glitz: Glitz (An OpenGL image compositing library) glitz: glitz: Glitz provides Porter/Duff compositing of images and implicit mask glitz: generation for geometric primitives including trapezoids, triangles, glitz: and rectangles. glitz: The semantics of glitz are designed to precisely match the glitz: specification of the X Render extension. Glitz does not only implement glitz: X Render features like component alpha and image transformations, but glitz: also support for additional features like convolution filters and glitz: color gradients, which are not currently part of the X Render glitz: specification. glitz: The performance and capabilities of glitz are much dependent on glitz: graphics hardware. Glitz does not in any way handle software glitz: fall-backs when graphics hardware is insufficient. However, glitz will glitz: report if any requested operation cannot be carried out by graphics glitz: hardware, hence making a higher level software layer responsible for glitz: appropriate actions. glitz: Glitz can be used as a stand-alone layer above OpenGL but is also glitz: designed to act as a backend for cairo, providing it with OpenGL glitz: accelerated output. glitz: glitz: Packaged by Georgi D.
