RE: [boost] VIGRA - Image processing for boost

Hi,

  This library looks cool. (I don't have to do any image manipulation at my
current job but I have in the past, and this library would have been
helpful.)

  Now for the criticism part. It's not clear to me when I look at the code
how to extend the library for other yet to be determined translators. Seems
like a policy issue, as in could be solved with policy classes. But then I
don't know that, and there is the combinatorial effect of knowing N to N - 1
translations, and adding N + 1.

  That said, it doesn't disqualify it for inclusion in boost. I tend to
regard all the libraries in boost as works in progress.

  Yours,
 -gary-

PS
 While I'm sure there are trademark issues with this suggestion, but its too
bad we couldn't call this library "VIAGRA", '(Computer) VIsion Associated
with GeneRic Algorithms' sort of fits with the "boost" theme. :>
