-GammaLib is a self-contained, instrument independent, open source,
-multi-platform C++ library that implements all code required for
-high-level science analysis of astronomical gamma-ray data. GammaLib is
-also wrapped into a Python module.
-
-GammaLib does not rely on any third-party software, except of HEASARC's
-cfitsio library that is used to implement the FITS interface. Large
-parts of the code treat gamma-ray observations in an abstract
-representation, and do neither depend on the characteristics of the
-employed instrument, nor on the particular formats in which data and
-instrument response functions are delivered. Instrument specific
-aspects are implemented as isolated and well defined modules that
-interact with the rest of the library through a common interface. This
-philosophy also enables the joint analysis of data from different
-instruments, providing a framework that allows for consistent
-broad-band spectral fitting or imaging. So far, GammaLib supports
