The Boost Generic Image Library (GIL) is a C++ library that abstracts image representations from algorithms and allows writing code that can work on a variety of images with performance similar to hand-writing for a specific image type. ## Documentation - [Latest release](https://boost.org/libs/gil) - [Branch master](http://boostorg.github.io/gil/) (latest release with minor changes) - [Branch develop](http://boostorg.github.io/gil/develop/) See [RELEASES.md](RELEASES.md) for release notes. See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for instructions about how to build and run tests, examples. See [example/README.md](example/README.md) for available GIL examples. ## Requirements **NOTE:** The library source code is currently being modernized for C++11. The Boost Generic Image Library (GIL) requires: - C++11 compiler (GCC 4.9, clang 3.3, MSVC++ 14.0 (1900) or any later version) - Boost header-only libraries Optionally, in order to build and run tests and examples: - Boost.Filesystem - Boost.Test - Headers and libraries of libjpeg, libpng, libtiff, libraw for the I/O extension ## Branches The official repository contains the following branches: - [**master**](https://github.com/boostorg/gil/tree/master) This holds the most recent snapshot with code that is known to be stable. - [**develop**](https://github.com/boostorg/gil/tree/develop) This holds the most recent snapshot. It may contain unstable code. ## Community There is number of communication channels to ask questions and discuss Boost.GIL issues: - Mailing list [boost-gil](https://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-gil) ([archive](https://lists.boost.org/boost-gil/)) as well as official Boost lists, [boost-users](https://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users) and [boost](https://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost). - Gitter chat room [boostorg//gil](https://gitter.im/boostorg/gil). - [cpplang.slack.com](https://cpplang.slack.com) chat rooms [\#boost-user](https://cpplang.slack.com/messages/CEWTCFDN0/) and [\#boost](https://cpplang.slack.com/messages/C27KZLB0X/). - IRC channel [\#boost](irc://chat.freenode.net/#boost) on FreeNode. - You can also ask questions via GitHub issue. ## Contributing (We Need Your Help!) If you would like to contribute to Boost.GIL, help us improve the library and maintain high quality, there is number of ways to do it. If you would like to test the library, contribute new feature or a bug fix, see the [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) where the whole development infrastructure and the contributing workflow is explained in details. You may consider performing code reviews on active [pull requests](https://github.com/boostorg/gil/pulls) or help with solving reported issues, especially those labelled with: - [status/need-help](https://github.com/boostorg/gil/labels/status%2Fneed-help) - [status/need-feedback](https://github.com/boostorg/gil/labels/status%2Fneed-feedback) - [need-minimal-example](https://github.com/boostorg/gil/labels/status%2Fneed-minimal-example) Any feedback from users and developers, even simple questions about how things work or why they were done a certain way, carries value and can be used to improve the library. ## License Distributed under the [Boost Software License, Version 1.0](http://www.boost.org/LICENSE_1_0.txt).
