Class AnyBitmap

A universally compatible Bitmap format for .NET 7, .NET 6, .NET 5, and .NET Core. As well as compatibility with Windows, NanoServer, IIS, macOS, Mobile, Xamarin, iOS, Android, Google Cloud, Azure, AWS, and Linux.

Works nicely with popular Image and Bitmap formats such as System.Drawing.Bitmap, SkiaSharp, SixLabors.ImageSharp, Microsoft.Maui.Graphics.

Implicit casting means that using this class to input and output Bitmap and image types from public API's gives full compatibility to all image type fully supported by Microsoft.

Unlike System.Drawing.Bitmap this bitmap object is self-memory-managing and does not need to be explicitly 'used' or 'disposed'.
