OpenGL (OGL) Graphics API
Chapter 8 157
OpenGL (OGL) Graphics API
OGL provides both a runtime and a development environment for
applications using the OpenGL 3D graphical interface. In HP-UX 11i
Version 1.5 (B.11.20),
• there is no support for local graphics devices, only remote graphics
via network protocols will be available.
• native code Itanium-based libraries and executables will be provided
• no support for threads
No 3D graphics hardware will be available on any HP-UX Itanium-based
systems in the near future. Therefore device drivers that are normally
included in the OGL product will be omitted. Applications will be limited
to displaying 3D graphics remotely, over the network, to systems that
have graphics capability.
OGL Compatibility
No changes to source code will be necessary in applications. IPF native
code applications compiled on HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 (B.11.20) will need
to be recompiled in a subsequent release. When PA libraries and
executables are released, OGL applications currently running on HP-UX
PA systems will run on HP-UX Itanium-based systems without any
modifications.
