Graphics stack: Difference between revisions

This is close to most of the well-known graphics stacks, such as Microsoft Windows, MacOS, X Window System, and Wayland, though not identical to any of them. The order of layers may differ, some layers may be missing or merged together, and some may have additional layers or even multiple stacks (e.g., X Windows System has separate Client and Server Stacks, with their own Display Layers, and splits some aspects of the remaining stacks between the Server, which is the program requesting the display, and the Client actually doing the display - since the Client-Server relationship in X is potentially many-to-many, and even when it isn't different applications may need different degrees of control, several details cannot be specified byto belong to either the Server or the Client.)
