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