產品概述 Overview

Enables Graphics User Interface (GUI) building for Embedded Systems

Human interaction with embedded devices continues to increase. Suddenly, we have the need for embedded systems to look like traditional desktop devices with full graphical user interfaces (GUI). Set-top boxes, medical imaging equipment, factory automation equipment and mobile phones all require a sophisticated user interface, which has created quite a dilemma in the embedded market. Most GUI programs are not tailored to embedded devices and are limited by their size or performance. Nucleus GRAFIX Windowing Toolkit is specifically designed to provide GUI-building capabilities that meet the design constraints faced by embedded developers today.

Designed from the ground up and a tightly integrated Nucleus component

Nucleus GRAFIX is a Nucleus-proper component. As a tightly integrated Nucleus component, Nucleus GRAFIX takes advantage of Nucleus services throughout and works with other Nucleus products seamlessly. It has been designed from the ground up for embedded systems. As a result, Nucleus GRAFIX includes all of our customer’s favorite embedded software features that are common to all Nucleus real-time software.

Enables embedded developers to design powerful and fast GUI applications

In designing Nucleus GRAFIX Windowing Toolkit, our goal was to create a GUI with the features that you need. Nucleus GRAFIX Windowing Toolkit contains the components commonly needed by GUI developers including text, lines, pull-down menus, dialog boxes, radio buttons, scrollable windows and icons. These features allow a developer to easily and quickly build a graphical interface that is suitable for embedded devices.

Highly modularized and portable architecture

Nucleus GRAFIX is modular and highly portable and contains three parts: the Windowing Toolkit, the Rendering Services and the Device Drivers. The Windowing Toolkit provides the tools to build high-level human interfaces referred to as the GUI (Graphical User Interface). The Rendering Services provide the facilities necessary for basic line drawing and text manipulation. This package provides the ability to draw lines, boxes, characters and symbols, fill polygons and include several other useful tools for preparing a complete presentation. The Device Drivers provide the interface to the hardware and provide an API for the input and output on the device. Nucleus GRAFIX is proven in many designs and provides all of the functionality you would expect from a full-featured windowing package.
