Module Overview

TpWM is the window management engine of TinyPiXOS and a core pillar of the system. The design focuses on a streamlined API, discarding complex and redundant interfaces. Inspired by RISC-like minimal instruction concepts, it gives window designers flexible composition capabilities to build highly customized products.

Features

1. Independent of traditional X11 and Wayland protocols; introduces SPI (Streamlined Protocol Interface) for a minimal API.
2. Full-featured and supports stacked window rendering.
3. Memory supports multi-window shared and exclusive modes, adaptable to various resource conditions.
4. Implemented in pure C for strong portability and adaptability.
5. Multiple display interfaces: remote network display, simulated display, and exclusive physical screen display.
6. Pluggable driver architecture to adapt to different hardware display devices.
7. Small compiled binary size, typically under 8 MB.
8. Multiple logical virtual screens on the same physical display; virtual screens render independently with smooth switching.
