In Apple computer's OS X operating system, Quartz is the Quartz 2D and Quartz Compositor part of the Core Graphics framework.

This technology, introduced in version 10.2, is called Quartz Extreme, a component of Quartz.

This molecule has a crystalline structure.

Crystalline mono and di hydrates are known.

Presently, the name Quartz 2D more precisely defines the 2D rendering capabilities of Core Graphics (Quartz).

These are quartz crystals and feldspar.

In Mac OS X v10.4, Apple introduced Quartz 2D Extreme, which allows Quartz 2D to use supported GPUs for rendering.

Quartz Compositor is the compositing engine used by Quartz 2D and other renderers, such as OpenGL, Core Image, and QuickTime.

The original coral colored Silly Putty is composed of 65 dimethyl siloxane (hydroxy terminated polymers with boric acid), 17 silica (crystalline quartz), 9 Thixatrol ST (castor oil derivative), 4 polydimethylsiloxane, 1 decamethyl cyclopentasiloxane, 1 glycerine, and 1 titanium dioxide.

These are quartz crystals and feldspar, so most sand in the world on the mainland is made of quartz crystal and feldspar.

Rare gems include aquamarine, amethyst, emerald, quartz and ruby.

These elements shifted around a nested set of solid crystalline spheres.

And not just iridium it's filled with glassy spherules, and it's filled with quartz grains that have been subjected to enormous pressure shock quartz.

Mac OS X 10.4 also introduced Quartz 2D Extreme optional graphics processor (GPU) acceleration for Quartz 2D, although it is not an officially supported feature.

Quartz sparked enthusiasm among English speaking Twitter users, as well.

Seiko later went on to introduce the first quartz chronograph.

Quartz, for instance. That's what this valve is made of.

It is a white crystalline powder that is moderately soluble in water.

There is also amorphous carbon, which is carbon without any crystalline structure.

They were made of local materials such as slate and quartz.

Quartz 2D uses graphics contexts, environments in which drawing takes place.

Thallium azide, TlN3, is a yellow brown crystalline solid poorly soluble in water.

It's produced by the malaria parasite and it's a very interesting crystalline substance.

Quartz (and its renderer) were first demonstrated at WWDC in May 1999.

Separation of solid, crystalline matter from a solution, or the liquid or gaseous phases.

The drawing model utilized by Quartz 2D is based on PDF specification 1.4.

Prior to Mac OS X 10.4, QuickDraw rendering outperformed that of Quartz 2D.

All crystalline materials must, by definition fit in one of these arrangements (not including quasicrystals).

Any of these estimates would result in a total crystalline mass in excess of 5 kilograms.

With the release of Mac OS X 10.2, marketing attention focused on Quartz Extreme, the composition layer, leaving the term Quartz to refer to the Core Graphics framework or just its 2D renderer.

The most notable difference is that Quartz 2D eliminates output device and resolution specificity.

History Quartz 2D is similar to NeXT's Display PostScript in its use of contexts.

Mac OS X 10.4 rectified this, substantially increasing the standard rendering performance of Quartz 2D.

A more recent advance pioneered by Intel and ST Microelectronics allows the material state to be more carefully controlled, allowing it to be transformed into one of four distinct states the previous amorphic or crystalline states, along with two new partially crystalline ones.
