1. A system for compressing data, comprising:

  • a server system including a processor and memory storing one or more programs executable by the processor, the one or more programs including instructions for;

    identifying by the server its available compression algorithms and the available algorithms available to the client;

    receiving by the server a compression algorithm selected by the client;

    receiving, at a graphics application on the server system, a command from a client, the command related to a graphics rendering operation of the graphics application;

    generating an application programming interface call for producing rendered image data in response to the command;

    modifying a parameter of the application programming interface call based upon a graphics difference between the client and the server;

    receiving, at the server system, a list of graphics processing capabilities of the client;

    merging, with a remote rendering control system, the list of graphics processing capabilities of the client and a list of graphics capabilities of the server system to create a merged list of graphics processing capabilities; and

    generating, using the merged list of graphics processing capabilities, a routine for converting graphics processing capabilities of the server to graphics processing capabilities of the client;

    performing the rendering operation using the modified parameters; and

    transmitting the rendered image data to the client for display.
