The x rendering extension (render) introduces digital image composition as the foundation of a new rendering model within the x window system. rendering geometric figures is accomplished by client-side tessellation into either triangles or trapezoids. text is drawn by loading glyphs into the server and rendering sets of them. the xrender library exposes this extension to x clients.

this package provides an unstripped shared object with debugging symbols, useful to provide a backtrace with symbol names in a debugger; this facilitates interpretation of core dumps, and aids in finding logic errors in programs using this library (or the library itself). the library is installed in /usr/lib/debug and can be used by placing that directory in the ld_library_path environment variable when the code to be debugged is executed. non-programmers will likely have little use for this package.
