Atom is a node-based image processing application.  It provides a user-friendly front-end
for creating nodes, dragging connections between them, and viewing previews of the image operation
at each node.  The front-end is written in C#/Gtk and the back-end is written in C++ using Magick++ for
some operations and SWIG for the C# wrapper.
<p>
Atom also allows you to define image processing networks with an external markup file.  This could be used, for example, to
generate image processing networks from external code.  Atom could then be called to run on images in batch using the generated
network.  <a class='ObviousLink' href='pages/Programming/Applications/Atom/doc/parameters.html'>Here is a one-page overview of the markup.</a>
</p>
<p>
Evaluation of the node network happens in dependency order, and sets of nodes on the same dependency level are processed on individual threads.  The UI
stays fairly responsive, and multi-core processors should benefit as well.
