  4. Bit blit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_blit

    The development of fast methods for various bit blit operations gave impetus to the evolution of computer displays from using character graphics to using raster graphics (bitmap) for everything. Machines that rely heavily on the performance of 2D graphics (such as video game consoles) often have special-purpose circuitry called a blitter.

  5. VPython - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VPython

    VPython is Open Source, and a part of the Python Library, combining the Python programming language with a 3D graphics module called Visual.. This library application allows users to create 3D objects, such as spheres and cones, and then display these objects in an app window.

  6. Python (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language)

    Despite claiming high performance, no tool can claim to do that for arbitrary Python code; i.e. it's known not possible to compile to a faster language or machine code. Unless semantics of Python are changed, but in many cases speedup is possible with few or no changes in the Python code. The faster Julia source code can then be used from ...

  7. cairo (graphics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cairo_(graphics)

    A library written in one programming language may be used in another language if bindings are written; Cairo has a range of bindings for various languages including C++, C# and other CLI languages, Delphi, Eiffel, Fortran, Factor, Harbour, Haskell, Julia, Lua, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, Rust, Scheme, Smalltalk and several others like Gambas (Visual Basic like).

  8. Python syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_syntax_and_semantics

    A snippet of Python code with keywords highlighted in bold yellow font. The syntax of the Python programming language is the set of rules that defines how a Python program will be written and interpreted (by both the runtime system and by human readers). The Python language has many similarities to Perl, C, and Java. However, there are some ...

  9. Immediate mode (computer graphics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immediate_mode_(computer...

    Immediate mode is an API design pattern in computer graphics libraries, in which . the client calls directly cause rendering of graphics objects to the display, or in which; the data to describe rendering primitives is inserted frame by frame directly from the client into a command list (in the case of immediate mode primitive rendering),
