The NPGL-X library offers a flexible, inexpensive solution to both software developers and users of 2-D and simple 3-D IRIS GL applications. NPGL-X, the X11 version of NPGL, allows IRIS GL 4.0 applications to be accessed remotely across a network from any color X server, including PCs without hardware acceleration. NPGL-X is well-suited for 2-D applications and 3-D applications that use wire frames or flat-shaded, non-Z buffered polygons. Gouraud shading and Z buffering are implemented through software rendering. NPGL-X supports DEC Alpha AXP, HP Series 700, IBM RISC System/6000, Silicon Graphics, and Sun SPARCstation workstations as X clients.
