+Quick Start</title><shortdesc>The Graphics package provides Symbian devices with a means of visual
+communication. It is responsible for providing a system-wide interface with
+the physical display(s) and handles input events from physical input devices
+such as keypads and touch screens. </shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>
+<p>There are two variants of the graphics architecture in Symbian^3. These
+are referred to as <xref href="GUID-D93978BE-11A3-5CE3-B110-1DEAA5AD566C.dita">ScreenPlay</xref> (sometimes
+also called the New Graphics Architecture or NGA) and the <xref href="GUID-F64E6551-670E-5E12-8103-DE504D3EC94F.dita">non-ScreenPlay
+variant</xref> (sometimes called the non-NGA variant). The Graphics guide
+documentation covers both variants. When the documentation applies to only
+one variant, it is clearly stated at the top of the page. </p>

+<section id="GUID-7CED3F9D-72CC-4C2B-896A-68860CA9703E"><title>System Model</title> <p>The
+following diagram shows the Graphics package within the Symbian^3 System Model.
+The System Model is a high-level overview of the Symbian architecture. The
+components are grouped to show their relationships to each other. Within the
+Graphics package, components are grouped into collections, which are shown
+as white boxes in the diagram. The Graphics documentation is organized according
+to the System Model structure. </p><p>Although the System Model provides a
+useful way of grouping the large number of components that make up the Graphics
+package, it does not completely reflect the architectural relationships between
+the components. </p> <fig id="GUID-73E547BA-5AC2-5B10-8422-3B8BA28E2D40">
