This paper describes and reviews the development stages of a graphics library, called by its developers GFX, and also summarizes its main characteristics. This paper also describes the core techniques used in the development stages of such library and all additional libraries required for the completion of the target functionality. It covers all aspects and requirements of a traditional graphics library as well existing solutions and their applications in the industry. The paper’s main objective is to explain and lay down the basics of a traditional computer graphics system as well as specifics regarding the actual library implementation. The authors of this project were motivated by the potential acquisition of knowledge and experience in this field and also the chance of developing a library which addresses some of the most common shortcomings in present day state of the art graphics libraries.
