If you want to call it that... (no, not really). If you want to do web searches, here's a few starting points: Graphics on Linux/Unix are based on either x-windows or opengl (evas is an example of a 2-d rendering system that will use opengl -- note that it's not ready for release yet). As I understand it, the Mac is another example where x-windows and opengl rendering are both used for desktop rendering. Java code typically uses awt or swing, each of which encapsulate platform dependent rendering code behind a rather ornate (but fairly portable) Java-specific object models -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
