'''General Graphics Interface''' (GGI) iswas a project that aimsaimed to develop a reliable, stable and fast [[computer graphics]] system that works everywhere. The intent iswas to allow for any program using GGI to run on any [[computing platform]] supported by it, requiring at most a [[compiler|recompilation]]. GGI is [[free and open-source software]], subject to the requirements of the [[MIT License]].

==Goals==

The project was originally started to make switching back and forth between [[Virtual console (computer user-interface)|virtual consoles]], [[svgalib]], and the X [[display server]] subsystems on [[Linux]] more reliable. The goals arewere:

*Portability through a flexible and extensible [[API]] for the applications. This avoids bloat in the applications by only getting what they use.{{Clarify|date=January 2009}}{{Citation needed|date=January 2009}}
