-long_desc="
- Glitz is a portable 2D graphics library that uses OpenGL to render hardware
- accelerated graphics. It supports many of the latest OpenGL features, such as
- efficient off-screen rendering using pbuffers. Rendering can be carried out by
- arbitrary OpenGL layers, thanks to glitz's extensible backend system.
-
- Glitz is designed to match the X Render Extension semantics and provides
- a general way for accelerating this imaging model. 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."
