    The class boost::gregorian::gregorian_calendar implements the functions necessary to create the gregorian date system. It converts to the year-month-day form of a date to a day number representation and back. 
  </para>
  <para>
    For most purposes this class is simply accessed by <link linkend="date_time.gregorian.date_class">gregorian::date</link> and is not used directly by the user. However, there are useful functions that might be of use such as the end_of_month_day function. 
  </para>
  <para>
    The <link linkend="date_time.examples.print_month">print month</link> example demonstrates this.
