DirectX = The whole collection of APIs for different game-related tasks like DirectInput for input handling, Direct3D for 3D graphics, ... DirectDraw = 2D programming interface, now deprecated. Direct3D = 2D/3D interface offered by DirectX.
The OpenGL pipeline uses OpenGL and does not use DirectX at all. Because of this fact its able to work on so many operating systems whereas the D3D pipeline is limited to Windows-Systems only. lg Clemens [Message sent by forum member 'linuxhippy' (linuxhippy)] http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=246977 =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA2D-INTEREST".
