NxWidgets is a drawing tool in C++ that supports graphics objects. It
integrates naturally with NX.
NX is the graphics server that supports multi-threaded 3D windowed
displays (3D in the since that X/Y windows exists in a Z plane). NX is
the embedded, moral equivalent of X in Linux. It is NX that supports
the multi-threading, not NxWidgets.
LVGL is a drawing tool written in C. It integrates naturally with a
framebuffer driver.
NX can be configured to support per-Window framebuffers. It would
require a small effort, but it would also be possible to create a
per-Window framebuffer driver that is compatible with LVGL. Then you
could have each thread manage a different window (but not true
multi-threading in a single window).

Many thanks of the links related to nxwidgets. I'm aware of LVGL and other
nice UI for embedded systems but I prefer a framework that would be easier
to manage in a client-server fashion for a project of muy own, and
nxwidgets seems easier than LVGL besides less advanced. A modernization of
the drawing functions would be interesting toó while keeping the API. I
don't know if there are some existing applications to determine the impact
of any change to the API

Hi Victor,
Please see page 43 to see some nice interfaces developed using NXWidgets:

You can look the NXWM to see some examples of screens using NXWidgets.
Thanks Alan for this detailed reference! :-)
Victor, please note that NuttX also supports LVGL that is currently
getting a lot of traction in embedded world:

Guys, do we have some demos ready to build out of the box on NuttX for
both NxWidgets and LVGL?
