Widget Sets:
 
An entry-level configuration of the GLG Toolkit containing one or more widget sets provides applications with custom components, such as dials, meters, graphs, avionics gauges and process control widgets. The components may be used as individual widgets or combined into custom dashboards and simulation control panels that contain multiple widgets. Each widget can be updated with real-time data and can take user input.

Depending on the programming environment, GLG widgets may be deployed as a C/C++ or MFC class, Java Bean, ActiveX Control or Qt/Gtk/Motif Widget.

The included Basic Edition of the GLG Graphics Builder may be used to modify appearance of any widget interactively, as well as build custom control panels by combining multiple widgets on  one page. The Professional or Enterprise Editions of the Graphics Builder may be used to build custom widgets from scratch.

All components are royalty-free, and may be reused and distributed with an application. The pricing for the Basic Edition and one widget set starts at $500 for Windows or Linux platforms and $645 for other Unix platforms.

GLG Toolkit is an extremely flexible and robust graphical framework for building visual interfaces that display real-time data, from Process Control operator displays and HMI screens to Traffic and Telemetry Monitoring displays and Supply Chain visualizations.

The Toolkit includes dynamic Graphics Builder used to create graphics interactively, either from scratch or by selecting from a supplied collection of pre-built components. The dynamic behavior  and data interfaces of graphical objects are exposed to the application on the logical level using the mechanism of named resources and tags, which frees the application from knowing the low-level details of the underlying graphics.

The graphical screens can be deployed royalty-free in a variety of programming environments and platforms. The Java version of the Toolkit may be used for web deployment, while C/C++ libraries may be used on a variety of Windows and Unix/Linux platforms in a cross-platform way. Regardless of the deployment option, the application has access to the same intuitive and powerful API for accessing the objects in the drawing and supplying real-time data.

The Toolkit comes in either Professional or Enterprise Edition and includes the GLG Standard API library (C/C++, Java or ActiveX), starting at $1150 on Windows and Linux, and $1500 on other Unix platforms (widget sets and GIS are optional).

GLG Extended API is an optional component of the GLG Toolkit, which provides advanced dynamic configuration and editing features at run time.

The GLG Extended API provides an application with capabilities to create drawings on the fly based on the current configuration data. It may be also used to add
graphical objects to the drawing dynamically at run time, which is important for applications that display variable number of dynamic icons, such as moving airplane icons on the map. Another example of using the Extended API is a custom diagramming application that creates objects  interactively based on user input.

In addition to the methods for creating and deleting objects, the Extended API also provides advanced introspection capabilities, which can be used to traverse objects in the drawing and dynamically determine the drawing's content at run time. The Extended API provides programming access to all operations available in the Graphics Builder, regardless of the chosen deployment option: C/C++, Java or ActiveX.

The Extended API carries a small royalty fee, with various pricing options to suit different distribution modes.

GIS Map Server

The GLG Map Server component adds dynamic mapping capabilities to GLG Toolkit and may be used with the Toolkit or stand-alone.

When used with the Toolkit, an integrated GIS Object takes care of all chores of zooming, panning, coordinate conversion and rendering the map, integrating the map server into the GLG drawing, while the Toolkit handles rendering of dynamic icons on top of the map, updating them in real time.

For the stand-alone use, the GLG Map Server component is available as both a web-based GIS Map Server executable or a GIS library API, which may be used by C/C++ applications installed on local machines. The map server's rendering engine does not depend on the windowing system and hence can be used on headless servers on both Unix, Linux and Windows.

The GLG Map Server complies with the OpenGIS standard and supports optimized rendering of millions of points, both raster, vector and elevation data, rectangular and orthographic projections, unlimited layering, full alpha-blending, transparency and dynamic attribute thresholding. The map server is optimized for both the whole globe and small region maps, supporting hierarchical tiling, tile cache and automatic layers selection based on zoom thresholds.

The GIS component is flawlessly integrated into any GLG drawing using the GIS Object and may be deployed in C/C++, Java, as well as ActiveX for C# and VB.NET applications.

The GLG Graphics Builder facilitates interactive setup and rapid prototyping of the map component with no programming, by simply editing GIS objects in the drawing. It may be used even by stand-alone users for quick testing of the map server setup.
