The Mesa 3D Graphics Library
|
|
|
|
Disclaimer
|
|
|
|
Mesa is a 3-D graphics library with an API which is very similar to
|
|
that of [1]OpenGL.* To the extent that Mesa utilizes the OpenGL command
|
|
syntax or state machine, it is being used with authorization from
|
|
[2]Silicon Graphics, Inc.(SGI). However, the author does not possess an
|
|
OpenGL license from SGI, and makes no claim that Mesa is in any way a
|
|
compatible replacement for OpenGL or associated with SGI. Those who
|
|
want a licensed implementation of OpenGL should contact a licensed
|
|
vendor.
|
|
|
|
Please do not refer to the library as MesaGL (for legal reasons). It's
|
|
just Mesa or The Mesa 3-D graphics library.
