Abstract
A server computer hosts one or more application programs that are accessed by a client computer. Higher-level graphics commands describing graphics images are received from the application programs. The server computer determines whether the client computer is able to generate graphics using the higher-level graphics commands or generates graphics using relatively lower-level graphics commands. The server computer sends higher-level or relatively lower-level graphics commands depending on whether the client computer generates graphics using higher-level or relatively lower-level graphics commands.
