New support of transparent objects (PNG) as well as enhancements for double buffering and gradient fill, are also available in this latest version.
SL-GMS C++/Developer is one of SL’s leading development tools, enabling dynamic visualization of real-time data 24x7, and has been used by a million of mission critical control systems around the world. Its performance and reliability have been proven through many mission-critical projects, handling over 100,000 data points and over 1,000 displays, from high-level nationwide displays, down to detailed street-level maps with over 100,000 dynamic objects. Its scalability has been further demonstrated by usage from standalone SCADA systems to large DCSs.
SL-GMSDraw dynamic graphic editor can be used in conjunction with other SL-GMS products for Java and Microsoft .NET to enable the interactive creation of reusable graphic objects that can be leveraged across numerous displays.
SL-GMS Custom Editor allows users to easily build an application-specific custom editor for its end users. Together, these functionalities have been driving the highest productivity in developing and maintaining advanced control systems.
While the advanced control systems developed with SL-GMS C++/Developer in 1980's and 1990's in the areas of process control, utilities, network management, traffic control and aerospace/defense are still running today, SL-GMS C++/Developer continues to be deployed in new projects every year.
Over the past 25 years, the industry has shifted from VMS and UNIX to Windows and Linux. SL-GMS's true object-oriented architecture has made it possible to evolve with new operating systems and platforms, and to provide continuous enhancements to meet today's mission-critical system requirements.
Furthermore, the unified solution has enabled many SL-GMS C++/Developer customers to shift to SL-GMS J/Developer (Java) and SL-GMS for Microsoft .NET with minimal porting efforts, extending beyond control centers and control rooms to Web deployments.
