This article mainly introduces what Tilcon is in UGL, it has certain reference value, interested friends can refer to it, I hope you can learn a lot after reading this article, let's take you to know it.

There should be a lot of people who have used Tilcon, a GUI tool that Wind River acquired in 2009. It originally belonged to Tilcon Software Limited, a Canadian company with only a dozen people founded in 1987-something that seemed to cost more than $3 million. It is said that the origin of the name is T ext I nterface L anguage CON

It is similar to Zinc in many ways: a platform-independent GUI framework that provides users with a graphical interface through cross-development. However, its underlying layer is implemented entirely in C language, which is more efficient than Zinc. On the host side, Tilcon also provides an IDE tool called Tilcon Interface Development Tool, or IDT for short, which can be used to design a graphical interface, add event responses, and simulate UI operations. The final generated project file can be directly used by the runtime of Tilcon on the Target side.

When Tilcon runs in VxWorks5-6, the underlying layer also relies on WindML (although there is no WindML in VxWorks7, and the corresponding Tilcon7.0 is implemented by CPP). The WindML functions used include: two-dimensional graphics (point, line, rectangle, polygon, circle, etc.) drawing, international font, text drawing, color management, bitmap management, basic window system and so on. And it supports richer controls than Zinc.

The interface is really gorgeous, but it should use a lot of stickers. The higher version also integrates OpenGL2.1 (or higher?) Compatible 3D graphics library, which is a good choice for advanced visual requirements such as process visualization, flight simulation, medical imaging, animation and 3D modeling. Did not find a suitable example, the screenshot is not clear enough, make do with it. Thank you for reading this article carefully. I hope the article "what is Tilcon in UGL" shared by the editor will be helpful to you. At the same time, I also hope that you will support and pay attention to the industry information channel. More related knowledge is waiting for you to learn!
