4 The latest version of GIL can be downloaded from https://github.com/boostorg/gil.
6 The GIL is a header-only library. Meaning, it consists of header files only,
7 it does not require Boost to be built and it does not require any libraries
12 The exception to dependencies-free rule of GIL is the I/O extension
13 which requires client libraries implementing popular image formats
14 like libpng, libjpeg, etc.
16 In order to use GIL, including ``boost/gil.hpp`` and telling your compiler
17 where to find Boost and GIL headers should be sufficient for most projects.
