Confusion between OPEN GL ES and EGL library

I was reading android source code in that I am not getting what does OPEN GL ES library do and what does EGL library do.?

Is there any relationship between this two libraries?

I have looked at http://www.khronos.org/opengles/documentation/opengles1_0/html/ but still not getting.

Solution

  • EGL is the interface between OpenGL ES and the underlying native display platform. It is used to create & manage rendering surfaces & graphics contexts.
