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.

Folder Structure

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.
