.NET 8 Support for MaxiCode / UPS Barcodes

Open DSpirit opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Hey there,

first of all many thanks for this repository - we saved a lot of time using it. As time goes on, we are preparing to upgrade to .NET 8. However, as we serve UPS labels I stumbled upon the System.Drawing dependency using the Zint lib for Maxicodes.

I had a look into the code and recognized a strong dependency to the Graphics object in the MaxiCodeElementDrawer.cs, assuming this would be a breaking change for .NET 8.

Are there any plans / workarounds to continue viewing MaxiCode labels using .NET 8? Afaik the libgdi+ dependency won't be available for .NET 8 projects, so I was wondering if and how this project will handle future implementations.

Sorry if I'm mixing things up, I'm quite new to this topic.

System.Drawing dependency using the Zint lib for Maxicodes.

That is unfortunate. We may need to find an alternative moving forward.
