Unreferenced date December 2009 A graphics library is a Computer program program Library computing library designed to aid in rendering computer graphics to a monitor. This typically involves providing optimized versions of functions that handle common Rendering computer graphics rendering tasks. This can be done purely in Computer software software and running on the Central processing unit CPU , common in embedded system s, or being Computer hardware hardware accelerated by a Graphics processing unit GPU , more common in Personal computer PCs . By employing these functions, a program can assemble an image to be output to a monitor. This relieves the programmer of the task of creating and optimizing these functions, and allows them to focus on building the graphics program.
