OpenWire offers yot a free open source library for writing advanced VCL/FireMonkey(FMX) components for Delphi, C++ Builder and RAD Studio. The purpose of the OpenWire project is to introduce unified easy way to transfer data among different VCL/FireMonkey components. This is very similar to the way the products as LabView, Agilent VEE or Simulink work. For example, you could quickly build an application with a sine wave generator, which streams out to a chart and in parallel to a filter, which streams out to another chart and in parallel to a file logger, as well as to a serial communication sending the data to another system. And what makes this easy is that you do not write code: You build streams by connecting an OutputPin to one or more InputPins. The underlying technology pumps your data from pin to pin, in a multithreading safe fashion, allowing high performance data exchange. Also includes a Visual Graphical Editor for codeless development. OpenWire uses streams in order to transfer the data. Each stream is a connection between one output and one or multiple inputs. - Each component can have one or more inputs and/or outputs. - Each Input or Output is called Pin. I.E. there are IputPins and OutputPins. - Each OutputPin can stream specific format data to compatible format InputPins. - Each type of data has its own data specification.- Supports state pins, allowing components to share common state.
