instead of the more generic Magick.NET.Core . Using Q16 I could build without errors. I'm not sure if NuGet is the same thing as running dotnet add package ... though.
