GUIX fills a void in the embedded software marketplace by providing a professionally supported, feature-rich graphics framework with a fresh modern appearance, small footprint, and low overhead for use by embedded developers on a wide range of targets. GUIX is a fully event-driven, windowing-capable, embedded graphics system designed to fully utilize all available hardware acceleration capabilities. GUIX supports multiple simultaneous displays, each running at its own resolution and with its own color format—a capability extended to its companion desktop design tool, GUIX Studio.
