OpenVG library does 2D vector graphics with 3D hardware
,----[ Quote ]
| According to Mazatech, the AmanithVG graphics library implements the
| OpenVG specifications "entirely on top of" a pair of open standard 3D
| graphics APIs -- OpenGL 1.1 to 2.0, using extensions where available;
| and OpenGL ES (embedded subset) 1.1 and 2.0.

Open standards/protocols are becoming commmon. Only yesterday:
Introduction to COLLADA
,----[ Quote ]
| The fear is similar to that inspired by Microsoft and its many
| standards including DirectX and it goes like this: If data is locked up
| in a proprietary standard; if development is dictated by one company,
| how much control and ownership do creators really have?
|
| [...]
|
| The game development team at Sony developed COLLADA to facilitate file
| exchange but they quickly realized that a file exchange strategy is
| valuable in proportion to the amount of people able to use it and for
| that reason Sony took COLLADA to the Khronos organization to further
| develop it as an open source technology.
