Zinc ships with full source code as an object oriented C++ platform independent framework, and is used to implement graphical user interfaces (GUI's) for cross platform applications. Zinc is a scaleable and customizable full featured toolkit for the creation of event-driven GUI applications. Zinc is available for embedded and desktop platforms. Zinc for embedded platforms is available for real time operating systems such as Wind River's VxWorks. Zinc utilizes the look and feel of the native platform for Zinc objects.

As embedded devices increase in functionality and capability, the need for user interface improvements also increases. Often end users expect the look and feel of a desktop system. The ability to use vector fonts, such as True Type fonts, helps to meet this requirement. PSA has implemented eTTF, a vector font solution for VxWorks applications. This solution provides the ability to include True Type or other vector fonts in your embedded application, including multi-byte fonts. Advanced capabilities such as scaling, rotation, and anti-aliasing are supported.

As embedded graphics devices increase in functionality and capability end users are looking for the ability to obtain hardcopies with information that is presented.
