| Guidelines |
| The goal of this thesis is to analyse, design and implement a graphics stack for the HelenOS operating system. This graphics stack is modelled according to state-of-the-art principles which are prevailing in the mainstream operating systems, while respecting and leveraging the microkernel architecture of HelenOS.
The prototype implementation provides basic interface with graphics drivers supporting multiple output screens and devices (although only simple kernel framebuffer drivers are provided), window placement, window management, compositing features, basic drawing, foundations of the widget toolkit and terminal emulation client. For both drawing library and widget toolkit, only the elementary (although extensible) implementation is expected. The possibility of porting some existing drawing library or widget toolkit is explored. |
