| Summary : OpenGL image compositing library
|
Description :
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.
Glitz can be used as a stand-alone layer above OpenGL but is also designed
to act as a backend for cairo, providing it with OpenGL accelerated output.
