Assembled Project VGA graphics board Open Graphics Project prototype. Project VGA aims to create a low-budget, open-source VGA-compatible video card. [104] The Open Graphics Project aims to create an open-hardware GPU. The Open Graphics Device v1 has dual DVI-I outputs and a 100-pin IDC connector.
For scientific plotting applications, Gist is a scientific graphics library written in C by David H. Munro of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. [1] [2] [3] It supports three graphics output devices: X Window, PostScript, and Computer Graphics Metafiles (CGM).
Cairo supports output (including rasterisation) to a number of different back-ends, known as "surfaces" in its code.Back-ends support includes output to the X Window System, via both Xlib and XCB, Win32 GDI, OS X Quartz Compositor, the BeOS API, OS/2, OpenGL contexts (directly [7] and via glitz), local image buffers, PNG files, PDF, PostScript, DirectFB and SVG files.
The Computer Language Benchmarks Game (formerly called The Great Computer Language Shootout) is a free software project for comparing how a given subset of simple algorithms can be implemented in various popular programming languages. The project consists of: A set of very simple algorithmic problems
The algorithm is used for the processing of vector graphics and cartographic generalization. It is recognized as the one that delivers the best perceptual representations of the original lines. But a self-intersection could occur if the accepted approximation is not sufficiently fine which led to the development of variant algorithms. [3]
It also provides a graphics module for simple hardware acceleration of 2D computer graphics which includes text rendering using FreeType, an audio module that uses OpenAL, replaced by miniaudio as of v3.0.0, [5] and a networking module for basic Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) communication.
General-purpose computing on graphics processing units (GPGPU, or less often GPGP) is the use of a graphics processing unit (GPU), which typically handles computation only for computer graphics, to perform computation in applications traditionally handled by the central processing unit (CPU).
These APIs for 3D computer graphics are particularly popular: ANGLE, web browsers graphics engine, a cross-platform translator of OpenGL ES calls to DirectX, OpenGL, or Vulkan API calls. Direct3D (a subset of DirectX) Glide a defunct 3D graphics API developed by 3dfx Interactive. Mantle developed by AMD. Metal developed by Apple.
