Interface Overview</title><shortdesc>The EGL Interface component defines the interface to EGL on the

Symbian platform. The component standardizes the source and binary interfaces

by providing header and LIB/DSO files for EGL users as well as DEF files for

EGL implementers. </shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

<section><title>Supported APIs</title> <p>The EGL specifications are defined

by the Khronos Group (<xref href="http://www.khronos.org" scope="external">www.khronos.org</xref>).

The following table provides links to the relevant specifications. </p> <table id="GUID-43D6B812-B4AB-506E-8159-61FA0DEC6F2A">

<section><title>Header files</title> <p>The EGL Interface component includes

the Khronos-released header file, <filepath>egl.h</filepath>, and <filepath>egltypes.h</filepath>,

which is the Symbian equivalent of the Khronos <filepath>eglplatform.h</filepath>.

Use of the header files supplied in the EGL Interface component helps to ensure

binary compatibility for applications across different Symbian platforms.

It also provides source compatibility between different operating systems.

These header files incorporate minor changes such as Doxygen tags (/** comments)

but these have no effect on the functionality. </p> <p>The header files are

provided for EGL 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4. The EGL 1.4 headers are used by default.

However, there is a variability point that can expose the headers for EGL

1.3 or 1.2 instead. </p> <p>The Symbian-defined header file <filepath>\epoc32\include\khronos_types.h</filepath> maps

the Khronos-defined basic types to native Symbian types. </p> </section>

<section><title> Library file</title> <p>The following library is provided

DEF files to further ensure binary compatibility between different platforms.

These files exist for the WINS and WINSCW emulator and ARM hardware platforms.

Although the names have a trailing 'u', this is not specified by MMP file

entries as it is appended to references automatically. </p> <p><b>DEF files
