 * \section over Overview
 * \par
 * IM is a toolkit for Digital Imaging. 
 * \par
 * It provides support for image capture, several image file formats and many image processing operations. 
 * \par
 * Image representation includes scientific data types (like IEEE floating point data) 
 * and attributes (or metadata like GeoTIFF and Exif tags).
 * Animation, video and volumes are supported as image sequences, 
 * but there is no digital audio support.
 * \par
 * The main goal of the library is to provide a simple API and abstraction
 * of images for scientific applications.
 * \par
 * The toolkit API is written in C. 
 * The core library source code is implemented in C++ and it is very portable, 
 * it can be compiled in Windows and UNIX with no modifications. 
 * New image processing operations can be implemented in C or in C++.
 * \par
 * IM is free software, can be used for public and commercial applications.
 * \par
 * This work was developed at Tecgraf/PUC-Rio 
 * by means of the partnership with PETROBRAS/CENPES.
