<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>
<li><b>Framebuffer Device Interface</b>.
NX supports any graphics device using the NuttX framebuffer <i>driver</i>
interface.
(However, the dependency of NX on framebuffer drivers is minimal and the
logic could be extended to other interfaces -- such as a serial LCD -- with
some minimal effort).
<li><b>Transparent to NX Client</b>.
The window client on "sees" 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>
<center><img src="NXOrganization.gif" width="60%"></center>
</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
direct framebuffer rendering logic. NX is built on top NXGLIB.
</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
at all but, rather, simply provided the entire framebuffer memory as one dumb window.
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
<a href="nxrequestbkgd"><code>nx_requestbkgd()</code></a> API.
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.

<p>
The underlying implementation used <code>mq_notifiy()</code> and, as a result,
the client must observe the rules for using <code>mq_notifiy()</code>:

Only one event is signaled. Upon receipt of the signal, if the client
wishes further notifications, it must call <code>nx_eventnotify()</code> again.

<p>
<b>Description:</b>
NX normally controls a separate window called the background window.
It repaints the window as necessary using only a solid color fill. The
background window always represents the entire screen and is always
below other windows. It is useful for an application to control the
background window in the following conditions:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
If you want to implement a windowless solution. The single screen
can be used to creat a truly simple graphic environment. In this
case, you should probably also de-select <code>CONFIG_NX_MULTIUSER</code> as well.
</li>
<li>
When you want more on the background than a solid color. For
example, if you want an image in the background, or animations in the
background, or live video, etc.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
This API only requests the handle of the background window. That
handle will be returned asynchronously in a subsequent position and
redraw callbacks.
</p>
<p>
Cautions:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
The following should never be called using the background window.
They are guaranteed to cause severe crashes:
<a href="#nxsetposition"><code>nx_setposition()</code></a>,
<a href="#nxsetsize"><code>nx_setsize()</code></a>,
<a href="#nxraise"><code>nx_raise()</code></a>, or
<a href="#nxlower"><code>nx_lower()</code></a>.
</li>
<li>
Neither <code>nx_requestbkgd()</code> nor
<a href="#nxreleasebkgd"><code>nx_releasebkgd ()</code></a> should be called more than once.
Multiple instances of the background window are not supported.
</li>
</ul>
</p>

<dl>
<dt><code>graphics/nxglib</code>
<dd>The NuttX tiny graphics library.
The directory contains generic utilities support operations on primitive graphics objects
and logic to rasterize directly into a framebuffer.
It has no concept of windows (other than the one, framebuffer window).
<dt><code>graphics/nxbe</code>
<dd>This is the <i>back-end</i> of a tiny windowing system.
It can be used with either of two front-ends to complete a windowing system (see
<code>nxmu</code> and <code>nxsu/<code> below).
It contains most of the important window management logic: clipping, window controls,
window drawing, etc.
<dt><code>graphics/nxsu</code>
<dd>This is the NX single user <i>front end</i>.
When combined with the generic <i>back-end</i> (<code>nxbe</code>), it implements a
single threaded, single user windowing system.
The files in this directory present the window APIs described in
<code>include/nuttx/nx.h</code>.
The single user front-end is selected when <code>CONFIG_NX_MULTIUSER</code> is not
defined in the NuttX configuration file.
<dt><code>graphics/nxsu</code>
<dd>This is the NX multi user <i>front end</i>.
When combined with the generic <i>back-end</i> (<code>nxbe</code>), it implements a
multi-threaded, multi-user windowing system.
The files in this directory present the window APIs described in
<code>include/nuttx/nx.h</code>.
The multi-user front end includes a graphics server that executes on its own thread;
multiple graphics clients then communicate with the server via a POSIX message
queue to serialize window operations from many threads.
The multi-user front-end is selected when <code>CONFIG_NX_MULTIUSER</code> is defined
in the NuttX configuration file.
<dt><code>graphics/nxfonts</code>
<dd>This is where the NXFONTS implementation resides.
This is a relatively low-level set of charset set/glyph management APIs.
See <code>include/nuttx/nxfonts.h</code>.
<dt><code>graphics/nxtk</code>
<dd>This is where the NXTOOLKIT implementation resides.
This toolkit is built on top of NX and works with either the single-user or
multi-user NX version.
See <code>include/nuttx/nxtk.h</code>.
<dt><code>graphics/nxwidgets</code>
<dd>At one time, I planned to put NXWIDGETS implementation here, but not anymore.
