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>.
