The design of the Xr library is motivated by the desire to provide a
high-quality rendering interface for all areas of application presentation,
from labels and shading on buttons to the central image manipulation in a
-drawing or painting program. The existing X-based rendering infrastructure
-has provided barely enough capability to draw buttons and sliders. Moving
-from that to a complete rendering environment should serve to drive future X
+drawing or painting program. Xr targets displays, printers and local image
+buffers with a uniform rendering model so that applications can use the same
+API to present information regardless of the media.
+
+Moving from the primitive original X graphics system to a complete
+device-independent rendering environment should serve to drive future
application development in exciting directions.
