Eventually we want to have all the high-level code documentation in the component API reference documentation. However, gi-docgen is currently missing support for mermaid so we just keep the files in `doc/` and link to them from `code-overview.md`.

# Code Overview
|
|
|
|
Mutter consists of four relatively distinguished and isolated parts.
|
|
|
|
## Cogl
|
|
|
|
Hardware acceleration pipeline abstraction layer. Handles things like allocating framebuffer, allocating, importing and drawing textures, internally using OpenGL. Originally a fork of [the Cogl project](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/cogl).
|
|
|
|
## Clutter
|
|
|
|
Compositing toolkit, containing an actor and render node based scene graph, and has features such as input event routing, transformation and animation. Handles compositing, both Wayland surfaces, X11 windows, and is the basis of the UI toolkit implemented by [GNOME Shell](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell). Originally a fork of [the Clutter project](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/clutter).

|

|
|
## Mtk
|
|
|
|
The Meta Toolkit containing utilities shared by other parts of mutter.
|
|
|
|
## Mutter
|
|
|
|
The display server and window manager library. Contains a X11 window manager and compositing manager implementation, as well as a Wayland display server implementation.
