    Work is in progress (-:
    Thanks to tmoran@acm.org who wrote a useful categorization:
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
       I always have to wonder what people mean when they ask about
    "doing graphics". Do they mean

    o a graphic UI in the sense of Windows or Macintosh,
      in which case a "graphic library" is a binding to
      the Windows or Mac OS?

    o Pixar type photo-realistic rendering of complex scenes?

    o real-time dynamic displays as for a video game or
      visualization of a physical process?

    o a hardware-independent set of routines to draw
      straight lines and ellipses?
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
    For these, I am expecting further input from all of you
    in order to amend
