What is CoreGraphics.dll?
Quartz specifically refers to a pair of echnologies, each part of the Core Graphics framework from Apple: Quartz 2D and Quartz Compositor. It includes both a 2D renderer in Core Graphics and the composition engine that sends instructions to the graphics card. Because of this vertical nature, Quartz is often interchanged synonymously with Core Graphics.
