Graphical User Interface Software
Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing PowerPC based graphics software products are based largely on the open-standard XWindows and OpenGL interfaces. This provides a consistent programming interface across the graphics product line, and ensures code portability to next generation graphics products. Applications that combine graphics and live video are supported with standard X11 extensions for managing the video. Intel/Windows and Solaris applications are also supported with their native graphics APIs. The Embedded Computing group works with leading RTOS and GUI tools vendors to support additional graphics interfaces and code generation tools.
