[[File:Extra500canvas.png|thumb|Work has begun to analyze, refactor and generalize useful parts of the [[Avidyne Entegra R9]] to help reuse some code in similar MFD efforts, like the [[Garmin GPSMap 196]] or [[Canvas EFB Framework]]]]

=== Towards an Aircraft-agnostic MFD Framework ===
[[File:Canvas-mfd-framework-prototyping.png|thumb|This is an adapted version of the [[Garmin GPSMap 196]] that is currently being developed by F-JJTH. Here, the whole instrument is entirely set up in XML space, including buttons/event handling, but also the embedded canvas region that serves as the 'screen'. The idea is to allow arbitrary MFDs to be specified in an aircraft-agnostic fashion, including displays like a PFD, [[NavDisplay]] or EFB. For details, please see [[Canvas Glass Cockpit Efforts]].]]
