Fast 3D Graphics
Most Silicon Graphics systems are equipped with specialized graphics hardware and software. Programs can take advantage of this graphics support by using:
- OpenGL interfaces--the industry standard interfaces for 3D rendering across multiple platforms
- Open Inventor(TM)--a graphics library, built on OpenGL, for creating interactive graphics applications
- IRIS Graphics Library(TM) (IRIS GL)--a library of subroutines for creating color graphics and animation
- IRIS Performer(TM)--a graphics library, built on IRIS GL, for creating real-time graphics and visual simulation applications
- ImageVision Library(TM)--an image processing library built on IRIS GL
"Graphics Libraries" and "ImageVision Library" describe these libraries in greater detail.
