Mesa is an open-source implementation of the OpenGL specification.
OpenGL is a programming library for writing interactive 3D applications.

<h2>1.6 Are there other open-source implementations of OpenGL?</h2>
<p>
Yes, SGI's <a href="http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/index.html">

The SI was written during the time that OpenGL was originally designed.
Unfortunately, development of the SI has stagnated.
Mesa is much more up to date with modern features and extensions.

<h2>2.4 Where is the GLw library?</h2>
<p>
-GLw (OpenGL widget library) is now available from a separate <a href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/glw/">git repository</a>. Unless you're using very old Xt/Motif applications with OpenGL, you shouldn't need it.

-<h2>3.6 How can I change the maximum framebuffer size in Mesa's
-<tt>swrast</tt> backend?</h2>
-<p>
-These can be overridden by using the <tt>--with-max-width</tt> and
-<tt>--with-max-height</tt> options. The two need not be equal.
-</p><p>
-Do note that Mesa uses these values to size some internal buffers,
-so increasing these sizes will cause Mesa to require additional
-memory. Furthermore, increasing these limits beyond <tt>4096</tt>
-may introduce rasterization artifacts; see the leading comments in
-<tt>src/mesa/swrast/s_tritemp.h</tt>.
