<H2> 7.3 Graphics Drivers </H2>
<!--docid::SEC343::-->
<P>
The graphics system consists of two drivers:
</P><P>
<UL>
<LI>
2D Driver or Canvas
<P>
This component manages the low-level access to the screen. It supports
primitive functions such as drawing pixels and lines, text output and direct
access to the video memory. There are several implementations of this
component. All are specific to some 3D Rasterizer (for example, the OpenGL 3D
Rasterizer on Unix requires the OpenGL 2D XLib Driver).
</P><P>
<EM>Note</EM>: You need not load the 2D driver yourself. It is loaded
automatically by the according 3D driver.
</P><P>
<LI>
3D Rasterizer
<P>
This component is required by the 3D Engine but is also useful standalone.
This driver is used to draw 3d graphics and also 2D bitmaps on screen. It
automatically loads a 2D driver on startup. There are currently several
implementations of this component: Software, OpenGL, and Direct3D, as
well as debugging drivers such as Line and Infinite.
