### What's MiniGUI
MiniGUI is a mature cross-platform windowing system and a GUI (Graphics
User Interface) support system for embedded systems and smart IoT devices.

This is the source tree of MiniGUI Core, which provides the windowing
and graphics interfaces as well as a lot of standard controls (toolkit).
### MiniGUI Components
Besides MiniGUI Core, FMSoft also provides some components
for the developers to develop app much easier:
* mGUtils: A MiniGUI component which contains miscellaneous utilities
like `ColorSelectionDialogBox`, `FileOpenDialogBox`, and so on.
* mGPlus: A MiniGUI component which provides support for advanced graphics
functions like path, gradient, anti-aliased stretch, and color combination.
* mGEff: mGEff provides an animation framework for MiniGUI app.
It also provides some popular UI/UE special effects.
* mGNCS: This component provides a new control set for MiniGUI app.
* mGNCS4Touch: This component provides some new controls, which are
compliant to the new control API spec of mGNCS, for devices with
touch screens.
There are also some legacy MiniGUI components. But we will not maintain these
components since MiniGUI v3.2.0:
* mGi: An input method component for MiniGUI. This component provides
some typical input methods (such as soft keyboard, hand-writing, and predict
text input for mobile phone) for MiniGUI apps.
* mGp: A printing component for MiniGUI. By using mGp, you can print
out the graphics created by MiniGUI app to general-purpose printers.
* mG3d: A simple three-dimension component for MiniGUI. This component
provides a simple 3D API for app. You can use mG3d to create simple
3D UI.

### Open Source Apps Based-on MiniGUI
### App Frameworks on MiniGUI
FMSoft also releases some open source apps for MiniGUI on the site above,
for examples:
MiniGUI and its components provides more than twenty controls/widgets to
help your develop GUI apps in C/C++ programming language. However,
alternatively, you can choose the one of the following app frameworks to
develop your apps in a simpler programming language than C/C++.
* `mDolphin`, licensed under Apache 2.0, is a full-featured
WEB/WAP browser, which is developed based on the open source browser
core WebKit and uses MiniGUI as its underlying graphics support system.
* `mGallery`, licensed under Apache 2.0, intends to
provide a total solution for PMP (Portable Multimedia Player),
which uses MiniGUI as the graphics platform.
* `mSpider`, licensed under GPL 3.0, intends to provide a
light-weight MiniGUI-based web browser (HTML 3.2 and part JavaScript)
* `mEagle`, licensed under GPL 3.0, is an embedded GIS development platform
which addresses the needs of map browse, query, analysis, etc
* [HybridOS](/FMSoftCN/hybridos) provides a complete software stack to
develop an app which have rich functions and excellent expressive in
HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript.
* [hiACEJS](/FMSoftCN/hiACEJS) provides a light-weight app framework in
JavaScript.
You can also choose [HybridOS Lite](/HybridOS/hybridos-lite) to develop
apps with excellent expressive for cost-sensitive devices.
