Merge into Graphics library article and category
I propose that this article be combined with Graphics library article, as this duplicates this list on that article, and some of the products listed on this article (such as OpenSceneGraph) would, I believe, be more accurately described as "Graphics libraries" then "graphics APIs," a term which is usually reserved for lower-level APIs like DirectX and OpenGL. The products listered here could also have the Category:Graphics libraries category applied to them, which could serge as the list in addition to those mentioned in the Graphics library article, since there are no descriptions or detail columns provided in this list article.

WebGL is not a 3D library (and other APIs)
source: https://webgl2fundamentals.org/webgl/lessons/webgl-2d-vs-3d-library.html

there should also be some clarity that only older versions of OpenGL are "3D libraries", and I don't think Direct3D counts as a 3D library anymore (it is now similar to Vulkan/Metal) Eteled286 (talk) 01:57, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
