Errors while trying to use System.Drawing in .Net Core Console Application

Question

I am trying to create a Bitmap with System.Drawing.Common in a .Net Core Console Application running on Ubuntu 18.04, but as soon as I execute the code it will show me:

The type initializer for 'Gdip' threw an exception.
   at System.Drawing.SafeNativeMethods.Gdip.GdipCreateBitmapFromScan0(Int32 width, Int32 height, Int32 stride, Int32 format, HandleRef scan0, IntPtr& bitmap)
   at System.Drawing.Bitmap..ctor(Int32 width, Int32 height, PixelFormat format)
   at MidnightBot.Modules.AdminCommands.CreatePollAsync(String Term1, String Term2, String Description) in /home/MidnightBot/Modules/AdminCommands.cs:line 125
System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'libgdiplus': The specified module could not be found.
   at System.Runtime.InteropServices.FunctionWrapper`1.get_Delegate()
   at System.Drawing.SafeNativeMethods.Gdip.GdiplusStartup(IntPtr& token, StartupInput& input, StartupOutput& output)
   at System.Drawing.SafeNativeMethods.Gdip..cctor()

Also I tried to do what was described here. But without success.

Thanks for any help.

You need to install the gdiplus library using a package manager. For example:

sudo apt-get install libgdiplus
