How does it generate the creation of widgets in application? Is the UI editor generate C code or will it be based on some command /script data ?

It will generate C code and later Python.

We still have some bugs, so we still need some days.
I’ll keep you updated here!

Hi,

The beta is out!

See this post:

V0.1 beta is out

Hi guys, Finally, we have finished the Beta version of Edgeline Editor. You can download it from HERE. This version comes with the basic features: the most important widgets ability to create multiple screens events animations styles (only local styles on the objects) We keep adding new features and fixing bugs like the style editor, font importing, and new widgets. We’ll open a new topic for every new version. Caveats: the current version is only for Windows, we are working on the Lin…

Hi all,

This is a really great tool for rapid development! Downloaded the tool this morning and started to create an example project to explore the possibilities and functions of Edgeline. The graphics of edgeline itself looks great. I was wondering, since lvgl is opensource, is the edgline software also opensource?? In the installation process it tells me this is a ‘trial’ version, which let me think it is a commercial payed product? Also i can’t figure out how to export the design to C code? there is nowhere a button for it or in the menu. Are all these features hidden because it is a trial?

I am pretty sure EdgeLine is going to stay closed-source. What we have heard so far suggests that it will be a commercial product with a limited free version available.

Also i can’t figure out how to export the design to C code? there is nowhere a button for it or in the menu.

This is planned but is not available yet in the initial beta.

I tested the beta today. It is beautifully designed. Any interface can be designed in a very short time. We have been waiting for such a design program for a long time. Hopefully it would be free for non-commercial use. And please don’t exaggerate the price for high resolution applications.

[kisvegabor]

Edgeline will be really close sourced.

Our policy is to get money if you also make money with your product.
Therefore we are planning 3 plans:

• Free: limited number of screens/widgets, some features and disabled, not for commercial use
• Standard: very cheap (monthly or yearly subscription), some limitation but commercial use is ok
• Professional: still cheaper than the competitors, no limitations

What’s your best estimate for a release date (beta version or V1.0 release) that could be used for a real (commercial) 480x800 pixel project?

[kisvegabor]

We are adding features incrementally. I can’t say an exact date now but I’ll keep you updated.

Hi @kisvegabor, I see that ejecutable of program beta is .exe. Edgeline is only for Windows? I’m using Linux for that I questions

[kisvegabor]

It will be cross-platform. We are working on the Linux and OSX versions.

[mtk07926]

so after User design done, we can get the lvgl ui code
directly ,am I right ?

[kisvegabor]

Exactly!

[juneofive]

We hope to open up character resources so that we can localize the program interface.

[kisvegabor]

Do mean to localize EdgeLine itself (menus, text, etc)?

[juneofive]

yes, someone wasn’t good at english,just like me
