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 8bpp anti-aliasing, 4bpp anti-aliasing, and 1bpp monochrome fonts. For the most resource-constrained applications, GUIX pre-renders 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 1bpp 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 exactly 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.
