Technical Q&As: Graphics & Imaging
Quartz Services, a part of the Core Graphics framework, provides functions for the configuration and control of display hardware. The I/O Kit provides APIs that support the development of drivers and applications that access hardware. Developers can use these APIs to configure, control, and get information about display and other graphics hardware.
