+
+[section Overview]
+
+ToolBox provides some helpful extension for boost::gil that are too small to be an extension themselves. There are:
+
+* color spaces: cmyka, gray_alpha, hsl, hsv, lab, xyz
+* metafunctions: channel_type_to_index, is_bit_aligned, is_similar, is_homogeneous, get_num_bits, channel_type, get_pixel_type, pixel_bit_size
+* image types: indexed_image
+* color converters: gray -> rgba
+
+This extension will hopefully be added on by the community.
+
+This extension is header-only. To use the toolbox just include the boost/gil/extension/toolbox.hpp.
+
+[heading Folder Srtucture ]
+
+The toolbox tries to structure the small boost::gil extension into various folders. There is a folder for color_spaces, metafunctions, image_types, and color converters.
