Boost GIL image constructors

Hi guys,

I'm currently trying to figure out how to use the Generic Image Library included in Boost. Right now, I just want to use the library to store pixel data and use the Image IO to write PNGs. I'm having trouble understanding just how to set up the object however.

The hpp says

image(const point_t& dimensions,
      std::size_t alignment=1) : _memory(0), _align(alignment) {
    allocate_and_default_construct(dimensions);
}

but I cannot find any references to point_t except a type_def for view_t::point_t to point_t.

Also, the tutorial found with the GIL seems to only include writing filters and generic algorithms, and thus each function example they provide has a source image view, from which they take the dimensions.

Am I going about this the wrong way? Or is there something I've missed completely?

Thanks in advance

Edit: I don't know if anyone cares, or has read this, but for the record, I just used the boost interleaved image function to create a PNG. It's not exactly the same solution, but it works for my applications.
