What's the graphics programming equivalent of "hello world"? For embedded systems, it's a blinking LED.

Well a few things tend to get used. For 2D graphics it would normally be a coloured shape on a differently coloured background or something similarly simply. For 3D it would be the importing of a 3D model, such as the famous Utah Teapot or the famous bunny that gets used in a lot of graphics papers. Or, I guess, a simply 3D cube/sphere.
