<h2>1.2 <a name="Objectives">Objectives</a></h2>

<p>
  The objective of this development was to provide a tiny windowing system in the
  spirit of X, but greatly scaled down and appropriate for most resource-limited
  embedded environments.
  The current NX implementation supports the general following, high-level features:
</p>
<ul>
  <li><b>Virtual Vertical Graphics Space</b>.
    Windows that reside in a virtual, <i>vertical</i> space so that it makes
    sense to talk about one window being on top of another and obcuring the
    window below it.
  </li>
  <li><b>Client/Server Model</b>.
    A standard client server/model was adopted.  NX may be considered a server
    and other logic that presents the windows are NX clients.
  </li>
  <li><b>Single- and Multi-User Support</b>.
    NX includes <i>front-end</i> logic to either a simple single-thread/single-user
    architecture or a separate NX server thread that can serve multiple NX client threads.
    In the single-user case, the NX <i>server</i> is simply a set of library
    calls;  in the multi-user case, NX is a server thread/daemon the serializes
    graphics operations from multiple clients.
    Other some unique start-up/connection logic, the APIs supported by the single-user
    and multi-user front-ends are identical.
    Providing both front-ends is consistent with the NuttX commitment to scalability.
  </li>
  <li><b>Minimal Graphics Toolset</b>.
    The actual implementation of the graphics operations is performed by common,
    <i>back-end</i> logic.  This back-end supports only a primitive set of graphic
    and rendering operations.
  </li>
patacongo's avatar
patacongo committed
  <li><b>Device Interface</b>.
    NX supports any graphics device either of two device interfaces:
    <ul>
      <li>
        Any device with random accesss video memory using the NuttX framebuffer driver interface
        (see <code>include/nuttx/fb.h</code>).
      </li>
      <li>
        Any LCD-like device than can accept raster line <i>runs</i> through a parallel or serial interface
        (see <code>include/nuttx/lcd.h</code>).
        By default, NX is configured to use the frame buffer driver unless <code>CONFIG_NX_LCDDRIVER</code> is defined =y in your NuttX configuration file.
      </li>
    </ul>
  </li>
patacongo's avatar
patacongo committed
  <li><b>Transparent to NX Client</b>.
    The window client on &quot;sees&quot; the sub-window that is operates in
    and does not need to be concerned with the virtual, vertical space (other
    that to respond to <i>redraw</i> requests from NX when needed).
  </li>
  <li><b>Framed Windows and Toolbars</b>.
    NX also adds the capability to support windows with frames and toolbars on
    top of the basic windowing support.
    These are windows such as those shown in the
    <a href="#screenshot">screenshot</a> above.
    These framed windows sub-divide one one window into three relatively independent
    subwindows:  A frame, the contained window and an (optional) toolbar window.
  </li>
  <li><b>Mouse Support</b>.
    NX provides support for a mouse or other X/Y pointing devices.
    APIs are provided to allow external devices to give X/Y position information
    and mouse button presses to NX.
    NX will then provide the mouse input to the relevant window clients via callbacks.
    Client windows only receive the mouse input callback if the mouse is positioned over a visible
    portion of the client window; X/Y position is provided to the client in the relative
    coordinate system of the client window.
  </li>
  <li><b>Keyboard input</b>.
    NX also supports keyboard/keypad devices.
    APIs are provided to allow external devices to give keypad information to NX.
    NX will then provide the mouse input to the top window on the display (the window
    that has the <i>focus</i>) via a callback function.
  </li>
</ul>

<h2>1.3 <a name="Organization">Organization</a></h2>

<p>
  NX is organized into 6 (and perhaps someday 7 or 8) logical modules.
  These logical modules also correspond to the directory organization.
  That NuttX directory organization is discussed in 
  <a href="#grapicsdirs">Appendix B</a> of this document.
  The logic modules are discussed in the following sub-paragraphs.
</p>

<p>

</p>

<h3>1.3.1 <a name="nxgl1">NX Graphics Library (<code>NXGL</code>)</a></h3>

<p>
  NXGLIB is a standalone library that contains low-level graphics utilities and
patacongo's avatar
patacongo committed
  direct framebuffer or LCD rendering logic. NX is built on top NXGLIB.
patacongo's avatar
patacongo committed
</p>

<h3>1.3.2 <a name="nx1">NX (<code>NXSU</code> and <code>NXMU</code>)</a></h3>

<p>
  NX is the tiny NuttX windowing system for raw windows (i.e., simple regions of
  graphics memory).
  NX includes both a small-footprint, single user implementaton (NXSU) and a somewhat
  larger multi-user implentation (NXMU as described below).
  Both conform to the same APIs as defined in <code>include/nuttx/nx.h</code> and, hence,
  are interchangable<sup>1</sup>.
  NX can be used without NXWIDGETS and without NXTOOLKIT for raw window displays.
</p>

<p>
  <sup>1</sup><small>NXMU and NXSU are interchangeable other than (1) certain start-up
  and intialization APIs (as described below), and (2) timing.  With NXSU, NX APIs
  execute immediately; with NXMU, NX APIs defer and serialize the operations and, hence,
  introduce different timing and potential race conditions that you would not experience
  with NXSU.</small>
</p>

<p><b>NXNULL?</b>
  At one time, I also envisoned a <i>NULL</i> front-end that did not support windowing
patacongo's avatar
patacongo committed
  at all but, rather, simply provided the entire framebuffer or LCD memory as one dumb window.
patacongo's avatar
patacongo committed
  This has the advantage that the same NX APIs can be used on the one dumb window as
  for the other NX windows.
  This would be in the NuttX spirit of scalability.
</p>
<p>
  However, the same end result can be obtained by using the
patacongo's avatar
patacongo committed
  <a href="#nxrequestbkgd"><code>nx_requestbkgd()</code></a> API.
patacongo's avatar
patacongo committed
  It still may be possible to reduce the footprint in this usage case by developing
  and even thinner NXNULL front-end.
  That is a possible future development.
</p>

<h3>1.3.3 <a name="nxtk1">NX Tool Kit (<code>NXTK</code>)</a></h3>

<p>
  NXTK is a s set of C graphics tools that provide higher-level window drawing
  operations.
  This is the module where the framed windows and toolbar logic is implemented.
  NXTK is built on top of NX and does not depend on NXWIDGETS.
</p>

<h3>1.3.4 <a name="nxfonts1">NX Fonts Support (<code>NXFONTS</code>)</a></h3>

<p>
  A set of C graphics tools for present (bitmap) font images.
  The font implementation is at a very low level or graphics operation,
  comparable to the logic in NXGLIB.
  NXFONTS does not depend on any NX module other than some utilities and types from NXGLIB.
</p>

<h3>1.3.5 <a name="nxwidgets1">NX Widgets (<code>NXWIDGETS</code>)</a></h3>

<p>
  I had originally planned a high level, C++, object-oriented library for
  object-oriented access to graphics <i>widgets</i>.
  However, C++ compilers are not available for some of the targets supported by NuttX.
  So I have decided to implement the entire solution in  C.
  That decision makes the solution somewhat more difficult to work with, but supports all platforms.
</p>
<p>
  At this point, the amount of C in the implementation would make conversion to C++ a
  more difficult job.
  I leave the C++ widget interface to any contributor who may have an interest in such things.
