Hi all,

In android architecture, there is a lib called sgl is in charge of 2D graphics.

I've googled. But it seems that sgl.sourceforge.net is not what I want to find.

Can someone tell me what is this lib? I'm familiar with other lib except this.

This is actually not true; SGL is unrelated to SDL.

SGL stands for "Scalable Graphics Library" and is the graphics subsystem used by Android. SGL is the low-level graphics library implemented in native code that handles rendering. It works in tandem with other higher-level layers of the framework (notably WindowManager and SurfaceManager) to implement the overall Android graphics pipeline.

where can we find some more details about SGL? Being a custom 2D
graphics library, will it be open sourced?

the link points to 'Scene Graph Library' which is for 3D data
handling, is it related to the SGL (referring to Scalable Graphics
Library by Dan) we are talking about ?
