Product Information

NexGenGUI4® is a high-end Graphical User Interface which includes NexGenGRAPH, NexGenDECODE, and NexGenWIDGET4®.
The heart of NexGenGUI4® is an event manager that manages any kind of event, sent either by the input or the widget driver. The event manager then processes and dispatches these events in a logical way.
A window manager, used to handle the window decoration, is also provided.

The basic graphical functions as well as the video driver are handled in NexGenGRAPH, whereas the widgets included in NexGenWIDGET4® are used to create the general look&feel.

NexGenGUI4® is carefully layered and is totally portable since it exports all its dependencies to NexGenOS®.
Each of the software modules that together constitute NexGenGUI4®, is customisable and thus the developer can choose exactly the features required for the user interface. Depending on the complexity of the wanted UI, the total memory footprint varies between 120 and 200 kB of code.

The NexGenGUI4® architecture is suitable for various embedded devices, like mobile phones, PDAs, and STBs as well as for industrial embedded devices.
As an example, see NexGenSURFon®, which has been built using NexGenGUI4® as the heart of its rendering engine.
