emWin Examples

The emWin examples have the purpose to explain and visualize emWin's features in a straight-forward and simplified way. Thus, most of these examples do not have elaborate graphics, but instead have code that is easy to read and understand.

How to use the examples

The examples are ready-to-run and can be run on most hardware targets and in the Windows simulation. All of the examples are stand-alone, meaning only one C file is required to run the application, with the exception of samples that include file access to external files. For the latter type of samples, the external file referred to in the sample is required as well.

File header

Every example file has a header at the beginning of the file. This header states the file name of the example, a small description about the example and how it should be used and a list of required emWin add-ons that are necessary to run the example.

File        : GUI_VNC_FileTransfer.c
Purpose     : Sample that demonstrates how to use a VNC server with
              emWin and use it for file transfer.
Requirements: WindowManager - ( )
              MemoryDevices - ( )
              AntiAliasing  - ( )
              VNC-Server    - (x)
              PNG-Library   - ( )
              TrueTypeFonts - ( )

For example, the VNC server add-on is required for the VNC-related emWin examples.
