CyberGraphX (pronounced "cybergraphics"), is the one of the standard retargetable graphics API available for the Amiga and compatible operating systems. It was developed by T.Sontowski and F.Mariak and later adopted by phase5 for use with their graphics cards. Many other graphics card manufacturers who offered hardware for Amiga and compatible systems used it as well.
Versions
The latest version is CyberGraphX V5 used in MorphOS. Its features include:
- Altivec accelerated
- Display Data Channel support
- Hardware accelerated operations for alpha blending, tinting, gradients, stretching
- PowerPC native, with support for AmigaOS drivers
AmigaOS version is no longer actively maintained and CyberGraphX V4 was the last Amiga release so far. AROS implements CyberGraphX V4 compatible API. There is Picasso96 (a rival RTG system) which is used in AmigaOS4 and implements CyberGraphX V4 API with some CyberGraphX V5 API extensions.
