Does WIC or DirectComposition replace GDI+?

Question

I have a project that might involve some basic server side image creation (scaling, transforming, some text composting). In the past I've used GDI+ to do similar things, but Microsoft labels that as Legacy Graphics now and lists a few replacements such as DirectComposition and Windows Imaging Component.

I'm a little unclear of the distinction, so which of those (if any) is the best replacement for GDI+?

Answer 1

Direct2D is the replacement for GDI+.
