title: C# Xamarin equavalant of System.Drawing
body: <p>I am trying to find the equivalent of System.Drawing for Android.</p>
  
  <p>As I found <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17112314/converting-uiimage-to-byte-array">Converting UIImage to Byte Array</a> but this seems to be only being used for iOS and within the xamarin docs is not much usefull to find <a href="http://androidapi.xamarin.com/?link=root%3a%2fmono-libs" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://androidapi.xamarin.com/?link=root%3a%2fmono-libs</a></p>
  
  <p>The only thing I try to accomplish is to convert an image to an byte[]</p>
  
  <p>I know ho to use this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>using (Stream stream = httpWebReponse.GetResponseStream())
              {
                  image = Image.FromStream(stream);
                  ImageConverter _imageConverter = new ImageConverter();
                  bytes = (Byte[])_imageConverter.ConvertTo(image, typeof(Byte[]));
                  height = image.Height;
                  width = image.Width;
                  size = image.Size;
              }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Also a possibillity for me is to get the image and being able to post it in an submit form to WS. In other words if I am able the get the whole image and post this I would be also happy.
  IF something is unclear let me know.</p>
