# UVAtlas - isochart texture atlasing

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=512686

Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

**August 15, 2020**

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 2017 ([15.9](https://walbourn.github.io/vs-2017-15-9-update/)), Visual Studio 2019, or clang for Windows v9 or later. It is recommended that you make use of the Windows 10 May 2020 Update SDK ([19041](https://walbourn.github.io/windows-10-may-2020-update-sdk/)).

These components are designed to work without requiring any content from the legacy DirectX SDK. For details, see [Where is the DirectX SDK?](https://aka.ms/dxsdk).
