TouchGFX limitations

[srig]

Hi,

We have a system as below and we have proved that the whole design works fine with TouchGFX framework.

However, we are now evaluating if touchGFX is really sufficient for our full requirements. are there any known limitation with touchGFX ? from the forums following are the findings.

1. TouchGFX may not be suitable for advanced graphics like image rotations more than 90 degrees.

2. TouchGFX may not be suitable for 3D graphics, however some basic animations can be achieved via Texture mapping.

3. TouchGFX do no support audio.

However, I am not sure about the following 

1. Rendering google maps or any maps for real time assert tracking, I could not find any example or thread discussing this.

2.  support for h/w keys to control menu and screen ? this is one of the key requirement for our design as the design will be based on  hardware buttons/keys( upto 8 ). this product will not have touch screen.

can you please help ?  also any confirmation on map rendering will really help to speed up our design decision.

thanks
Sri

Hello @srig and welcome to the community.

You need to provide more details about your project and what your project is intended to use with TouchGFX.

Regarding your last question:

Many thanks for quick reply about button. Its really useful around buttons.

Our project intended to diplay various menu items and settings in different languages, I have confirmed thats all possible with touchGFX.

we have other requirements to render a 3D style pipe that is located in the mobile device and estimate the temperature at varioud locations and present it to the operator. 

als need to display the location of assert in real time as we have GNSS device connected all the time.

can please you confirm if last two are possible with touchGFX ?
