Nucleus GUI
|
The graphical user interface (GUI) has become a key differentiator among today’s devices. Ease of use dominates the user’s preference in all aspects of a device’s design. With more embedded applications featuring full color LCD panels with a keypad or touch screen interface, the software requirements underlying these interfaces are extremely complex. The days of the simple text-based screen are gone. Today customer’s want to see clear, readable fonts, animated icons, complex menu schemes, full color maps, and smooth screen transitions. Developing the screens can be a task in itself, managing them from within an embedded application can be daunting. The Nucleus OS graphics components simplify the development of high-quality user interfaces with modular services that handle the details of hardware support, rendering, windowing, and more.
