The Starbase graphics library comes with your systems.  Starbase can be
used with the "sox11" driver to draw graphics via xlib calls or with
various device specific drivers which use "Direct Hardware Access", (DHA).
The DHA drivers can offer more features and higher performance than the
sox11 driver, but lack the device independence and network connection
support of the sox11 driver.  HP also has GKS and PHIGS graphics library
products that can be purchased separately.
