Visual Graphics Display Designer (VGDD)
Visual Graphics Display Designer (VGDD) lets you easily draw complex user interfaces for your embedded project based on Microchip`s Graphics Object Library. Supports PIC24, dsPIC and PIC32 MCU families. You can use all the original GOL objects (Button, StaticText, etc.) and GPL objects (Arc, Circle, Line, Rectangle) plus several custom and external widgets. You can create an unlimited number of screens with many widgets on each. Converts fonts and bitmaps easily. VGDD generates pure C code that can be added to existing MPLAB IDE projects. It also includes a Wizard that generates complete projects for many combinations of development boards and displays. The built-in simulator allows you to test and evaluate the user interface on a PC, and even distribute it to others using a freeware player. VGDD runs on Windows; the freeware player also runs on Linux and Mac. Single PC license.
