Introduction

Storyboard Designer is a design and development environment for creating full-screen applications ready to be deployed to embedded environments using the Storyboard Embedded Engine.

Storyboard applications are designed to be full-screen user interfaces that are designed by graphics artists and designers.  Storyboard Designer incorporates graphic content directly into the application design process.  Rather than use a set of ‘skinnable’ desktop type widgets Storyboard Designer allows graphics designers to import their artwork and design files as images directly into the development tool.  These images (gif, jpeg, png and psd formats are all supported) are then used as control surfaces to which application developers can bind action behaviour based on input events.
