This package contains UVAtlas, a shared source library for creating and packing an
isochart texture atlas.

The source is written for Visual Studio 2010, 2012, 2013, or 2015. It is recommended that you
make use of the Windows 8.1 SDK and Windows 7 Service Pack 1 or later.

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>.
