Hi all,

I'm very new in Boost.GIL so I hope anyone could help me with my question.

Imagine several images all with identical dimensions (e.g. 10000x10000). 
All images form one huge "virtual" image. Because every image is very 
big (~ 50M) I couldn't copy them together to one image in memory. I want 
to perform some algorithms (e.g. x-gradient) over the huge image with 
GIL in a (hopefully) elegant way. The user should use GIL on the huge 
image "as normal" as possible. Does anyone know how I could handle this 
problem?

Regards

Franz
