...Agar is also extensible at the low-level. The low-level API is documented such that modular drivers can be written which enable Agar applications to work seamlessly under many platforms graphics systems without any change at the application level.

Designed for use in embedded devices the mGSTEP libraries implement a subset of NeXT's OPENSTEP specification which has evolved into Apple's Cocoa Objective-C frameworks. The internal graphics rasterization supports rendering to an X11 or Linux frame-buffer based GUI.

...Part of any good iOS application's user experience is fast, smooth scrolling, and Fast Image Cache helps make this easier. A significant burden on performance for graphics-rich applications like Path is image loading. The traditional method of loading individual images from disk is just too slow, especially while scrolling. Fast Image Cache was created specifically to solve this problem. In order to understand how Fast Image Cache works, it's helpful to understand a typical scenario encountered by many applications that work with images. iOS applications, especially those in the social networking space, often have many images to display at once, such as user photos. ...

...The implementation emphasizes performance, using caching and adjustable update intervals so you can trade accuracy for speed on older devices. It’s useful anywhere you want depth and hierarchy cues—overlays, modals, toolbars—without manually pre-blurring assets in a graphics editor.
