OpenGL

OpenGL is a 3D graphics API. It is standard on Windows and Mac OS X, while on Linux it is available, but may not be already installed. See Mesa 3D Graphics Library for the latest Linux version.

J uses the API with cd DLL call and the J programmer has the same access as a C programmer. OpenGL drawing is done on an isigraph control with the opengl style.
