  2. DESCRIPTION
-------------------

	HPGL stands for High Perfomance Geostatistics Library.
	HPGL was written in C++ / Python to realize some geostatistical algorithms (see full list below). The algorithms are called in Python, by executing the corresponding commands. 

	HPGL utilizes some open-source components including:
		1. modified version of GsTL (see \GsTL-1.3 folder)
		2. TNT (Template Numerical Toolkit)
		3. boost libraries boost (i.e. boost::python)


-------------------
  3. BUILD
-------------------

	1. *NIX systems:

	In order to build the HPGL you will need to install scons, gcc, g++, libgomp (OpenMP), python, and boost::python packages (or build them from sources on sources-based distributions).
	After doing that, just type "scons -j X" from the HPGL root folder, where X is the number of CPUs which you want to use in building.

	2. Windows

	First, you will need to build the boost::python library. How to do it see on the boost site (www.boost.org).
	You can build HPGL by starting scons script (like in *nix building), but if you have MS Visual Studio, use the "hpgl.sln" solution instead.

  4. LICENSE
-------------------

	For non-commercial use (research, education, etc) HPGL is distributed under GPL version 2 license.
