The below illustration describes the workflow with Guiliani
Figure 11 :
GUILiani workflow
1. Artist imports resources from PhotoBridge ( A free from TES tool to convert photoshop files )
, quick view
2. Interaction designer stitches together event based application flow
3. GSE’s resource generator creates XML & Resources files ( .h, .lang, .png, jpeg )
4. Programmer can visualize the GUI interaction using these resources and Guiliani run-time
5. The produced resources can be imported to a embedded target and visualized using a runtime port
6. Developer programs the application logic and binds data to the GUI
7. Resulting GUI on the target
PhotoBridge is a free tool provided by TES with the SDK to export resources and specification of GUI
objects in XML. Some of the features of PhotoBridge are
 Supports PSD formats upto CS4
 Exports text as “real” text not as bitmaps, Bitmap option also available
 Preserves transparency of GUI objects
 Hierarchy based naming convention
 Visualize object tree and properties
 Edit object properties & associations
 Ability to add multiple PSD files and create associations
 Handles all layer properties
 Support for font export

PhotoBridge is available for a free download from http://support.tesbv.com
