About µGFX
µGFX is a lightweight embedded library for displays and touchscreens providing everything required to build a fully featured embedded GUI. The library is very small and fast because every unused feature is disabled and not linked into the finished binary. The µGFX library has been designed to be the smallest, fastest and most advanced embedded library for display and touchscreen solutions. The µGFX library works on any processor architecture. No matter whether it's a small 16-bit microcontroller or a huge 64-bit multi-core ARM CPU. The µGFX library runs on any system. It can be used with or without an underlying operating system. An easy-to-use, yet highly flexible abstraction layer allows to run the µGFX library on virtually any platform. The abstraction layer has been designed to have as little performance impact as possible.

GUIslice
GUIslice is a very lightweight platform-independent GUI designed for embedded displays, from an 8-bit Arduino with 2KB RAM to the Raspberry Pi. The library supports creation of multiple pages of buttons, text, images, checkboxes, sliders and other graphics primitives. New UI / widget types can be created easily. The core GUIslice library is written in pure C. GUIslice is intended to be used with Raspberry Pi and all Arduino adaptations (ATmega, STM32duino, ESP8266 / NodeMCU, ESP32, Adafruit Feather M0, nRF52, etc.). In addition to RPI, GUIslice works in other LINUX-based platforms including BeagleBone Black and Virtual Machines (VM). The LINUX operation supports framebuffer-based displays without X-windows / X11. Touchscreen controls are supported (both resistive and capacitive), but it is also possible to run on non-touch displays. Keyboard / GPIO / button navigation of the GUI is also available.

µGUI
µGUI is a free and open-source graphic library for embedded systems. It is platform-independent and can be easily ported to almost any microcontroller system. As long as the display is capable of showing graphics, µGUI is not restricted to a certain display technology. Therefore, display technologies such as LCD, TFT, E-Paper, LED or OLED are supported. μGUI is platform-independent, so there is no need to use a certain embedded system. In order to use μGUI, only two requirements are necessary.
