Mono shipped a reimplementation of the types in the System.Drawing namespace which uses GDI+ (note the +) on Windows. This reimplementation is also what CoreCompat.System.Drawing is based on. To my knowledge Mono did shim a few Windows APIs, mostly related to window messages so WndProc can be overridden in a useful manner, but not actually GDI, as far as I know.

And the implementation was buggy as hell. When I needed to resize pictures on mono + Linux I finally had to resort to manually building libgb, writing a simple wrapper for the resizing part, and use that, as back then every other alternative as either incomplete, or pain to use and/or buggy.

Note: libgd is a well designed native library with design emphasis on simple interop wrappability.
