ReTargetable Graphics

ReTargetable Graphics is a device driver API mainly used by third-party graphics hardware to interface with AmigaOS via a set of libraries. The software libraries may include software tools to adjust resolution, screen colors, pointers and screenmodes. It will use available hardware and will not extend the capabilities in any way.

The Amiga OS intuition.library is limited to 8-bit display depths, but RTG libraries make is possible to handle higher depths such as 24 bits, on Amiga there is two common API: Picasso 96 and CyberGraphX which are almost compatible with each other. Both of Picasso 96 and CyberGraphX required at least 4MB RAM and 68020 cpu to operate.

CyberGraphX

CyberGraphX (pronounced "cybergraphics"), is a ReTargetable Graphics API for the Amiga and compatible computer systems developed by Thomas Sontowski and Frank Mariak and later adopted by Phase5 for use with their graphics cards. Many other graphics card manufacturers that offered hardware for Amiga and compatible systems used it, as well.

+/- (band)

+/-, or Plus/Minus, is an American indietronic band formed in 2001. The band makes use of both electronic and traditional instruments, and has sought to use electronics to recreate traditional indie rock song forms and instrumental structures. The group has released two albums on each of the American indie labels Teenbeat Records and Absolutely Kosher, and their track "All I do" was prominently featured in the soundtrack for the major film Wicker Park. The group has developed a devoted following in Japan and Taiwan, and has toured there frequently. Although many artists append bonus tracks onto the end of Japanese album releases to discourage purchasers from buying cheaper US import versions, the overseas versions of +/- albums are usually quite different from the US versions - tracklists can be rearranged, artwork with noticeable changes is used, and tracks from the US version can be replaced as well as augmented by bonus tracks.
