The Microchip Graphics Display Designer (GDD) is an MPLAB IDE plug-in and a visual design tool that provides customers with a quick and easy way of creating graphical user interface (GUI) screens for embedded applications on Microchip MCUs. The GDD is a design tool created for use with the Microchip Graphics Library.
For customers who are familiar with MPLAB IE, PIC MCUs, Microchip Graphics Library and MPLAB C Compilers, the GDD simplifies coding for the GUI screens. Customers can draw, move, resize, and delete screen objects, create multiple static screens, assign an LCD controller, select graphics-related configurations, and generate output source files. These source files can be compiled with the Microchip Graphics Library using the Microchip C compilers for PIC24, dsPIC and PIC32 MCUs.
GDD eliminates the need to manually calculate the X/Y coordinates for on-screen object placements. Nearly all the graphical objects (widgets) from the Microchip Graphics Library are supported in GDD.
GDD provides “what you see is what you get” results by using the same rendering code from the Microchip Graphics Library to draw objects on the PC screen. This guarantees that what you see on the PC screen is what you get on the target embedded screen.
Graphical resources can be imported into GDD for application development, including custom fonts and bitmap images. Various Microchip Graphics Library configuration settings can be set in GDD, including display resolution, color depth, LCD driver, etc. Code generation feature generates ANSI C code for PIC24, dsPIC and PIC32 MCUs. The code generated by this plug-in can be compiled with source files from the Microchip Graphics Library developed for Microchip’s PIC24, dsPIC and PIC32 MCUs.
Advanced users still have the option to call APIs from the Microchip Graphics Library directly without using GDD. This provides a finer control over the flow and behavior of the application.
Released version: 2.0.0.9c – Supports Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 (dated 09/17/09)
The GDD v2.0.0.9c works with Graphics Library v1.75b only, and not with the newer Graphics Library v2.00 or later.

Available for On-Demand Viewing Beginning Thursday, September 24th, 2009
Duration: 60 minutes
Hosted by EDN, Sponsored Cypress Semiconductor Corp and Microchip Technology, Inc.
The importance and visibility of human/machine interfaces escalated when multi-touch and gesture interfaces appeared in more products over the last few years. The iPhone and Wii products are two examples of where the human/machine interfaces herald game changing ways, via gesture recognition, that users interact with their electronic devices. The sensing technology plays an important role, but the microcontroller(s) that interface, control, and collect data from these sensors provides the key capabilities that separate these newer interfaces from previous human/machine interface attempts as early as ten years ago.
EDN technical editor Robert Cravotta will host a webinar panel discussion to be broadcast starting September 24th that showcases experts in human/machine interface sensing and control technologies. The panel will cover the key design, usability, and maintainability care-abouts when pairing sensor technology, such as touch and gesture interfaces, with microcontrollers.

emWin is written in ANSI “C” and can handle any LCD, any resolution and any color depth. There is no need to change the source code of the application to use the software for different color depths. All you need to do is to modify the configuration file.
