Graphics Software Support
The OpenGL, Starbase, HP PEXlib and HP-PHIGS 3D APIs are fully
supported on HP 9000 PA-RISC workstations and selected servers. This
software includes the run-time and programming environment packages
for the 3D graphics APIs named above, plus additional software for
technical computing environments.
The Graphics and Technical Computing Software is supported on all
PA-RISC workstations and servers. However, some functionality, notably
accelerated 3D graphics requires special hardware.
Graphics Hardware Support
In addition to the many existing graphics cards, HP-UX 11i now
supports the HP VISUALIZE-fxe card. This new entry-level, low cost,
full-featured 3D graphics card replaces the VISUALIZE-fx
2
card for 3D
applications and the VISUALIZE-EG card for 2D applications.
HP VISUALIZE-fxe provides 3D support for OpenGL, Starbase, HP
PEXlib and HP-PHIGS 3D APIs, with a full VISUALIZE-fx
2
-like feature
set. It also provides 2D features via the X server and Xlib comparable to
those of the VISUALIZE-fx
2
and VISUALIZE-EG products

• B180L (2D X libraries only; 3D supported only via VMX/VMD)
• B1000, B2000
• C3000, C3600
• J5000, J5600, J6000, J7000
