Resource Adaptation Component</title><shortdesc>The Graphics Resource Adaptation component consists of a reference

implementation of the Graphics Resource adaptation layer. The reference implementation

has a number of compilation switches that generate minor variations of the

implementation for different GPUs, no GPU and the emulator. </shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

<p><b>Target audience</b>: Device creators.</p>

<note type="note">The Graphics Resource and Graphics Resource Adaptation components are deprecated in Symbian^3

and will be removed in Symbian^4 (S^4). However, new Graphics Resource Interface and Implementation

components are planned for S^4. The new interface component will provide a similar but

reduced API that is optimized for sharing images across processes.

 </note>

<p>Device creators must ensure that their Graphic Resource adaptations provide

the mandatory <xref href="GUID-29C7FBFB-2F33-58CA-86BE-978E3187E4D6.dita">image

compatibility guarantees</xref>. </p>
