+UVAtlas - isochart texture atlasing

+
+This package contains UVAtlas, a shared source library for creating and packing an
+isochart texture atlas.
+
+This code is designed to build with Visual Studio 2010, 2012, or 2013. It requires
+the Windows 8.x SDK for functionality such as the DirectXMath library. Visual
+Studio 2012 and 2013 already include the appropriate Windows SDK,
+but Visual Studio 2010 users must install the standalone Windows 8.1 SDK. Details on
+using the Windows 8.1 SDK with VS 2010 are described on the Visual C++ Team Blog:
+
+<http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vcblog/archive/2012/11/23/using-the-windows-8-sdk-with-visual-studio-2010-configuring-multiple-projects.aspx>
+
+These components are designed to work without requiring any content from the DirectX SDK. For details,
+see "Where is the DirectX SDK?" <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee663275.aspx>.
