OpenGL’s relationship to OpenGL ES (3.0)
I’m beginning my journey into graphics programming and want to learn OpenGL. Because I’m green to graphics programming but not to C and C++, a familiar question came up when I looked at OpenGL and ES… Is OpenGL a superset of OpenGL ES? I read in an ES 3.0 guide that it uses shader-based implementations that exist as part of OpenGL’s embedded libraries, and that ES avoids using similar/redundant libraries provided by big ‘ol OpenGL due to mobile hardware limitations… Are shader-based implementations which are a huge part of OpenGL ES less efficient solutions when programming on the desktop? OR should I look at the two APIs as different beasts altogether? thx in advance.

Specific reasons why a top left origin is better/worse than a bottom left origin for computer graphics
I have been researching why the origins for most graphic applications are located in the top left corner of the screen. From everything I have read, they are located there because that is where the electron gun on a cathode ray tube would start to scan, from top to bottom.

Algorithm for sweeping a 2d shape along a curve?
I am trying to create a graphics application where the user can use an arbitrary shape as a “brush”, which will be swept along the drawing path. The shape may be transformed along the path (rotated, resized, etc).

Silverlight-based “area of influence” algorithm
I am in the process of developing a tool for a game called MechWarrior: Online which defines a map of an area of space called the Inner Sphere. Essentially, this map is a set of points (planets) on a Cartesian plane. Each planet can be owned by a different faction, typically represented on the map by a colour. I can colour the various planet points as different colours, but ideally what I’d like to do is show an area of influence (circle) for each faction by using something like a GeometryGroup to help with the simplification of the geometry object that using 2,240 points’ circles will produce before rendering it to a Silverlight Canvas.
