For 10.20:

The 3D graphics APIs (Starbase, HP PEX, and HP-PHIGS) for HP-UX 10.20 are all supersets of the versions supported on HP-UX 10.10.

Starbase, HP PEX, HP-PHIGS, and PowerShade now support X11R6 and two new graphics devices: HP VISUALIZE-EG and HP VISUALIZE-48XP.

For 10.0:

As of HP-UX 10.0, Starbase was no longer supported on the Series 800. However, it is still supported on the Series 700. In addition, three new graphics devices (VISUALIZE-8, VISUALIZE-24, and VISUALIZE-48) are available on Series 700 computers running the HP-UX 10.10 system. These devices are supported by the HP PEX, HP-PHIGS, and Starbase APIs.

HP-UX 10.x supports HP PEX 5.1, version 2, or "PEX 5.1v2" for short. HP PEX is an Application Programmer's Interface (API) that brings high-performance, full-featured 3D graphics through the X server to the HP 9000 Series 700 workstations.

The location of /usr/lib/libPEX5.sl changed at 10.0. The new path is /opt/graphics/PEX5/lib/libPEX5.1. You may need to add the following statements to your makefile:
