The Pack GUI is dedicated to developers of Graphical User Interfaces. It provides software libraries and development tools to speed-up the UI design process from the specification initial step to deployment.
Development tools provided by the GUI pack sustain an Agile development process that remains one of the most important key factor for success to master when designing HMIs.
Graphical Libraries
Micro Widget Toolkit (MWT) is a high-level graphical library that relies on the MicroUI™ 2D graphic library
(see www.e-s-r.net web site to get the specifications).
MWT is useful for designing complex User Interfaces (UI) as it provides additional concepts such as layout, focus management, Look&Feel definition, navigation history, etc.
Widget Library
The pack GUI offers several widgets libraries and examples of look & feel renderers.
Look & feel (i.e. branding) are independent from widget designs: they can be completely redesigned without dealing with widget configuration that often leads to many limitations.
UI Tools
The StoryBoard Designer allows to prototype a GUI without Java code development. It is normally used in GUI early stage prototyping using graphic designer page screenshots.
The Font Designer tool allows to design custom fonts either from existing imported fonts or from scratch. Supported importation formats are ttf and png. Many font types such as propotional, fixed and symbol fonts are supported.
