\section config Configuration
\subsection config_format Format
A configuration file is a free-form ASCII text file with a structure that
is similar to that of a Makefile. It is parsed by \c doxygen.
The file may contain tabs and newlines for formatting purposes.
The statements in the file are case-sensitive.
Comments may be placed anywhere within the file (except within quotes).
Comments begin with the \# character and end at the end of the
line.
The file essentially consists of a list of assignment statements.
Each statement consists of a \c TAG_NAME written in capitals,
followed by the = character and one or more values. If the same tag
is assigned more than once, the last assignment overwrites any earlier
assignment. For options that take a list as their argument,
the += operator can be used instead of = to append
new values to the list. Values are sequences of non-blanks. If the value should
contain one or more blanks it must be surrounded by quotes ("...").
Multiple lines can be concatenated by inserting a backslash (\\)
as the last character of a line. Environment variables can be expanded
using the pattern \c $(ENV_VARIABLE_NAME).
You can also include part of a configuration file from another configuration
file using a \@INCLUDE tag as follows:
\verbatim
@INCLUDE = config_file_name
\endverbatim
The include file is searched in the current working directory. You can
also specify a list of directories that should be searched before looking
in the current working directory. Do this by putting a \@INCLUDE_PATH tag
with these paths before the \@INCLUDE tag, e.g:
\verbatim
@INCLUDE_PATH = my_config_dir
\endverbatim
The configuration options can be divided into several categories.
Below is an alphabetical index of the tags that are recognized
followed by the descriptions of the tags grouped by category.
\htmlonly
\addindex PROJECT_NAME
The \c PROJECT_NAME tag is a single word (or a sequence of words
surrounded by double-quotes) that should identify the project for which the
documentation is generated. This name is used in the title of most
generated pages and in a few other places.
\anchor cfg_project_number
\c PROJECT_NUMBER
\addindex PROJECT_NUMBER
The \c PROJECT_NUMBER tag can be used to enter a project or revision number.
This could be handy for archiving the generated documentation or
if some version control system is used.
\anchor cfg_output_directory
\c OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
\addindex OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
The \c OUTPUT_DIRECTORY tag is used to specify the (relative or absolute)
path into which the generated HTML and Latex documentation will be written.
If a relative path is entered, it will be relative to the location
where doxygen was started. If left blank the current directory will be used.
\anchor cfg_output_language
\c OUTPUT_LANGUAGE
\addindex OUTPUT_LANGUAGE
The \c OUTPUT_LANGUAGE tag is used to specify the language in which all
documentation generated by doxygen is written. Doxygen will use this
information to generate all constant output in the proper language.
The default language is English, other supported languages are:
Dutch, French, Italian, Czech, Swedish, German, Finnish, Hungarian, Japanese,
Korean, Spanish, Russian, Croatian, Polish and Portuguese.
\anchor cfg_disable_index
\c DISABLE_INDEX
\addindex DISABLE_INDEX
If you want full control over the layout of the generated HTML pages it
might be necessary to disable the index and replace it with your own.
The \c DISABLE_INDEX tag can be used to turn on/off the condensed index at
top of each page. A value of NO (the default) enables the index and the
value YES disables it.
\anchor cfg_extract_all
\c EXTRACT_ALL
\addindex EXTRACT_ALL
If the \c EXTRACT_ALL tag is set to \c YES doxygen will assume all
entities in documentation are documented, even if no documentation was
available. Private class members and static file members will be hidden
unless the \c EXTRACT_PRIVATE and \c EXTRACT_STATIC tags are set to \c YES
\par Note:
This will also disable the warnings about undocumented members
that are normally produced when \c WARNINGS is set to \c YES
\anchor cfg_extract_private
\c EXTRACT_PRIVATE
\addindex EXTRACT_PRIVATE
If the \c EXTRACT_PRIVATE tag is set to \c YES all private members of a
class will be included in the documentation.
\anchor cfg_extract_static
\c EXTRACT_STATIC
\addindex EXTRACT_STATIC
If the \c EXTRACT_STATIC tag is set to \c YES all static members of a file
will be included in the documentation.
\anchor cfg_hide_undoc_members
\c HIDE_UNDOC_MEMBERS
\addindex HIDE_UNDOC_MEMBERS
If the \c HIDE_UNDOC_MEMBERS tag is set to \c YES, Doxygen will hide all
undocumented members inside documented classes or files.
If set to \c NO (the default) these members will be included in the
various overviews, but no documentation section is generated.
This option has no effect if \c EXTRACT_ALL is enabled.
\anchor cfg_hide_undoc_classes
\c HIDE_UNDOC_CLASSES
\addindex HIDE_UNDOC_CLASSES
If the \c HIDE_UNDOC_CLASSESS tag is set to \c YES, Doxygen will hide all
undocumented classes.
If set to \c NO (the default) these classes will be included in the
various overviews.
This option has no effect if \c EXTRACT_ALL is enabled.
\anchor cfg_brief_member_desc
\c BRIEF_MEMBER_DESC
\addindex BRIEF_MEMBER_DESC
If the \c BRIEF_MEMBER_DESC tag is set to \c YES (the default) Doxygen will
include brief member descriptions after the members that are listed in
the file and class documentation (similar to JavaDoc).
Set to NO to disable this.
\anchor cfg_repeat_brief
\c REPEAT_BRIEF
\addindex REPEAT_BRIEF
If the \c REPEAT_BRIEF tag is set to \c YES (the default) Doxygen will
prepend the brief description of a member or function before the detailed
description
\par Note:
If both \c HIDE_UNDOC_MEMBERS and \c BRIEF_MEMBER_DESC are set to \c NO, the
brief descriptions will be completely suppressed.
\anchor cfg_always_detailed_sec
\c ALWAYS_DETAILED_SEC
\addindex ALWAYS_DETAILED_SEC
If the \c ALWAYS_DETAILED_SEC and \c REPEAT_BRIEF tags are both set to \c YES then
Doxygen will generate a detailed section even if there is only a brief
description.
\anchor cfg_full_path_names
\c FULL_PATH_NAMES
\addindex FULL_PATH_NAMES
If the \c FULL_PATH_NAMES tag is set to \c YES Doxygen will prepend the full
path before files name in the file list and in the header files. If set
to NO the shortest path that makes the file name unique will be used
\anchor cfg_strip_from_path
\c STRIP_FROM_PATH
\addindex STRIP_FROM_PATH
If the \c FULL_PATH_NAMES tag is set to \c YES then the \c STRIP_FROM_PATH tag
can be used to strip a user defined part of the path. Stripping is
only done if one of the specified strings matches the left-hand part of the
path.
\anchor cfg_internal_docs
\c INTERNAL_DOCS
\addindex INTERNAL_DOCS
The \c INTERNAL_DOCS tag determines if documentation
that is typed after a \\internal command is included. If the tag is set
to \c NO (the default) then the documentation will be excluded.
Set it to \c YES to include the internal documentation.
\anchor cfg_class_diagrams
\c CLASS_DIAGRAMS
\addindex CLASS_DIAGRAMS
If the \c CLASS_DIAGRAMS tag is set to \c YES (the default) Doxygen will
generate a class diagram (in Html and \f$\mbox{\LaTeX}\f$) for classes with base or
super classes. Setting the tag to \c NO turns the diagrams off.
\anchor cfg_source_browser
\c SOURCE_BROWSER
\addindex SOURCE_BROWSER
If the \c SOURCE_BROWSER tag is set to \c YES then a list of source files will
be generated. Documented entities will be cross-referenced with these sources.
\anchor cfg_inline_sources
\c INLINE_SOURCES
\addindex INLINE_SOURCES
Setting the \c INLINE_SOURCES tag to \c YES will include the body
of functions, classes and enums directly into the documentation.
\anchor cfg_strip_code_comments
\c STRIP_CODE_COMMENTS
\addindex STRIP_CODE_COMMENTS
Setting the \c STRIP_CODE_COMMENTS tag to \c YES (the default) will instruct
doxygen to hide any special comment blocks from generated source code
fragments. Normal C and C++ comments will always remain visible.
\anchor cfg_case_sense_names
\c CASE_SENSE_NAMES
\addindex CASE_SENSE_NAMES
If the \c CASE_SENSE_NAMES tag is set to \c NO (the default) then Doxygen
will only generate file names in lower case letters. If set to
\c YES upper case letters are also allowed. This is useful if you have
classes or files whose names only differ in case and if your file system
supports case sensitive file names.
\anchor cfg_hide_scope_names
\c HIDE_SCOPE_NAMES
\addindex HIDE_SCOPE_NAMES
If the \c HIDE_SCOPE_NAMES tag is set to \c NO (the default) then Doxygen
will show members with their full class and namespace scopes in the
documentation. If set to \c YES the scope will be hidden.
\anchor cfg_verbatim_headers
\c VERBATIM_HEADERS
\addindex VERBATIM_HEADERS
If the \c VERBATIM_HEADERS tag is set the \c YES (the default) then Doxygen
will generate a verbatim copy of the header file for each class for
which an include is specified. Set to NO to disable this.
\sa Section \ref cmdclass "\\class".
\anchor cfg_show_include_files
\c SHOW_INCLUDE_FILES
\addindex SHOW_INCLUDE_FILES
If the SHOW_INCLUDE_FILES tag is set to YES (the default) then Doxygen
will put list of the files that are included by a file in the documentation
of that file.
\anchor cfg_javadoc_autobrief
\c JAVADOC_AUTOBRIEF
\addindex JAVADOC_AUTOBRIEF
If the \c JAVADOC_AUTOBRIEF is set to \c YES then Doxygen
will interpret the first line (until the first dot) of a JavaDoc-style
comment as the brief description. If set to NO (the default), the
Javadoc-style will behave just like the Qt-style comments.
\anchor cfg_inherit_docs
\c INHERIT_DOCS
\addindex INHERIT_DOCS
If the \c INHERIT_DOCS tag is set to \c YES (the default) then an undocumented
member inherits the documentation from any documented member that it
reimplements.
\anchor cfg_inline_info
\c INLINE_INFO
\addindex INLINE_INFO
If the \c INLINE_INFO tag is set to \c YES (the default) then a tag [inline]
is inserted in the documentation for inline members.
\anchor cfg_sort_member_docs
\c SORT_MEMBER_DOCS
\addindex SORT_MEMBER_DOCS
If the \c SORT_MEMBER_DOCS tag is set to \c YES (the default) then doxygen
will sort the (detailed) documentation of file and class members
alphabetically by member name. If set to \c NO the members will appear in
declaration order.
\anchor cfg_distribute_group_doc
\c DISTRIBUTE_GROUP_DOC
\addindex DISTRIBUTE_GROUP_DOC
If member grouping is used in the documentation and the DISTRIBUTE_GROUP_DOC
tag is set to YES, then doxygen will reuse the documentation of the first
member in the group (if any) for the other members of the group. By default
all members of a group must be documented explicitly.
\anchor cfg_tab_size
\c TAB_SIZE
\addindex TAB_SIZE
the \c TAB_SIZE tag can be used to set the number of spaces in a tab.
Doxygen uses this value to replace tabs by spaces in code fragments.
\anchor cfg_enabled_sections
\c ENABLED_SECTIONS
\addindex ENABLED_SECTIONS
The \c ENABLE_SECTIONS tag can be used to enable conditional
documentation sections, marked by \ref cmdif "\\if" \ ...
\ref cmdendif "\\endif" blocks.
\anchor cfg_generate_todolist
\c GENERATE_TODOLIST
\addindex GENERATE_TODOLIST
The GENERATE_TODOLIST tag can be used to enable (YES) or
disable (NO) the todo list. This list is created by
putting \ref cmdtodo "\\todo"
commands in the documentation.
\anchor cfg_generate_testlist
\c GENERATE_TESTLIST
\addindex GENERATE_TESTLIST
The GENERATE_TESTLIST tag can be used to enable (YES) or
disable (NO) the test list. This list is created by
putting \ref cmdtest "\\test" commands in the documentation.
\anchor cfg_aliases
\c ALIASES
\addindex ALIASES
This tag can be used to specify a number of aliases that acts
as commands in the documentation. An alias has the form
\verbatim
name=value
\endverbatim
For example adding
\verbatim
"sideeffect=\par Side Effects:\n"
\endverbatim
will allow you to
put the command \\sideeffect (or \@sideeffect) in the documentation, which
will result in a user defined paragraph with heading "Side Effects:".
You can put \\n's in the value part of an alias to insert newlines.
\subsection messages_input Options related to warning and progress messages
\anchor cfg_quiet
\c QUIET
\addindex QUIET
The \c QUIET tag can be used to turn on/off the messages that are generated
to standard output by doxygen. Possible values are \c YES and \c NO,
where \c YES implies that the messages are off.
If left blank \c NO is used.
\anchor cfg_warnings
\c WARNINGS
\addindex WARNINGS
The \c WARNINGS tag can be used to turn on/off the warning messages that are
generated to standard error by doxygen. Possible values are \c YES and \c NO,
where \c YES implies that the warnings are on. If left blank \c NO is used.
\b Tip: Turn warnings on while writing the documentation.
\anchor cfg_warn_if_undocumented
\c WARN_IF_UNDOCUMENTED
\addindex WARN_IF_UNDOCUMENTED
If \c WARN_IF_UNDOCUMENTED is set to \c YES, then doxygen will generate warnings
for undocumented members. If \c EXTRACT_ALL is set to \c YES then this flag will
automatically be disabled.
\anchor cfg_warn_format
\c WARN_FORMAT
\addindex WARN_FORMAT
The \c WARN_FORMAT tag determines the format of the warning messages that
doxygen can produce. The string should contain the \$file,
\$line, and \$text
tags, which will be replaced by the file and line number from which the
warning originated and the warning text.
\anchor cfg_warn_logfile
\c WARN_LOGFILE
\addindex WARN_LOGFILE
The \c WARN_LOGFILE tag can be used to specify a file to which warning
and error messages should be written. If left blank the output is written
to stderr.
\subsection config_input Input related options
\anchor cfg_input
\c INPUT
\addindex INPUT
The \c INPUT tag is used to specify the files and/or directories that contain
documented source files. You may enter file names like
\c myfile.cpp or directories like \c /usr/src/myproject.
Separate the files or directories with spaces.
\b Note:
This tag (and only this tag) is \e required.
\anchor cfg_file_patterns
\c FILE_PATTERNS
\addindex FILE_PATTERNS
If the value of the \c INPUT tag contains directories, you can use the
\c FILE_PATTERNS tag to specify one or more wildcard patterns
(like \c *.cpp and \c *.h ) to filter out the source-files
in the directories. If left blank all files are included
(i.e. wildcard *).
\anchor cfg_recursive
\c RECURSIVE
\addindex RECURSIVE
The \c RECURSIVE tag can be used to specify whether or not subdirectories
should be searched for input files as well. Possible values are \c YES
and \c NO. If left blank \c NO is used.
\anchor cfg_exclude
\c EXCLUDE
\addindex EXCLUDE
The \c EXCLUDE tag can be used to specify files and/or directories that should
excluded from the \c INPUT source files. This way you can easily exclude a
subdirectory from a directory tree whose root is specified with the \c INPUT tag.
\anchor cfg_exclude_patterns
\c EXCLUDE_PATTERNS
\addindex EXCLUDE_PATTERNS
If the value of the \c INPUT tag contains directories, you can use the
\c EXCLUDE_PATTERNS tag to specify one or more wildcard patterns to exclude
certain files from those directories.
\anchor cfg_example_path
\c EXAMPLE_PATH
\addindex EXAMPLE_PATH
The \c EXAMPLE_PATH tag can be used to specify one or more files or
directories that contain example code fragments that are included (see
the \\include command in section \ref cmdinclude "\\include").
\anchor cfg_example_patterns
\c EXAMPLE_PATTERNS
\addindex EXAMPLE_PATTERNS
If the value of the \c EXAMPLE_PATH tag contains directories, you can use the
\c EXAMPLE_PATTERNS tag to specify one or more wildcard pattern (like *.cpp
and *.h) to filter out the source-files in the directories. If left
blank all files are included.
\anchor cfg_image_path
\c IMAGE_PATH
\addindex IMAGE_PATH
The \c IMAGE_PATH tag can be used to specify one or more files or
directories that contain images that are to be included in the
documentation (see the \ref cmdimage "\image" command).
\anchor cfg_input_filter
\c INPUT_FILTER
\addindex INPUT_FILTER
The \c INPUT_FILTER tag can be used to specify a program that doxygen should
invoke to filter for each input file. Doxygen will invoke the filter program
by executing (via popen()) the command:
\verbatim
\endverbatim
where \
is the value of the \c INPUT_FILTER tag, and \ is the name of an
input file. Doxygen will then use the output that the filter program writes
to standard output.
\subsection alphabetical_index Alphabetical index options
\anchor cfg_alphabetical_index
\c ALPHABETICAL_INDEX
\addindex ALPHABETICAL_INDEX
If the \c ALPHABETICAL_INDEX tag is set to \c YES, an alphabetical index
of all compounds will be generated. Enable this if the project contains
a lot of classes, structs, unions or interfaces.
\anchor cfg_cols_in_alpha_index
\c COLS_IN_ALPHA_INDEX
\addindex COLS_IN_ALPHA_INDEX
If the alphabetical index is enabled
(see \c ALPHABETICAL_INDEX) then the \c COLS_IN_ALPHA_INDEX tag can be
used to specify the number of columns in which this list will be split (can be a number in the range [1..20])
\anchor cfg_ignore_prefix
\c IGNORE_PREFIX
\addindex IGNORE_PREFIX
In case all classes in a project start with a common prefix, all classes will
be put under the same header in the alphabetical index.
The \c IGNORE_PREFIX tag can be used to specify a prefix
(or a list of prefixes) that should be ignored while generating the index
headers.
\subsection html_output HTML related options
\anchor cfg_generate_html
\c GENERATE_HTML
\addindex GENERATE_HTML
If the \c GENERATE_HTML tag is set to \c YES (the default) Doxygen will
generate HTML output
\anchor cfg_html_output
\c HTML_OUTPUT
\addindex HTML_OUTPUT
The \c HTML_OUTPUT tag is used to specify where the HTML docs will be put.
If a relative path is entered the value of \c OUTPUT_DIRECTORY will be
put in front of it. If left blank `html' will be used as the default path.
\anchor cfg_html_header
\c HTML_HEADER
\addindex HTML_HEADER
The \c HTML_HEADER tag can be used to specify a user defined HTML
header file for each generated HTML page. To get valid HTML the header file
should contain at least a \c and a \c tag, but it is
good idea to include the style sheet that is generated by doxygen as well.
Minimal example:
\verbatim
My title
\endverbatim
If the tag is left blank doxygen will generate a
standard header.
The following commands have a special meaning inside the header:
\$title, \$datetime, \$date,
\$doxygenversion, \$projectname,
\$projectnumber.
Doxygen will replace them by respectively
the title of the page, the current date and time, only the current date,
the version number of doxygen, the project name (see \c PROJECT_NAME), or the
project number (see \c PROJECT_NUMBER).
See also section \ref doxygen_usage for information on how to generate
the default header that doxygen normally uses.
\anchor cfg_html_footer
\c HTML_FOOTER
\addindex HTML_FOOTER
The \c HTML_FOOTER tag can be used to specify a user defined HTML footer for
each generated HTML page. To get valid HTML the header file should contain
at least a \c and a \c tag. A minimal example:
\verbatim
\endverbatim
If the tag is left blank doxygen will generate a standard footer.
The following commands have a special meaning inside the header:
\$title, \$datetime, \$date,
\$doxygenversion, \$projectname,
\$projectnumber.
Doxygen will replace them by respectively
the title of the page, the current date and time, only the current date,
the version number of doxygen, the project name (see \c PROJECT_NAME), or the
project number (see \c PROJECT_NUMBER).
See also section \ref doxygen_usage for information on how to generate
the default footer that doxygen normally uses.
\anchor cfg_html_stylesheet
\c HTML_STYLESHEET
\addindex HTML_STYLESHEET
The \c HTML_STYLESHEET tag can be used to specify a user defined cascading
style sheet that is used by each HTML page. It can be used to
fine-tune the look of the HTML output. If the tag is left blank doxygen
will generate a default style sheet.
See also section \ref doxygen_usage for information on how to generate
the style sheet that doxygen normally uses.
\anchor cfg_html_align_members
\c HTML_ALIGN_MEMBERS
\addindex HTML_ALIGN_MEMBERS
If the \c HTML_ALIGN_MEMBERS tag is set to \c YES, the members of classes,
files or namespaces will be aligned in HTML using tables. If set to
\c NO a bullet list will be used.
Note:
Setting this tag to \c NO will become obsolete in the future, since I only
intent to support and test the aligned representation.
\anchor cfg_generate_htmlhelp
\c GENERATE_HTMLHELP
\addindex GENERATE_HTMLHELP
If the \c GENERATE_HTMLHELP tag is set to \c YES then
doxygen generates three additional HTML index files:
\c index.hhp, \c index.hhc, and \c index.hhk. The \c index.hhp is a
project file that can be read by
Microsoft HTML help workshop
\latexonly
(see http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/htmlhelp)
\endlatexonly
on Windows.
The HTML workshop contains a compiler that can convert all HTML output
generated by doxygen into a single compressed HTML file (.chm). Compressed
HTML files are now used as the Windows 98 help format, and will replace
the old windows help format (.hlp) on all Windows platforms in the future.
Compressed HTML files also contain an index, a table of contents,
and you can search for words in the documentation
(which basically renders \c doxysearch obsolete on Windows).
The HTML workshop also contains a viewer for compressed HTML files.
\subsection latex_output LaTeX related options
\anchor cfg_generate_latex
\c GENERATE_LATEX
\addindex GENERATE_LATEX
If the \c GENERATE_LATEX tag is set to \c YES (the default) Doxygen will
generate Latex output.

put in front of it. If left blank `latex' will be used as the default path.
\anchor cfg_compact_latex
\c COMPACT_LATEX
\addindex COMPACT_LATEX
If the \c COMPACT_LATEX tag is set to \c YES Doxygen generates more compact
\f$\mbox{\LaTeX}\f$ documents. This may be useful for small projects and may help to
save some trees in general.
\anchor cfg_paper_type
\c PAPER_TYPE
\addindex PAPER_TYPE
The \c PAPER_TYPE tag can be used to set the paper type that is used
by the printer. Possible values are:
a4 (210 x 297 mm).
a4wide (same as a4, but including the a4wide package).
letter (8.5 x 11 inches).
legal (8.5 x 14 inches).
executive (7.25 x 10.5 inches)
If left blank a4wide will be used.
\anchor cfg_extra_packages
\c EXTRA_PACKAGES
\addindex EXTRA_PACKAGES
The \c EXTRA_PACKAGES tag can be used to specify one or more \f$\mbox{\LaTeX}\f$
package names that should be included in the \f$\mbox{\LaTeX}\f$ output.
To get the times font for instance you can specify
\verbatim
EXTRA_PACKAGES = times
\endverbatim
If left blank no extra packages will be included.
\anchor cfg_latex_header
\c LATEX_HEADER
\addindex LATEX_HEADER
The \c LATEX_HEADER tag can be used to specify a personal \f$\mbox{\LaTeX}\f$
header for the generated latex document. The header should contain everything
until the first chapter.
If it is left blank doxygen will generate a
standard header. See section \ref doxygen_usage for information on how to
let doxygen write the default header to a separate file.
\par Note:
Only use a user defined header if you know what you are doing!
The following commands have a special meaning inside the header:
\$title, \$datetime, \$date,
\$doxygenversion, \$projectname,
\$projectnumber.
Doxygen will replace them by respectively
the title of the page, the current date and time, only the current date,
the version number of doxygen, the project name (see \c PROJECT_NAME), or the
project number (see \c PROJECT_NUMBER).
\anchor cfg_pdf_hyperlinks
\c PDF_HYPERLINKS
\addindex PDF_HYPERLINKS
If the \c PDF_HYPERLINKS tag is set to \c YES, the LaTeX that is generated
is prepared for conversion to pdf (using ps2pdf). The pdf file will
contain links (just like the HTML output) instead of page references
This makes the output suitable for online browsing using a pdf viewer.
\anchor cfg_latex_batchmode
\c LATEX_BATCHMODE
\addindex LATEX_BATCHMODE
If the \c LATEX_BATCHMODE tag is set to \c YES, doxygen will add the \\batchmode.
command to the generated \f$\mbox{\LaTeX}\f$ files. This will
instruct \f$\mbox{\LaTeX}\f$ to keep running if errors occur, instead of
asking the user for help. This option is also used when generating formulas
in HTML.
\subsection rtf_output RTF related options
\anchor cfg_generate_rtf
\c GENERATE_RTF
\addindex GENERATE_RTF
If the \c GENERATE_RTF tag is set to \c YES Doxygen will generate RTF output.
The RTF output is optimised for Word 97 and may not look too pretty with
other readers/editors.
\anchor cfg_rtf_output
\c RTF_OUTPUT
\addindex RTF_OUTPUT
The \c RTF_OUTPUT tag is used to specify where the RTF docs will be put.
If a relative path is entered the value of \c OUTPUT_DIRECTORY will be
put in front of it. If left blank \c rtf will be used as the default path.
\anchor cfg_compact_rtf
\c COMPACT_RTF
\addindex COMPACT_RTF
If the \c COMPACT_RTF tag is set to \c YES Doxygen generates more compact
RTF documents. This may be useful for small projects and may help to
save some trees in general.
\anchor cfg_rtf_hyperlinks
\c RTF_HYPERLINKS
\addindex RTF_HYPERLINKS
If the \c RTF_HYPERLINKS tag is set to \c YES, the RTF that is generated
will contain hyperlink fields. The RTF file will
contain links (just like the HTML output) instead of page references.
This makes the output suitable for online browsing using Word or some other
Word compatible reader that support those fields.
\par note:
wordpad (write) and others do not support links.
\anchor cfg_rtf_stylesheet_file
\c RTF_STYLESHEET_FILE
\addindex RTF_STYLESHEET_FILE
Load stylesheet definitions from file. Syntax is similar to doxygen's
config file, i.e. a series of assigments. You only have to provide
replacements, missing definitions are set to their default value.
See also section \ref doxygen_usage for information on how to generate
the default style sheet that doxygen normally uses.
\subsection man_output Man page related options
\anchor cfg_generate_man
\c GENERATE_MAN
\addindex GENERATE_MAN
If the \c GENERATE_MAN tag is set to \c YES (the default) Doxygen will
generate man pages for classes and files.
\anchor cfg_man_output
\c MAN_OUTPUT
\addindex MAN_OUTPUT
The \c MAN_OUTPUT tag is used to specify where the man pages will be put.
If a relative path is entered the value of \c OUTPUT_DIRECTORY will be
put in front of it. If left blank `man' will be used as the default path.
A directory man3 will be created inside the directory specified by
\c MAN_OUTPUT.
\anchor cfg_man_extension
\c MAN_EXTENSION
\addindex MAX_EXTENSION
The \c MAN_EXTENSION tag determines the extension that is added to
the generated man pages (default is the subroutine's section .3)
\subsection config_prepro Preprocessor related options
\anchor cfg_enable_preprocessing
\c ENABLE_PREPROCESSING
\addindex ENABLE_PREPROCESSING
If the \c ENABLE_PREPROCESSING tag is set to \c YES (the default) Doxygen will
evaluate all C-preprocessor directives found in the sources and include
files.
\anchor cfg_macro_expansion
\c MACRO_EXPANSION
\addindex MACRO_EXPANSION
If the \c MACRO_EXPANSION tag is set to \c YES Doxygen will expand all macro
names in the source code. If set to \c NO (the default) only conditional
compilation will be performed. Macro expansion can be done in a controlled
way by setting \c EXPAND_ONLY_PREDEF to \c YES.
\anchor cfg_expand_only_predef
\c EXPAND_ONLY_PREDEF
\addindex EXPAND_ONLY_PREDEF
If the \c EXPAND_ONLY_PREDEF and \c MACRO_EXPANSION tags are both set to YES
then the macro expansion is limited to the macros specified with the
\c PREDEFINED and \c EXPAND_AS_PREDEFINED tags.
\anchor cfg_search_includes
\c SEARCH_INCLUDES
\addindex SEARCH_INCLUDES
If the \c SEARCH_INCLUDES tag is set to \c YES (the default) the includes files
in the \c INCLUDE_PATH (see below) will be search if a \#include is found.
\anchor cfg_include_path
\c INCLUDE_PATH
\addindex INCLUDE_PATH
The \c INCLUDE_PATH tag can be used to specify one or more directories that
contain include files that are not input files but should be processed by
the preprocessor.
\anchor cfg_predefined
\c PREDEFINED
\addindex PREDEFINED
The \c PREDEFINED tag can be used to specify one or more macro names that
are defined before the preprocessor is started (similar to the -D option of
gcc). The argument of the tag is a list of macros of the form:
name or name=definition (no spaces).
If the definition and the = are omitted =1 is assumed.
\anchor cfg_expand_as_defined
\c EXPAND_AS_DEFINED
\addindex EXPAND_AS_DEFINED
If the \c MACRO_EXPANSION and \c EXPAND_PREDEF_ONLY tags are set to \c YES then
this tag can be used to specify a list of macro names that should be expanded.
The macro definition that is found in the sources will be used.
Use the \c PREDEFINED tag if you want to use a different macro definition.
\addindex TAGFILES
The \c TAGFILES tag can be used to specify one or more tagfiles.
See section \ref doxytag_usage for more information about the usage of
tag files.
Optionally an initial location of the external documentation
can be added for each tagfile.
The format of a tag file without this location is as follows:
TAGFILES = file1 file2 ...
Adding location for the tag files is done as follows:
TAGFILES = file1=loc1 "file2 = loc2" ...
where \c loc1 and \c loc2 can be relative or absolute paths or URLs,
If a location is present for each tag, the installdox tool (see
section \ref installdox_usage for more information) does not
have to be run to correct the links.
\par Note:
Each tag file most have a unique name and if a tag file is not located
in the directory in which doxygen is run, you must also specify the
path to the tagfile here.
\anchor cfg_generate_tagfile
\c GENERATE_TAGFILE
\addindex GENERATE_TAGFILE
When a file name is specified after \c GENERATE_TAGFILE, doxygen will create
a tag file that is based on the input files it reads.
See section \ref doxytag_usage for more information about the usage of
tag files.
\anchor cfg_allexternals
\c ALLEXTERNALS
\addindex ALLEXTERNALS
If the \c ALLEXTERNALS tag is set to \c YES all external class will be listed
in the class index. If set to \c NO only the inherited external classes
will be listed.
\anchor cfg_perl_path
\c PERL_PATH
\addindex PERL_PATH
The \c PERL_PATH should be the absolute path and name of the perl script
interpreter (i.e. the result of `which perl').
\addindex HAVE_DOT
If you set the \c HAVE_DOT tag to \c YES then doxygen will assume the dot tool is
available from the path. This tool is part of
Graphviz, a graph
visualization toolkit from AT&T and Lucent Bell Labs. The other options in
this section have no effect if this option is set to \c NO (the default)
\anchor cfg_class_graph
\c CLASS_GRAPH
\addindex CLASS_GRAPH
If the \c CLASS_GRAPH and \c HAVE_DOT tags are set to \c YES then doxygen
will generate a graph for each documented class showing the direct and
indirect inheritance relations. Setting this tag to \c YES will force the
the \c CLASS_DIAGRAMS tag to NO.
\anchor cfg_collaboration_graph
\c COLLABORATION_GRAPH
\addindex COLLABORATION_GRAPH
If the \c COLLABORATION_GRAPH and \c HAVE_DOT tags are set to \c YES then doxygen
will generate a graph for each documented class showing the direct and
indirect implementation dependencies (inheritance, containment, and
class references variables) of the class with other documented classes.
\anchor cfg_include_graph
\c INCLUDE_GRAPH
\addindex INCLUDE_GRAPH
If the \c ENABLE_PREPROCESSING, \c INCLUDE_GRAPH, and \c HAVE_DOT tags are
set to \c YES then doxygen will generate a graph for each documented file
showing the direct and indirect include dependencies of the file with other
documented files.
\anchor cfg_included_by_graph
\c INCLUDED_BY_GRAPH
\addindex INCLUDED_BY_GRAPH
If the \c ENABLE_PREPROCESSING, \c INCLUDED_BY_GRAPH, and \c HAVE_DOT tags are
set to \c YES then doxygen will generate a graph for each documented header
file showing the documented files that directly or indirectly include this
file.
\anchor cfg_graphical_hierarchy
\c GRAPHICAL_HIERARCHY
\addindex GRAPHICAL_HIERATCHY
If the \c GRAPHICAL_HIERARCHY and \c HAVE_DOT tags are set to \c YES then
doxygen will graphical hierarchy of all classes instead of a textual one.
\anchor cfg_dot_path
\c DOT_PATH
\addindex DOT_PATH
This tag can be used to specify the path where the dot tool can be found.
If left blank, it is assumed the dot tool can be found on the path.
\anchor cfg_max_dot_graph_height
\c MAX_DOT_GRAPH_HEIGHT
\addindex MAX_DOT_GRAPH_HEIGHT
The \c MAX_DOT_GRAPH_HEIGHT tag can be used to set the maximum allows height
(in pixels) of the graphs generated by dot. If a graph becomes larger than
this value, doxygen will try to truncate the graph, so that it fits within
the specified constraint. Beware that most browsers cannot cope with very
large images.
\anchor cfg_max_dot_graph_width
\c MAX_DOT_GRAPH_WIDTH
\addindex MAX_DOT_GRAPH_WIDTH
The \c MAX_DOT_GRAPH_WIDTH tag can be used to set the maximum allowed width
(in pixels) of the graphs generated by dot. If a graph becomes larger than
this value, doxygen will try to truncate the graph, so that it fits within
the specified constraint. Beware that most browsers cannot cope with very
large images.
\anchor cfg_generate_legend
\c GENERATE_LEGEND
\addindex GENERATE_LEGEND
If the \c GENERATE_LEGEND tag is set to \c YES (the default) Doxygen will
generate a legend page explaining the meaning of the various boxes and
arrows in the dot generated graphs.
\addindex SEARCHENGINE
The \c SEARCHENGINE tag specifies whether or not a
search should be used. Possible values are \c YES and \c NO.
If set to \c NO or left blank, the values of all other tags in this section
will be ignored.
\anchor cfg_cgi_name
\c CGI_NAME
\addindex CGI_NAME
The \c CGI_NAME tag should be the name of the CGI script that
starts the search engine (doxysearch) with the correct parameters.
A script with this name will be generated by doxygen.
\anchor cfg_cgi_url
\c CGI_URL
\addindex CGI_URL
The \c CGI_URL tag should be the absolute URL to the directory where the
cgi binaries are located. See the documentation of your http daemon for
details.
\anchor cfg_doc_url
\c DOC_URL
\addindex DOC_URL
The \c DOC_URL tag should be the absolute URL to the directory where the
documentation is located. If left blank the absolute path to the
documentation, with \c file:// prepended to it, will be used.
This is correct for local viewing only.
\anchor cfg_doc_abspath
\c DOC_ABSPATH
\addindex DOC_ABSPATH
The \c DOC_ABSPATH tag should be the absolute path to the directory where the
documentation is located. If left blank the directory on the local machine
will be used.
\anchor cfg_bin_abspath
\c BIN_ABSPATH
\addindex BIN_ABSPATH
The \c BIN_ABSPATH tag must point to the directory where the doxysearch binary
is installed.
\anchor cfg_ext_doc_paths
\c EXT_DOC_PATHS
\addindex EXT_DOC_PATHS
The \c EXT_DOC_PATHS tag can be used to specify one or more paths to
documentation generated for other projects. This allows doxysearch to search
the documentation for these projects as well. All paths must be absolute.
Examples
Suppose you have a simple project consisting of two files: a source file
\c example.cc and a header file \c example.h.
Then a minimal configuration file is as simple as:
\verbatim
INPUT = example.cc example.h
\endverbatim
Assuming the example makes use of Qt classes and perl is located
in /usr/bin, a more realistic configuration file would be:
\verbatim
PROJECT_NAME = Example
INPUT = example.cc example.h
WARNINGS = YES
TAGFILES = qt.tag
PERL_PATH = /usr/bin/perl
SEARCHENGINE = NO
\endverbatim
To generate the documentation for the
QdbtTabular package
I have used the following configuration file:
\verbatim
PROJECT_NAME = QdbtTabular
OUTPUT_DIRECTORY = html
WARNINGS = YES
INPUT = examples/examples.doc src
FILE_PATTERNS = *.cc *.h
INCLUDE_PATH = examples
TAGFILES = qt.tag
PERL_PATH = /usr/local/bin/perl
SEARCHENGINE = YES
CGI_NAME = search.cgi
CGI_URL = http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/cgi-bin
DOC_URL = http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/qdbttabular
DOC_ABSPATH = /home/dimitri/.html/qdbttabular
BIN_ABSPATH = /home/dimitri/bin
\endverbatim
To regenerate the Qt-1.44 documentation from the sources, you could use the
following config file:
\verbatim
PROJECT_NAME = Qt
OUTPUT_DIRECTORY = qt_docs
HIDE_UNDOC_MEMBERS = YES
HIDE_UNDOC_CLASSES = YES
ENABLE_PREPROCESSING = YES
MACRO_EXPANSION = YES
EXPAND_ONLY_PREDEF = YES
SEARCH_INCLUDES = YES
FULL_PATH_NAMES = YES

FILE_PATTERNS = *.cpp *.h q*.doc
INCLUDE_PATH = $(QTDIR)/include
RECURSIVE = YES
\endverbatim
For the Qt-2.1 sources I recommand to use the following settings:
\verbatim
PROJECT_NAME = Qt
PROJECT_NUMBER = 2.1
HIDE_UNDOC_MEMBERS = YES
HIDE_UNDOC_CLASSES = YES
SOURCE_BROWSER = YES
INPUT = $(QTDIR)/src
FILE_PATTERNS = *.cpp *.h q*.doc
RECURSIVE = YES
EXCLUDE_PATTERNS = *codec.cpp moc_* */compat/* */3rdparty/*
ALPHABETICAL_INDEX = YES
COLS_IN_ALPHA_INDEX = 3
IGNORE_PREFIX = Q
ENABLE_PREPROCESSING = YES
MACRO_EXPANSION = YES
INCLUDE_PATH = $(QTDIR)/include
PREDEFINED = Q_PROPERTY(x)= \
Q_OVERRIDE(x)= \
Q_EXPORT= \
Q_ENUMS(x)= \
"QT_STATIC_CONST=static const " \
_WS_X11_ \
INCLUDE_MENUITEM_DEF
EXPAND_ONLY_PREDEF = YES
EXPAND_AS_DEFINED = Q_OBJECT_FAKE Q_OBJECT ACTIVATE_SIGNAL_WITH_PARAM \
Q_VARIANT_AS
\endverbatim
Here Doxygen's preprocessor is used to substitute some
macro names that are normally substituted by the C preprocessor,
but without doing full macro expansion.
