| | 5 | +## Introduction
|
| | 6 | +DXGL is a free replacement for the Windows ddraw.dll library, running on OpenGL. It is designed to overcome driver bugs, particularly in Windows Vista and newer operating systems. It also adds various enhancements to the graphics output such as display scaling and filtering options. DXGL supports the DirectX 7.0 graphics APIs, however it is currently under development and does not work with many programs.
|
| 6 | 7 |
|
| 7 | | -DXGL is a project to create a DirectDraw/Direct3D version 1 to 7 implementation that runs on OpenGL. It is intended to alleviate some of the graphics glitches inherent with using legacy DirectX interfaces on modern video cards. The API will be 100% binary compatible with the system ddraw.dll file.

| | 8 | +## GitHub Notice
