C Modules Compatibility Version

The C modules are described here.

Several generic C modules are available for a given version of the VG Pack. In addition to generic C modules, the specific implementations of the VG Pack over Vivante VGLite and Think Silicon NemaVG extend the main MicroVG C module. They override the default implementation to use a GPU to perform the drawings. Contrary to the main MicroVG C module, they are optional: when they are not available, the default implementation of drawings is used. The default implementation does nothing (no drawing) and throws the drawing log DRAWING_LOG_NOT_IMPLEMENTED.

These C Modules fetches automatically by transitivity the generic MicroUI and MicroVG C modules and the Extended C Module for the selected GPU.

The next tables summarizes the VG Packs with:

  • the UI Pack (see upper),

  • the specific C module that implements MicroVG over the GPU (called VG-xxx in next tables),

  • the specific C module that implements MicroUI over the GPU (called UI-xxx in next tables), see Extended C Modules,

  • the VG Pack C module,

  • the UI Pack C module: see UI Pack,

  • Freetype and HarfBuzz

Warning

Compatible versions are more restrictive than for use of the UI pack (and its C modules) alone.

Vivante VGLite

The VGLite C module targets the NXP CPU that provides the Vivante VGLite accelerator.
