Photon microGUI windowing system
The Photon microGUI windowing system offers a number of technologies for creating high-end graphics applications, such as offscreen video, direct graphics mode, video overlay support, and 3D. Simply add or remove modules to scale from a tiny embedded system to a full-blown, workstation-class development environment. What's more, with Photon, developers can brand their products with a unique look and feel.
Since Photon was created with the same distributed architecture as the underlying RTOS, connectivity is built in. It makes little difference if customers are in the same city or on the other side of the world, developers can monitor and support them with ease. In fact, they can view and interact with any Photon application at any time – anywhere – using TCP/IP as the transport.
Photon also offers built-in internationalization, scalable anti-aliased fonts, and more.
X Window System
The X Window System for QNX combines the connectivity and graphics of X with the performance of QNX to give you an extraordinary GUI solution.
X for QNX has the added benefit of a transparent, dual-connection mechanism that lets you take advantage of TCP/IP connectivity while enjoying QNX's high-speed messaging.
As a full X11R5 implementation, it includes full support for Motif, scalable fonts with a font server, and Xcms. Various other server extensions are available through third-party vendors or local distributors.
