/*
This is an example illustrating the use of the GUI API as well as some
aspects of image manipulation from the dlib C++ Library.
This is a pretty simple example. It takes a BMP file on the command line
and opens it up, runs a simple edge detection algorithm on it, and
displays the results on the screen.
