Qt 0.93 for linux (C++ GUI framework)
in...@troll.no
Qt 0.93 has been uploaded to Sunsite, and will probably be available
in /pub/Linux/X11/devel soon. It is already downloadable from
http://www.troll.no/, where you will also find on-line and paper
documentation, screen shots and example programs.
Qt is an object-oriented framework for developing graphical user
interface applications. It includes more than 100 classes, both
GUI-specific and general utility classes, as well as support for
component programming (see http://www.troll.no/intro.html for a brief
overview with links to more detail). Qt is very fast and compact
because it is based directly on Xlib and uses neither Motif or X
Intrinsics. Qt's widgets (user interface objects) emulate the Motif
look and feel and in our opinion improve slightly on it.
The drawing engine in Qt is device independent (the exact same code
works on postscript printers and widgets, for example) and includes
advanced features like rotating text and pixmaps.
The main news in 0.93 is postscript documentation, even faster
drawing, rudimentary networking support, and a step-by-step tutorial
(see http://www.troll.no/qt/tutorial.html).
Qt is free for non-commercial and private/internal use on linux (see
the licence for details, http://www.troll.no/qt/license.html).
Here is a Hello world:
#include <qmsgbox.h>
#include <qapp.h>
int main( int argc, char **argv )
{
QApplication a( argc, argv );
return QMessageBox::message( "Attention", "Hello, world!" );
}
And here is the LSM entry:
