NAME
qt-designer - Visual user interface designer for Qt.
DESCRIPTION
Qt Designer simplifies the process of designing and creating graphical
user interfaces (GUI) using the award-winning Qt toolkit. Qt Designer
is easy to learn. There are tutorials, walkthrough examples and the
reference documentation accelerating you through the learning phase.
After that, Qt Designer greatly reduces the time and effort needed to
develop even the most complex dialogs with an easy-to-use GUI and an
integrated help system.
Qt Designer provides a rich set of features aimed at making the
creation of dialogs as easy and smooth as possible without reducing the
power of Qt. It offers all the strength of the Qt layout system with a
well-designed user interface. This, combined with the Qt Designer’s
undo/redo system makes it simple to try different arrangements of the
widgets until the result satisfies you.
Using Qt Designer’s convenient property editor along with the dynamic
Qt property system it is easy to set the initial state of your widgets.
Special editors for some widgets (like listboxes, comboboxes, etc.)
allow you to fill these widgets with content without writing any code.
Using the object hierarchy view, the parent-child relationship between
the widgets of a dialog can be understood at a glance.
Integrating dialogs into a Qt project is straightforward thanks to the
User Interface Compiler (UIC), which generates C++ code from the XML
dialog description on the fly. The programmer can easily extend the
functionality of the generated classes by subclassing without touching
generated code at all or running the risk of loosing their changes.
FILES
/usr/share/qt/tools/designer/*
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
QTDIR Specifies the Qt base directory. On Debian systems this should
be set to /usr/share/qt. The /usr/bin/designer wrapper script
takes care of this.
