Solaris Graphics Libraries
Solaris graphics library packages are preinstalled on your system.
OpenGL (in the Solaris 7 3/99 and Solaris 8 software suites)
mediaLib (in the Solaris 7 3/99 software suite only)
OpenGL
The Solaris OpenGL software is Sun's native implementation of the OpenGL
application programming interface (API). The OpenGL API is an industry standard,
vendor-neutral graphics library. The version number of OpenGL you will see differs,
depending on which version of the Solaris software you chose at initial power on.
For a summary of the versions, see
Note – OpenGL requires a graphics accelerator card to operate, such as the
Creator3D, Elite3Dm3, and Elite3Dm6 devices. The PGX onboard graphics that are
the default in the system do not support OpenGL.
Getting Started With OpenGL
The runtime portion of OpenGL is already preinstalled on your system and no
instructions are required.
mediaLib
™
Note – mediaLib
is installed with the Solaris 7 3/99 preinstalled software only.
Sun has developed mediaLib, a low-level application library for building portable,
high-performance multimedia applications. mediaLib implements key algorithms
for linear algebra, image processing, video/audio, signal processing, and graphics.
Getting Started with mediaLib
For details about mediaLib software, refer to the documentation files installed on
your system in the following directory: /opt/SUNWmlib/doc/
Note – If you need to restore mediaLib, you can download it from the following
web site: http://www.sun.com/microelectronics/vis/mediaLib.html
