New General Selection Touchscreen Support Library (NGS)

HCIL has long been a leader in touchscreen applications and research. Years of study have produced innovative techniques and algorithms for operating a touchscreen user interface. The NGS library has been developed at HCIL for constructing our Borland C language user interfaces on IBM PC and IBM AT compatible machines. NGS has been refined by our 5 years of research and has been in user internally for over two years.

NGS Features:

Manages the definition, selection, and feedback for rectangular regions on a touchscreen.
C source code for eighty-two Functions (only five needed to support a simple application).
Three selection protocols: "lift-off", "first-touch", "land-on".
Uses Sears' touchscreen stabilization algorithm.
MicroTouch (TM) and Elographics (TM) touchscreens supported.
Includes support to allow a mouse to emulate a touchscreen for development. (Also allows any pointing device which emulates a mouse to be used by the application).
C source included.
Sixty-page manual.
High-precision with resolution up to 1024 x 1024.
