I renamed this article from WiggleWin32 to WGL (software) because...

1. That is slang usage and Wikipedia articles are not supposed to be named with slang terms for things when a better name exists
2. I can't find any references that actually call it that
3. All of the other articles about the various GL interfaces are named by their acronyms.
4. Every single link to this page refered to it as "WGL"...except for the dab page Wiggle - which I have now fixed.

There is still a redirect from WiggleWin32 to this page - which I guess is harmless...but if anyone wants to nominate it for deletion, I would support.

"CGL, which is the Mac OS X interface to OpenGL and EGL". Is this true? CGL seems to be on OS X. Not iOS? Is it still for EGL also? comp.arch (talk) 23:59, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
