The X Rendering Extension introduces digital image composition as the foundation of a rendering model within the X Window System. Rendering geometric figures is accomplished by client-side tessellation into either triangles or trapezoids. Text is drawn by loading glyphs into the server and rendering sets of them. This package contains the client library for connecting to a Xserver that supports the Xrender extension. This package is for use with older native X11 versions. The modular X.org version is in x11/libXrender.
