Azure RTOS GUIX

Azure RTOS GUIX feature

SMALL-FOOTPRINT

• GUIX only needs 13.2KB of flash and 4KB RAM for basic support, not including the memory required for a canvas.

FAST EXECUTION

• GUIX is written exclusively in C and is designed for speed. GUIX has minimal internal function call layering and GUIX provides optimized clipping, drawing, and event handling

SIMPLE, EASY-TO-USE

• The GUIX API is both intuitive and highly functional. The API names are made of real words. All GUIX APIs have a leading “gx_” and follow a noun-verb naming convention. Furthermore, there is a functional consistency throughout the API

• Multi-Line text input Multi-Line text button
• Slider pixelmap SliderSprite
• Vertical scrollbar horizontal scrollbar window
• Progress bar circular gauge
• Horizontal List radial progress bar

It is easy for the application to create its own customer widgets as well.

COMPLETE LOW-LEVEL DRAWING API

GUIX provides a robust canvas drawing API, allows the application to render complex graphical shapes. All functions support antialiasing on high color depth targets, and all shapes can be filled our outlined, including solid and pixelmap pattern fills. Drawing functions include:

• Line draw rectangle draw
• Circle draw ellipse draw
• Arc draw chord draw
• Pie draw pixelmap draw
• Pixelmap blend pixelmap rotate
• Pixelmap tile pixel draw
• Text draw text blend
• Polygon draw

DEFAULT FREE FONTS and EASY TO ADD MORE

GUIX provides a free set of TrueType fonts. Developers can add additional TrueType fonts as desired. The GUIX font format supports 8 bpp antialiasing, 4 bpp antialiasing, and 1 bpp monochrome fonts. For the most resource-constrained applications, GUIX prerenders the TrueType fonts to a compressed bitmap format using our GUIX studio desktop tool.

CUSTOM JPG and PNG DECODER IMPLEMENTATION

In addition to providing pre-conversion capability in the GUIX studio application, GUIX also provides a complete runtime JPG and PNG file decoder implementation. This implementation supports color space conversion, dithering, and runtime creation of GUIX-compatible pixelmap format images.

EXTENSIVE DISPLAY and TOUCHSCREEN SUPPORT

GUIX provides generic display drivers for nearly all color formats, including 1 bpp monochrome, 8 bpp palette, 8 bpp 3:3:2 format, 16 bpp 565 RGB format, 16 bpp 4:4:4:4 format, 32 bpp x:r:g:b format, and 32 bpp a:r:g:b format.

GUIX STUDIO DESKTOP WYSIWYG TOOL

GUIX studio provides a complete WYSIWYG screen design environment, which allows the user to drag-and-drop graphical elements used to build the GUI screens

COMPLETE WIN32 SIMULATION

GUIX runs on a Windows PC, using the same drawing library that runs on the target board. With GUIX, you can build and run a GUI application on the PC and use the same application code on your target for debugging, rapid prototyping, demonstration, and WYSIWYG target operation.
