Presenter:

Title:
An Overview of Solaris XGL
Abstract:
XGL is a 2D and 3D graphics library available on the Sun workstations in the graphics lab, most notably the Sparc 20's. It resides directly above the display hardware and firmware and is intended to support higher level interfaces such as GKS, PHIGS and OpenGL. The talk will look at the elements of XGL, how XGL interacts with the X window system, and how a typical XGL application is structured. Some experiences from porting a simple application from OpenGL will also be related.
