EGL is an interface between Khronos rendering APIs such as OpenGL ES or OpenVG and the underlying native platform window system. It handles graphics context management, surface/buffer binding, and rendering synchronization and enables "high-performance, accelerated, mixed-mode 2D and 3D rendering using other Khronos APIs."[2] EGL is managed by the non-profit technology consortium Khronos Group.
The acronym EGL is an initialism, which starting from EGL version 1.2 refers to Khronos Native Platform Graphics Interface[3]. Prior to version 1.2, the name of the EGL specification was OpenGL ES Native Platform Graphics Interface[4]. X.org development documentation glossary defines EGL as "Embedded-System Graphics Library"[5].
