A system, device, and method for creating widgets presentable in an image are disclosed. The widget creating system may include a system configuration file, one or more definition files, and a windows generator (WG). The WG may be configured to perform definition and run-time operations. The definition operation may include loading the system configuration file; loading first definition file(s) owned by a first user application and include at least one first-layer widget defined by a set of widget parameters, where each set may include contents corresponding to a second definition file of a second layer; and creating one or more first-layer widgets. The run-time operation may include loading one or more first-layer widget data parameter sets, where the contents corresponding to the second definition file are loaded and at least one second-layer widget is created during run time.

Run-time widget creating system, device, and method

A system includes a first graphics interface, a second graphics interface, and a display system. The first graphics interface is configured to receive first graphics instructions from a user application, identify an abstraction mode of the user application, and generate second graphics instructions based on the first graphics instructions and the abstraction mode. The second graphics interface is configured to receive the second graphics instructions from the first graphics interface and generate a widget based on the second graphics instructions. The display system includes a graphics generator and a display device. The graphics generator is configured to generate a visual representation based on the widget. The display device is configured to display the visual representation.

Systems and methods for user driven avionics graphics

A system for reading and writing data to virtual machines in a machine operating according to the ARINC 653 standard includes a plurality of virtual machines that intercommunicate and communicate over a bus. A data interceptor is connected to the bus for communication with each virtual machine by reading and writing data to each virtual machine.

Interface for interpartition and interprocessor communication

A present novel and non-trivial system and method for controlling the display of classified information with unclassified information are disclosed. Layer property(ies) of the super layer are turned on. Layer property(ies) of at least one unclassified layer is turned on, making it a changed unclassified layer. Unclassified layer data of each changed unclassified layer is sent to a user application, and responsive first first-tier widget data is received. Pixel data set is generated based upon the unclassified layer data, the first first-tier widget data, and a known display configuration format. Additionally, layer property(ies) of at least one classified layer is turned on, making it a changed classified layer. Classified layer data of each changed classified layer is sent to a user application, and responsive second first-tier widget data is received. The second widget data is included in the basis for generating the pixel data set.
