[Mono-aspnet-list] Requirements for System.Drawing usage under ASP.NET / Mono

[Pablo Ruiz]

And, the problem is isolated to running under ASP.NET? Have you tried
running the same code as a console app, so you can easily pass
enviroment variables as DISPLAY, etc.?

There are a couple of things no working/implemented on mono's
Sys.Drawing, and if so, you'll probably notice due to errors showing
up on stderr (or error_log on apache), but for normal use cases it
should work.

For more complex use cases I would recommend you using Mono.Cairo,
it's 2D API is very similar to Sys.Drawing, and it is available for
win32 too.
