Overview
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
NX provides 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:
|
|
|
|
* **Virtual Vertical Graphics Space** Windows that reside in a virtual,
|
|
vertical space so that it makes sense to talk about one window being
|
|
on top of another and obscuring the window below it.
|
|
|
|
* **Client/Server Model** A standard client server/model was adopted.
|
|
NX may be considered a server and other logic that presents the windows
|
|
are NX clients.
|
|
|
|
* **Multi-User Support** NX includes front-end logic to an NX server
|
|
daemon that can serve multiple NX client threads. The NX sever
|
|
thread/daemon serializes graphics operations from multiple clients.
|
|
|
|
* **Minimal Graphics Toolset** The actual implementation of the graphics
|
|
operations is performed by common, back-end logic. This back-end supports
|
|
only a primitive set of graphic and rendering operations.
|
|
|
|
* **Device Interface** NX supports any graphics device either of two
|
|
device interfaces:
|
|
|
|
#. Any device with random access video memory using the NuttX framebuffer
|
|
driver interface (see include/nuttx/video/fb.h).
|
|
#. Any LCD-like device than can accept raster line runs through a parallel
|
|
or serial interface (see include/nuttx/lcd/lcd.h). By default, NX is
|
|
configured to use the frame buffer driver unless CONFIG_NX_LCDDRIVER
|
|
is defined =y in your NuttX configuration file.
|
|
|
|
* **Transparent to NX Client** 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 redraw requests from NX when needed).
|
|
|
|
* **Framed Windows and Toolbars** 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 screenshot above. These framed
|
|
windows sub-divide one one window into three relatively independent
|
|
subwindows: A frame, the contained window and an (optional) toolbar window.
|
|
|
|
* **Mouse Support** 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.
|
|
|
|
* **Keyboard input** 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 focus) via a callback function.

Pre-Processor Definitions
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
The default server message queue name used by the :c:macro:`nx_run` macro:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c
|
|
|
|
#define NX_DEFAULT_SERVER_MQNAME "/dev/nxs"
|
|
|
|
Mouse button bits:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c
|
|
|
|
#define NX_MOUSE_NOBUTTONS 0x00
|
|
#define NX_MOUSE_LEFTBUTTON 0x01
|
|
#define NX_MOUSE_CENTERBUTTON 0x02
|
|
#define NX_MOUSE_RIGHTBUTTON 0x04
|
|
|
|
NX Types
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
The interface to the NX server is managed using a opaque handle:
|
|
|
|
.. c:type:: FAR void *NXHANDLE
|
|
|
|
The interface to a specific window is managed using an opaque handle:
|
|
|
|
.. c:type:: FAR void *NXWINDOW
|
|
|
|
These define callbacks that must be provided to :c:func:`nx_openwindow`.
|
|
These callbacks will be invoked as part of the processing performed by
|
|
:c:func:`nx_eventhandler`.
|
|
|
|
.. c:struct:: nx_callback_s
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c
|
|
|
|
struct nx_callback_s
|
|
{
|
|
void (*redraw)(NXWINDOW hwnd, FAR const struct nxgl_rect_s *rect,
|
|
bool more, FAR void *arg);
|
|
void (*position)(NXWINDOW hwnd, FAR const struct nxgl_size_s *size,
|
|
FAR const struct nxgl_point_s *pos,
|
|
FAR const struct nxgl_rect_s *bounds,
|
|
FAR void *arg);
|
|
#ifdef CONFIG_NX_XYINPUT
|
|
void (*mousein)(NXWINDOW hwnd, FAR const struct nxgl_point_s *pos,
|
|
uint8_t buttons, FAR void *arg);
|
|
#endif
|
|
#ifdef CONFIG_NX_KBD
|
|
void (*kbdin)(NXWINDOW hwnd, uint8_t nch, FAR const uint8_t *ch, FAR void *arg);
|
|
#endif
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
Starting the NX Server
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
The *NX Server* is a kernel daemon that receives and serializes graphic
|
|
commands. Before you can use the NX graphics system, you must first
|
|
start this daemon. There are two ways that this can be done:
|
|
|
|
#. The NX server may be started in your board startup logic by simply
|
|
calling the function ``nxmu_start()``. The board startup logic
|
|
usually resides the the ``boards/arch/chip/board/src`` directory. The
|
|
board startup logic can run automatically during the early system if
|
|
``CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INITIALIZE`` is defined in the configuration. Or,
|
|
the board startup logic can execute under control of the application
|
|
by calling :c:func:`boardctl` as:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c
|
|
|
|
boardctl(BOARDIOC_INIT, arg)
|
|
|
|
The board initialization logic will run in either case and the simple
|
|
call to ``nxmu_start()`` will start the NX server.
|
|
|
|
#. The NX server may also be started later by the application via
|
|
:c:func:`boardctl` as:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c
|
|
|
|
boardctl(BOARDIOC_NX_START, arg)
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int nxmu_start(int display, int plane);
|
|
|
|
Provides a wrapper function to
|
|
simplify and standardize the starting of the NX server.
|
|
|
|
:param display: The display number to be served by this new NXMU instance.
|
|
:param plane: The plane number to use to get information about the display geometry and color format.
|
|
|
|
:return: Zero (``OK``) is returned on success. This indicates
|
|
that the NX server has been successfully started, is running, and
|
|
waiting to accept connections from NX clients.
|
|
A negated ``errno`` value is returned on failure. The ``errno`` value
|
|
indicates the nature of the failure.
|
|
|
|
NX Server Callbacks
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void redraw(NXWINDOW hwnd, FAR const struct nxgl_rect_s *rect, bool more, FAR void *arg);
|
|
|
|
NX requests that the client re-draw the portion of the
|
|
window within with rectangle.
|
|
|
|
:param hwnd:
|
|
The handle created by :c:func:`nx_openwindow` or :c:func:`nx_requestbkgd`
|
|
:param rect:
|
|
The rectangle that needs to be re-drawn (in window relative
|
|
coordinates)
|
|
:param more:
|
|
true: More re-draw requests will follow
|
|
:param arg:
|
|
User provided argument (see :c:func:`nx_openwindow`)
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void position(NXWINDOW hwnd, FAR const struct nxgl_size_s *size, \
|
|
FAR const struct nxgl_point_s *pos, \
|
|
FAR const struct nxgl_rect_s *bounds, \
|
|
FAR void *arg);
|
|
|
|
The size or position of the window has changed (or the
|
|
window was just created with zero size.
|
|
|
|
:param hwnd:
|
|
The handle created by :c:func:`nx_openwindow` or :c:func:`nx_requestbkgd`
|
|
:param size:
|
|
The size of the window
|
|
:param pos:
|
|
The position of the upper left hand corner of the window on the
|
|
overall display
|
|
:param bounds:
|
|
The bounding rectangle that the describes the entire display
|
|
:param arg:
|
|
User provided argument (see :c:func:`nx_openwindow`)
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void mousein(NXWINDOW hwnd, FAR const struct nxgl_point_s *pos, \
|
|
uint8_t buttons, FAR void *arg);
|
|
|
|
New mouse data is available for the window
|
|
|
|
:param hwnd:
|
|
The handle created by :c:func:`nx_openwindow` or :c:func:`nx_requestbkgd`
|
|
:param pos:
|
|
The (x,y) position of the mouse
|
|
:param buttons:
|
|
See ``NX_MOUSE_*`` definitions
|
|
:param arg:
|
|
User provided argument (see :c:func:`nx_openwindow`)
|
|
|
|
.. c:var:: void (*kbdin)(NXWINDOW hwnd, uint8_t nch, FAR const uint8_t *ch, FAR void *arg);
|
|
|
|
New keyboard/keypad data is available for the window.
|
|
|
|
:param hwnd:
|
|
The handle created by :c:func:`nx_openwindow` or :c:func:`nx_requestbkgd`
|
|
:param nch:
|
|
The number of characters that are available in ch[]
|
|
:param ch:
|
|
The array of characters
|
|
:param arg:
|
|
User provided argument (see :c:func:`nx_openwindow`)
|
|
|
|
.. c:var:: void (*event)(NXWINDOW hwnd, enum nx_event_e event, FAR void *arg1, FAR void *arg2);
|
|
|
|
This callback is used to communicate server events to the window listener.
|
|
|
|
- ``NXEVENT_BLOCKED``: Window messages are blocked.
|
|
This callback is the response from :c:func:`nx_block`,
|
|
:c:func:`nxtk_block`. Those blocking interfaces are used
|
|
to assure that no further messages are directed to the window.
|
|
Receipt of the blocked callback signifies that (1) there are no
|
|
further pending callbacks and (2) that the window is now *defunct*
|
|
and will receive no further callbacks. This callback supports
|
|
coordinated destruction of a window. In the multi-user mode, the
|
|
client window logic must stay intact until all of the queued
|
|
callbacks are processed. Then the window may be safely closed.
|
|
Closing the window prior with pending callbacks can lead to bad
|
|
behavior when the callback is executed.
|
|
- ``NXEVENT_SYNCHED``: Synchronization handshake
|
|
This completes the handshake started by
|
|
:c:func:`nx_synch`, or :c:func:`nxtk_synch`.
|
|
Those interfaces send a synchronization messages to the NX server
|
|
which responds with this event. The sleeping client is awakened and
|
|
continues graphics processing, completing the handshake. Due to the
|
|
highly asynchronous nature of client-server communications,
|
|
synchronization is sometimes necessary to assure that the client and
|
|
server are working together properly.
|
|
|
|
:param hwnd:
|
|
TWindow handle of window receiving the event
|
|
:param event:
|
|
The server event
|
|
:param arg1:
|
|
User provided argument (see :c:func:`nx_openwindow`,
|
|
:c:func:`nx_requestbkgd`, or :c:func:`nxtk_opentoolbar`)
|
|
:param arg2:
|
|
TUser provided argument (see :c:func:`nx_block`, :c:func:`nxtk_block`,
|
|
:c:func:`nx_synch`, or :c:func:`nxtk_synch`)
|
|
|
|
.. c:macro:: nx_run(fb)
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c
|
|
|
|
#define nx_run(fb) nx_runinstance(NX_DEFAULT_SERVER_MQNAME, dev)
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int nx_runinstance(FAR const char *mqname, FAR struct fb_vtable_s *fb)
|
|
|
|
This is the server entry point. It does not return; the
|
|
calling thread is dedicated to supporting NX server.
|
|
|
|
NOTE that multiple instances of the NX server may run at the same time,
|
|
with different callback and message queue names. ``nx_run()`` is simply
|
|
a macro that can be used when only one server instance is required. In
|
|
that case, a default server name is used.
|
|
|
|
:param mqname: The name for the server incoming message queue
|
|
:param dev: Framebuffer or LCD driver "object" to be used
|
|
|
|
:return: This function usually does not return. If it does
|
|
return, it will return ``ERROR`` and ``errno`` will be set
|
|
appropriately.
|
|
|
|
.. c:macro:: nx_connect(cb)
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c
|
|
|
|
#define nx_connect(cb) nx_connectinstance(NX_DEFAULT_SERVER_MQNAME)
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: NXHANDLE nx_connectinstance(FAR const char *svrmqname);
|
|
|
|
Open a connection from a client to the NX server. One
|
|
one client connection is normally needed per thread as each connection
|
|
can host multiple windows.
|
|
|
|
NOTES:
|
|
|
|
- This function returns before the connection is fully instantiated. it
|
|
is necessary to wait for the connection event before using the
|
|
returned handle.
|
|
- Multiple instances of the NX server may run at the same time, each
|
|
with different message queue names.
|
|
- ``nx_connect()`` is simply a macro that can be used when only one
|
|
server instance is required. In that case, a default server name is
|
|
used.
|
|
|
|
:param svrmqname: The name for the server incoming message queue
|
|
|
|
:return: Success: A non-NULL handle used with subsequent NX accesses
|
|
Failure: NULL is returned and errno is set appropriately.
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: void nx_disconnect(NXHANDLE handle)
|
|
|
|
Disconnect a client from the NX server and/or free
|
|
resources reserved by :c:func:`nx_connect`/c:func:`nx_connectinstance`.
|
|
|
|
:param handle: The handle returned by :c:func:`nx_connectinstance`.
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int nx_eventhandler(NXHANDLE handle);
|
|
|
|
The client code must call this function periodically to
|
|
process incoming messages from the server. If ``CONFIG_NX_BLOCKING`` is
|
|
defined, then this function not return until a server message is
|
|
received.
|
|
|
|
When ``CONFIG_NX_BLOCKING`` is not defined, the client must exercise
|
|
caution in the looping to assure that it does not eat up all of the CPU
|
|
bandwidth calling nx_eventhandler repeatedly.
|
|
```nx_eventnotify()`` <#nxeventnotify>`__ may be called to get a signal
|
|
event whenever a new incoming server event is available.
|
|
|
|
:param handle: The handle returned by ```nx_connect()`` <#nxconnectinstance>`__.
|
|
|
|
:return:
|
|
- ``OK``: No errors occurred. If ``CONFIG_NX_BLOCKING`` is defined,
|
|
then one or more server messages were processed.
|
|
- ``ERROR``: An error occurred and ``errno`` has been set
|
|
appropriately. Of particular interest, it will return
|
|
``errno == EHOSTDOWN`` when the server is disconnected. After that
|
|
event, the handle can no longer be used.
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int nx_eventnotify(NXHANDLE handle, int signo);
|
|
|
|
Rather than calling :c:func:`nx_eventhandler` periodically, the client may
|
|
register to receive a signal when a server event is available. The
|
|
client can then call :c:func:nx_eventhandler` only
|
|
when incoming events are available.
|
|
|
|
The underlying implementation used ``mq_notifiy()`` and, as a result,
|
|
the client must observe the rules for using ``mq_notifiy()``:
|
|
|
|
- Only one event is signalled. Upon receipt of the signal, if the
|
|
client wishes further notifications, it must call
|
|
``nx_eventnotify()`` again.
|
|
- The signal will only be issued when the message queue transitions
|
|
from empty to not empty.
|
|
|
|
:param handle: The handle returned by ```nx_connect()`` <#nxconnectinstance>`__.
|
|
:return: ``OK`` on success; ``ERROR`` on failure with
|
|
``errno`` set appropriately
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int nx_block(NXWINDOW hwnd, FAR void *arg);
|
|
|
|
The response to this function call is two things: (1)
|
|
any queued callback messages to the window are 'blocked' and then (2)
|
|
also subsequent window messaging is blocked.
|
|
|
|
The ``event`` callback with the ``NXEVENT_BLOCKED`` event is the
|
|
response from ``nx_block()``. This blocking interface is used to assure
|
|
that no further messages are are directed to the window. Receipt of the
|
|
``NXEVENT_BLOCKED`` event signifies that (1) there are no further
|
|
pending callbacks and (2) that the window is now *defunct* and will
|
|
receive no further callbacks.
|
|
|
|
This callback supports coordinated destruction of a window. The client
|
|
window logic must stay intact until all of the queued callbacks are
|
|
processed. Then the window may be safely closed. Closing the window
|
|
prior with pending callbacks can lead to bad behavior when the callback
|
|
is executed.
|
|
|
|
:param wnd: The window to be blocked
|
|
:param arg: An argument that will accompany the block messages (This is ``arg2`` in
|
|
the event callback).
|
|
|
|
:return: OK on success; ERROR on failure with errno set
|
|
appropriately.
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int nx_synch(NXWINDOW hwnd, FAR void *arg);
|
|
|
|
This interface can be used to synchronize the window
|
|
client with the NX server. It really just implements an *echo*: A synch
|
|
message is sent from the window client to the server which then responds
|
|
immediately by sending the ``NXEVENT_SYNCHED`` back to the windows
|
|
client.
|
|
|
|
Due to the highly asynchronous nature of client-server communications,
|
|
``nx_synch()`` is sometimes necessary to assure that the client and
|
|
server are fully synchronized in time.
|
|
|
|
Usage by the window client might be something like this:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c
|
|
|
|
extern bool g_synched;
|
|
extern sem_t g_synch_sem;
|
|
|
|
g_synched = false;
|
|
ret = nx_synch(hwnd, handle);
|
|
if (ret < 0)
|
|
{
|
|
-- Handle the error --
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
while (!g_synched)
|
|
{
|
|
ret = sem_wait(&g_sync_sem);
|
|
if (ret < 0)
|
|
{
|
|
-- Handle the error --
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
When the window listener thread receives the ``NXEVENT_SYNCHED`` event,
|
|
it would set ``g_synched`` to ``true`` and post ``g_synch_sem``, waking
|
|
up the above loop.
|
|
|
|
:param wnd: The window to be synched
|
|
:param arg: An argument that will accompany the synch messages (This is ``arg2`` in the event callback).
|
|
|
|
:return: OK on success; ERROR on failure with errno set
|
|
appropriately
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: NXWINDOW nx_openwindow(NXHANDLE handle, uint8_t flags, \
|
|
FAR const struct nx_callback_s *cb, \
|
|
FAR void *arg);
|
|
|
|
Create a new window.
|
|
|
|
:param handle: The handle returned by ```nx_connect()`` <#nxconnectinstance>`__.
|
|
:param flags: Optional flags. These include:
|
|
- ``NXBE_WINDOW_RAMBACKED``: Creates a RAM backed window. This option is only valid if ``CONFIG_NX_RAMBACKED`` is enabled.
|
|
- ``NXBE_WINDOW_HIDDEN``: The window is create in the HIDDEN state and can be made visible later with ``nx_setvisibility()``.
|
|
|
|
:param cb: Callbacks used to process window events
|
|
:param arg: User provided value that will be returned with NX callbacks.
|
|
|
|
:return: Success: A non-NULL handle used with subsequent NX accesses
|
|
Failure: NULL is returned and errno is set appropriately.
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int nx_closewindow(NXWINDOW hwnd)
|
|
|
|
Destroy a window created by :c:func:`nx_openwindow` window.
|
|
|
|
:param hwnd: The handle returned by ```nx_openwindow()`` <#nxopenwindow>`__ that
|
|
identifies the window to be destroyed. This handle must not have been
|
|
one returned by ```nx_requestbkgd()`` <#nxrequestbkgd>`__.
|
|
|
|
:return: ``OK`` on success; ``ERROR`` on failure with
|
|
``errno`` set appropriately
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int nx_requestbkgd(NXHANDLE handle, \
|
|
FAR const struct nx_callback_s *cb, \
|
|
FAR void *arg);
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
- If you want to implement a windowless solution. The single screen can
|
|
be used to create a truly simple graphic environment.
|
|
- 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.
|
|
|
|
This API only requests the handle of the background window. That handle
|
|
will be returned asynchronously in a subsequent position and redraw
|
|
callbacks.
|
|
|
|
Cautions:
|
|
|
|
- The following should never be called using the background window.
|
|
They are guaranteed to cause severe crashes: :c:func:`nx_setposition`,
|
|
:c:func:`nx_setsize`, :c:func:`nx_raise`, or :c:func:`nx_lower`,
|
|
:c:func:`nx_modal`, :c:func:`nx_setvisibility`.
|
|
- Neither :c:func:`nx_requestbkgd` nor :c:func:`nx_releasebkgd`
|
|
should be called more than once. Multiple instances of the
|
|
background window are not supported.
|
|
|
|
:param handle: The handle returned by ```nx_connect()`` <#nxconnectinstance>`__.
|
|
:param cb: Callbacks to use for processing background window events
|
|
:param arg: User provided argument (see ```nx_openwindow()`` <#nxopenwindow>`__)
|
|
|
|
:return: ``OK`` on success; ``ERROR`` on failure with
|
|
``errno`` set appropriately
|
