UsdImagingGLEngine why GL in the name?

Hi

UsdImagingGLEngine seems to be the entry point to render a usd scene, it can load and render with different renderer delegates if so why GL in the name? is it a typo from the past?

Thanks

Is it only a reference to a graphic library or is it an explicitly reference to opengl?
I'm curious, that's it

It's not a typo, but legacy. Originally it was an OpenGL imaging engine, but that got abstracted under the Hgi library. It's on our list of things to do to rename the class.
