Description : A tiny window system
With embedded systems gaining high resolution displays and powerful
CPUs, the desire for sophisticated graphical user interfaces can be realized in
even the smallest of systems. While the CPU power available for a given power
budget has increased dramatically, these tiny systems remain severely memory
constrained. This unique environment presents interesting challenges in graphical
system design and implementation. To explore this particular space, a new
window system, TWIN, has been developed. Using ideas from modern window systems
in larger environments, TWIN offers overlapping translucent windows,
anti-aliased graphics and scalable fonts in a total memory budget of 100KB.
