There is no API present in All editions of Windows to to this (:-
Just to warn you. GDI+ is only present (if the user has not installed it) in
Windows XP. See:
;--------------------------------------------
Run-time Requirements
Gdiplus.dll is included with Windows XP. For information about which operating
systems are required to use a particular class or method, see the More
Information section of the documentation for the class or method. GDI+ is
available as a redistributable for Windows NT 4.0SP6, Windows 2000, Windows
98, and Windows Me. To download the latest redistributable, see
http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/psdkredist.htm.

In my opinion, we should use third party libraries for this, as we have been
doing until now.
