Image for EGL

EGL

EGL (EGL API) is an interface between graphics software and hardware, designed to manage how images and visuals are rendered on your screen. It acts as a bridge, allowing applications to create and connect graphics contexts and surfaces, such as windows or OpenGL rendering areas, in a hardware-agnostic way. EGL handles tasks like buffering, synchronization, and display connection, ensuring efficient rendering across different devices and systems. In essence, it helps software efficiently communicate with and utilize the graphics hardware to produce visual content smoothly and accurately.
