Compatible software for humans and processors.

PEG is a tool kit for developing GUI in an embedded system. PEG comes with the GUI library source code, a GUI development tool, and various drivers. The compact design makes it possible to use it even under strict hardware requirements.

Features and benefits

PEG has the following features and benefits:

* Works on environments with tight memory requirements or with CPUs under 100MHz * Supports non-standard display units * Supports Unicode (for Japanese and other Asian languages) * Compatible with bitmap fonts or custom fonts * Familiar Windows-like look and feel * Supports input devices like a soft keyboard and touch panel in addition to a regular keyboard and mouse * WYSIWYG development environment for simulating various screen sizes and colors * Sample drivers for various graphics controllers * Easy porting to a different target * Quick prototyping of an interface design * Simulation under Windows and X11 (Unix/Linux/Solaris)

PEG has the following convenient GUI development tools.

WindowBuilder

This visual design tool automatically creates source code for PEG windows and dialogs. * Creates customized windows and dialogs * Full support of WYSIWYG * Creates source code using the GUI library (C or C++) * Supports event-driven programming model * Drag and drop to import a custom font * BMP, PNG, JPEG, and GIF files can be imported * Supports dithering and subtractive processes

Back to Product configuration

FontCapture

This tool converts a true type font or BDF font to an PEG font. * Supports Unicode * Supports bitmap fonts * Supports scalable vector fonts - easily changes the font size or uses a normal, bold, or italic style. * Creates a C language data array * High speed * Optimal for small LCDs

ImageConvert

This tool converts a bitmap image to a format usable in ROM. * BMP, PNG, JPEG, and GIF images can be converted * Compresses a bitmap * Creates an optimized palette * Supports dithering * Creates C language source code

Back to Product configuration

* Supports various external/internal controllers * Comes with a template for a graphic controller driver - CPU independent - Can output colors from 1 bit/pixel (black and white) to 24 bits/pixel (TrueColor RBG) - Supports resolution from 1x1 to 65535x65535 * Supports graphic controllers with hardware acceleration * Primitive drawing can be called directly from an application
