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 \$(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. \secreflist \refitem cfg_abbreviate_brief ABBREVIATE_BRIEF \refitem

\c DOXYFILE_ENCODING
\addindex DOXYFILE_ENCODING This tag specifies the encoding used for all characters in the config file that follow. The default is UTF-8 which is also the encoding used for all text before the first occurrence of this tag. Doxygen uses libiconv (or the iconv built into libc) for the transcoding. See http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv for the list of possible encodings. \anchor cfg_project_name
\c PROJECT_NAME
\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_project_brief
\c PROJECT_BRIEF
Using the \c PROJECT_BRIEF tag one can provide an optional one line description for a project that appears at the top of each page and should give viewer a quick idea about the purpose of the project. Keep the description short. \anchor cfg_project_logo
\c PROJECT_LOGO
With the \c PROJECT_LOGO tag one can specify an logo or icon that is included in the documentation. The maximum height of the logo should not exceed 55 pixels and the maximum width should not exceed 200 pixels. Doxygen will copy the logo to the output directory. \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 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_create_subdirs
\c CREATE_SUBDIRS
\addindex CREATE_SUBDIRS If the \c CREATE_SUBDIRS tag is set to \c YES, then doxygen will create 4096 sub-directories (in 2 levels) under the output directory of each output format and will distribute the generated files over these directories. Enabling this option can be useful when feeding doxygen a huge amount of source files, where putting all generated files in the same directory would otherwise causes performance problems for the file system. \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: Afrikaans, Arabic, Brazilian, Catalan, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Serbian-Cyrillic, Slovak, Slovene, Spanish, Swedish, and Ukrainian. \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_abbreviate_brief
\c ABBREVIATE_BRIEF
\addindex ABBREVIATE_BRIEF This tag implements a quasi-intelligent brief description abbreviator that is used to form the text in various listings. Each string in this list, if found as the leading text of the brief description, will be stripped from the text and the result after processing the whole list, is used as the annotated text. Otherwise, the brief description is used as-is. If left blank, the following values are used ("\$name" is automatically replaced with the name of the entity): "The $name class" "The $name widget" "The $name file" "is" "provides" "specifies" "contains" "represents" "a" "an" "the". \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_inline_inherited_memb
\c INLINE_INHERITED_MEMB
\addindex INLINE_INHERITED_MEMB If the \c INLINE_INHERITED_MEMB tag is set to \c YES, doxygen will show all inherited members of a class in the documentation of that class as if those members were ordinary class members. Constructors, destructors and assignment operators of the base classes will not be shown. \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. The tag can be used to show relative paths in the file list. If left blank the directory from which doxygen is run is used as the path to strip. \anchor cfg_strip_from_inc_path
\c STRIP_FROM_INC_PATH
\addindex STRIP_FROM_INC_PATH The \c STRIP_FROM_INC_PATH tag can be used to strip a user-defined part of the path mentioned in the documentation of a class, which tells the reader which header file to include in order to use a class. If left blank only the name of the header file containing the class definition is used. Otherwise one should specify the include paths that are normally passed to the compiler using the -I flag. \anchor cfg_short_names
\c SHORT_NAMES
\addindex SHORT_NAMES If the \c SHORT_NAMES tag is set to \c YES, doxygen will generate much shorter (but less readable) file names. This can be useful is your file systems doesn't support long names like on DOS, Mac, or CD-ROM. \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 regular Qt-style comments (thus requiring an explicit \@brief command for a brief description.) \anchor cfg_qt_autobrief
\c QT_AUTOBRIEF
\addindex QT_AUTOBRIEF If the \c QT_AUTOBRIEF is set to \c YES then doxygen will interpret the first line (until the first dot) of a Qt-style comment as the brief description. If set to NO (the default), the Qt-style will behave just like regular Qt-style comments (thus requiring an explicit \\brief command for a brief description.) \anchor cfg_builtin_stl_support
\c BUILTIN_STL_SUPPORT
\addindex BUILTIN_STL_SUPPORT If you use STL classes (i.e. std::string, std::vector, etc.) but do not want to include (a tag file for) the STL sources as input, then you should set this tag to \c YES in order to let doxygen match functions declarations and definitions whose arguments contain STL classes (e.g. func(std::string); versus func(std::string) {}). This also make the inheritance and collaboration diagrams that involve STL classes more complete and accurate. \anchor cfg_cpp_cli_support
\c CPP_CLI_SUPPORT
\addindex CPP_CLI_SUPPORT If you use Microsoft's C++/CLI language, you should set this option to YES to enable parsing support. \anchor cfg_sip_support
\c SIP_SUPPORT
\addindex OPTIMIZE_OUTPUT_SIP Set the SIP_SUPPORT tag to YES if your project consists of sip sources only. Doxygen will parse them like normal C++ but will assume all classes use public instead of private inheritance when no explicit protection keyword is present. \anchor cfg_idl_property_support
\c IDL_PROPERTY_SUPPORT
\addindex IDL_PROPERTY_SUPPORT For Microsoft's IDL there are propget and propput attributes to indicate getter and setter methods for a property. Setting this option to \c YES (the default) will make doxygen to replace the get and set methods by a property in the documentation. This will only work if the methods are indeed getting or setting a simple type. If this is not the case, or you want to show the methods anyway, you should set this option to \c NO. \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_multiline_cpp_is_brief
\c MULTILINE_CPP_IS_BRIEF
\addindex MULTILINE_CPP_IS_BRIEF The MULTILINE_CPP_IS_BRIEF tag can be set to YES to make Doxygen treat a multi-line C++ special comment block (i.e. a block of //! or /// comments) as a brief description. This used to be the default behavior. The new default is to treat a multi-line C++ comment block as a detailed description. Set this tag to YES if you prefer the old behavior instead. Note that setting this tag to YES also means that rational rose comments are not recognized any more. \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 re-implements. \anchor cfg_separate_member_pages
\c SEPARATE_MEMBER_PAGES
\addindex SEPARATE_MEMBER_PAGES If the \c SEPARATE_MEMBER_PAGES tag is set to \c YES, then doxygen will produce a new page for each member. If set to \c NO, the documentation of a member will be part of the file/class/namespace that contains it. \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_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. \anchor cfg_optimize_output_for_c
\c OPTIMIZE_OUTPUT_FOR_C
\addindex OPTIMIZE_OUTPUT_FOR_C Set the \c OPTIMIZE_OUTPUT_FOR_C tag to \c YES if your project consists of C sources only. Doxygen will then generate output that is more tailored for C. For instance, some of the names that are used will be different. The list of all members will be omitted, etc. \anchor cfg_optimize_output_java
\c OPTIMIZE_OUTPUT_JAVA
\addindex OPTIMIZE_OUTPUT_JAVA Set the OPTIMIZE_OUTPUT_JAVA tag to YES if your project consists of Java or Python sources only. Doxygen will then generate output that is more tailored for that language. For instance, namespaces will be presented as packages, qualified scopes will look different, etc. \anchor cfg_optimize_for_fortran
\c OPTIMIZE_FOR_FORTRAN
\addindex OPTIMIZE_FOR_FORTRAN Set the \c OPTIMIZE_FOR_FORTRAN tag to \c YES if your project consists of Fortran sources. Doxygen will then generate output that is tailored for Fortran. \anchor cfg_optimize_output_vhdl
\c OPTIMIZE_OUTPUT_VHDL
\addindex OPTIMIZE_OUTPUT_VHDL Set the \c OPTIMIZE_OUTPUT_VHDL tag to \c YES if your project consists of VHDL sources. Doxygen will then generate output that is tailored for VHDL. \anchor cfg_extension_mapping
\c EXTENSION_MAPPING
\addindex EXTENSION_MAPPING Doxygen selects the parser to use depending on the extension of the files it parses. With this tag you can assign which parser to use for a given extension. Doxygen has a built-in mapping, but you can override or extend it using this tag. The format is ext=language, where ext is a file extension, and language is one of the parsers supported by doxygen: IDL, Java, Javascript, C#, C, C++, D, PHP, Objective-C, Python, Fortran, VHDL. For instance to make doxygen treat .inc files as Fortran files (default is PHP), and .f files as C (default is Fortran), use: inc=Fortran f=C \anchor cfg_subgrouping
\c SUBGROUPING
\addindex SUBGROUPING Set the \c SUBGROUPING tag to \c YES (the default) to allow class member groups of the same type (for instance a group of public functions) to be put as a subgroup of that type (e.g. under the Public Functions section). Set it to \c NO to prevent subgrouping. Alternatively, this can be done per class using the \ref cmdnosubgrouping "\\nosubgrouping" command. \anchor cfg_inline_grouped_classes
\c INLINE_GROUPED_CLASSES
\addindex INLINE_GROUPED_CLASSES When the \c INLINE_GROUPED_CLASSES tag is set to \c YES, classes, structs and unions are shown inside the group in which they are included (e.g. using @@ingroup) instead of on a separate page (for HTML and Man pages) or section (for LaTeX and RTF). Note that this feature does not work in combination with \ref cfg_separate_member_pages "SEPARATE_MEMBER_PAGES". \anchor cfg_typedef_hides_struct
\c TYPEDEF_HIDES_STRUCT
\addindex TYPEDEF_HIDES_STRUCT When \c TYPEDEF_HIDES_STRUCT is enabled, a typedef of a struct, union, or enum is documented as struct, union, or enum with the name of the typedef. So typedef struct TypeS {} TypeT, will appear in the documentation as a struct with name \c TypeT. When disabled the typedef will appear as a member of a file, namespace, or class. And the struct will be named \c TypeS. This can typically be useful for C code in case the coding convention dictates that all compound types are typedef'ed and only the typedef is referenced, never the tag name. \anchor cfg_symbol_cache_size
\c SYMBOL_CACHE_SIZE
\addindex SYMBOL_CACHE_SIZE The \c SYMBOL_CACHE_SIZE determines the size of the internal cache use to determine which symbols to keep in memory and which to flush to disk. When the cache is full, less often used symbols will be written to disk. For small to medium size projects (<1000 input files) the default value is probably good enough. For larger projects a too small cache size can cause doxygen to be busy swapping symbols to and from disk most of the time causing a significant performance penalty. If the system has enough physical memory increasing the cache will improve the performance by keeping more symbols in memory. Note that the value works on a logarithmic scale so increasing the size by one will roughly double the memory usage. The cache size is given by this formula: \f$2^{(16+\mbox{SYMBOL\_CACHE\_SIZE})}\f$. The valid range is 0..9, the default is 0, corresponding to a cache size of \f$2^{16} = 65536\f$ symbols.
\section config_build Build related options \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_extract_local_classes

\c SORT_BY_SCOPE_NAME
\addindex SORT_BY_SCOPE_NAME If the \c SORT_BY_SCOPE_NAME tag is set to \c YES, the class list will be sorted by fully-qualified names, including namespaces. If set to NO (the default), the class list will be sorted only by class name, not including the namespace part. @note This option is not very useful if \c HIDE_SCOPE_NAMES is set to \c YES. @note This option applies only to the class list, not to the alphabetical list. \anchor cfg_sort_members_constructors_first
\c SORT_MEMBERS_CTORS_1ST
\addindex SORT_MEMBERS_CTORS_1ST If the \c SORT_MEMBERS_CTORS_1ST tag is set to \c YES then doxygen will sort the (brief and detailed) documentation of class members so that constructors and destructors are listed first. If set to NO (the default) the constructors will appear in the respective orders defined by \c SORT_MEMBER_DOCS and \c SORT_BRIEF_DOCS. @note If \c SORT_BRIEF_DOCS is set to \c NO this option is ignored for sorting brief member documentation. @note If \c SORT_MEMBER_DOCS is set to \c NO this option is ignored for sorting detailed member documentation. \anchor cfg_generate_deprecatedlist
\c GENERATE_DEPRECATEDLIST
\addindex GENERATE_DEPRECATEDLIST The GENERATE_DEPRECATEDLIST tag can be used to enable (YES) or disable (NO) the deprecated list. This list is created by putting \ref cmddeprecated "\\deprecated" commands in the documentation. \anchor cfg_strict_proto_matching
\c STRICT_PROTO_MATCHING
\addindex STRICT_PROTO_MATCHING If the \c STRICT_PROTO_MATCHING option is enabled and doxygen fails to do proper type resolution of all parameters of a function it will reject a match between the prototype and the implementation of a member function even if there is only one candidate or it is obvious which candidate to choose by doing a simple string match. By disabling \c STRICT_PROTO_MATCHING doxygen will still accept a match between prototype and implementation in such cases. \anchor cfg_generate_todolist

\c FILE_VERSION_FILTER
\addindex FILE_VERSION_FILTER The \c FILE_VERSION_FILTER tag can be used to specify a program or script that doxygen should invoke to get the current version for each file (typically from the version control system). Doxygen will invoke the program by executing (via popen()) the command command input-file, where \c command is the value of the \c FILE_VERSION_FILTER tag, and \c input-file is the name of an input file provided by doxygen. Whatever the program writes to standard output is used as the file version. Example of using a shell script as a filter for Unix: \verbatim FILE_VERSION_FILTER = "/bin/sh versionfilter.sh" \endverbatim Example shell script for CVS: \verbatim #!/bin/sh cvs status $1 | sed -n 's/^[ \]*Working revision:[ \t]*\([0-9][0-9\.]*\).*/\1/p' \endverbatim Example shell script for Subversion: \verbatim #!/bin/sh svn stat -v $1 | sed -n 's/^[ A-Z?\*|!]\{1,15\}/r/;s/ \{1,15\}/\/r/;s/ .*//p' \endverbatim Example filter for ClearCase: \verbatim FILE_VERSION_INFO = "cleartool desc -fmt \%Vn" \endverbatim \anchor cfg_layout_file
\c LAYOUT_FILE
The \c LAYOUT_FILE tag can be used to specify a layout file which will be parsed by doxygen.

\c WARN_IF_DOC_ERROR
\addindex WARN_IF_DOC_ERROR If \c WARN_IF_DOC_ERROR is set to \c YES, doxygen will generate warnings for potential errors in the documentation, such as not documenting some parameters in a documented function, or documenting parameters that don't exist or using markup commands wrongly. \anchor cfg_warn_no_paramdoc
\c WARN_NO_PARAMDOC
\addindex WARN_NO_PARAMDOC This \c WARN_NO_PARAMDOC option can be enabled to get warnings for functions that are documented, but have no documentation for their parameters or return value. If set to \c NO (the default) doxygen will only warn about wrong or incomplete parameter documentation, but not about the absence of documentation. \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

\section 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: If this tag is empty the current directory is searched. \anchor cfg_input_encoding
\c INPUT_ENCODING
\addindex INPUT_ENCODING This tag can be used to specify the character encoding of the source files that doxygen parses. Internally doxygen uses the UTF-8 encoding, which is also the default input encoding. Doxygen uses libiconv (or the iconv built into libc) for the transcoding. See the libiconv documentation for the list of possible encodings. \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 the following patterns are tested: *.c *.cc *.cxx *.cpp *.c++ *.d *.java *.ii *.ixx *.ipp *.i++ *.inl *.h *.hh *.hxx *.hpp *.h++ *.idl *.odl *.cs *.php *.php3 *.inc *.m *.mm *.dox *.py *.f90 *.f *.vhd *.vhdl \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. Note that relative paths are relative to directory from which doxygen is run. \anchor cfg_exclude_symlinks
\c EXCLUDE_SYMLINKS
\addindex EXCLUDE_SYMLINKS The \c EXCLUDE_SYMLINKS tag can be used select whether or not files or directories that are symbolic links (a Unix file system feature) are excluded from the input. \anchor cfg_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_exclude_symbols
\c EXCLUDE_SYMBOLS
The \c EXCLUDE_SYMBOLS tag can be used to specify one or more symbol names (namespaces, classes, functions, etc.) that should be excluded from the output. The symbol name can be a fully qualified name, a word, or if the wildcard * is used, a substring. Examples: ANamespace, AClass, AClass::ANamespace, ANamespace::*Test Note that the wildcards are matched against the file with absolute path, so to exclude all test directories use the pattern */test/* \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_recursive
\c EXAMPLE_RECURSIVE
\addindex EXAMPLE_RECURSIVE If the \c EXAMPLE_RECURSIVE tag is set to \c YES then subdirectories will be searched for input files to be used with the \\include or \\dontinclude commands irrespective of the value of the \c RECURSIVE tag. Possible values are \c YES and \c NO. If left blank \c NO is used. \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. \anchor cfg_filter_patterns
\c FILTER_PATTERNS
\addindex FILTER_PATTERNS The \c FILTER_PATTERNS tag can be used to specify filters on a per file pattern basis. Doxygen will compare the file name with each pattern and apply the filter if there is a match. The filters are a list of the form: pattern=filter (like *.cpp=my_cpp_filter). See \c INPUT_FILTER for further info on how filters are used. If \c FILTER_PATTERNS is empty or if non of the patterns match the file name, \c INPUT_FILTER is applied. \anchor cfg_filter_source_files
\c FILTER_SOURCE_FILES
\addindex FILTER_SOURCE_FILES If the \c FILTER_SOURCE_FILES tag is set to \c YES, the input filter (if set using \ref cfg_input_filter "INPUT_FILTER" ) will also be used to filter the input files that are used for producing the source files to browse (i.e. when SOURCE_BROWSER is set to YES). \anchor cfg_filter_source_patterns
\c FILTER_SOURCE_PATTERNS
\addindex FILTER_SOURCE_PATTERNS The \c FILTER_SOURCE_PATTERNS tag can be used to specify source filters per file pattern. A pattern will override the setting for \c FILTER_PATTERN (if any) and it is also possible to disable source filtering for a specific pattern using *.ext= (so without naming a filter). This option only has effect when \c FILTER_SOURCE_FILES is enabled.
\section sourcebrowser_index Source browsing related options \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.

\c REFERENCES_LINK_SOURCE
\addindex REFERENCES_LINK_SOURCE If the \c REFERENCES_LINK_SOURCE tag is set to \c YES (the default) and SOURCE_BROWSER tag is set to \c YES, then the hyperlinks from functions in REFERENCES_RELATION and REFERENCED_BY_RELATION lists will link to the source code. Otherwise they will link to the documentation. \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_use_htags
\c USE_HTAGS
\addindex USE_HTAGS If the \c USE_HTAGS tag is set to \c YES then the references to source code will point to the HTML generated by the htags(1) tool instead of doxygen built-in source browser. The htags tool is part of GNU's global source tagging system (see http://www.gnu.org/software/global/global.html). To use it do the following: -# Install the latest version of global (i.e. 4.8.6 or better) -# Enable SOURCE_BROWSER and USE_HTAGS in the config file -# Make sure the INPUT points to the root of the source tree -# Run doxygen as normal Doxygen will invoke htags (and that will in turn invoke gtags), so these tools must be available from the command line (i.e. in the search path). The result: instead of the source browser generated by doxygen, the links to source code will now point to the output of htags.
\section 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.
\c COLS_IN_ALPHA_INDEX
\anchor cfg_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.

\c HTML_FILE_EXTENSION
\addindex HTML_FILE_EXTENSION The \c HTML_FILE_EXTENSION tag can be used to specify the file extension for each generated HTML page (for example: .htm, .php, .asp). If it is left blank doxygen will generate files with .html extension. \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. If the tag is left blank doxygen will generate a standard header. To get valid HTML the header file that includes any scripts and style sheets that doxygen needs, it is highly recommended to start with a default header using \verbatim doxygen -w html new_header.html new_footer.html new_stylesheet.css YourConfigFile \endverbatim and then modify the file \c new_header.html. The following markers have a special meaning inside the header and footer:
\$title

will be replaced with current the date and time.
\$date
will be replaced with the current date.
\$year
will be replaces with the current year.
\$doxygenversion

\$search
will be replaced with a links to the javascript and style sheets needed for the search engine (or an empty string when \ref cfg_searchengine "SEARCHENGINE" is disabled).
\$mathjax
will be replaced with a links to the javascript and style sheets needed for the MathJax feature (or an empty string when \ref cfg_use_mathjax "USE_MATHJAX" is disabled).
\$relpath\$
If \c CREATE_SUBDIRS is enabled, the command \$relpath\$ can be used to produce a relative path to the root of the HTML output directory, e.g. use \$relpath\$doxygen.css, to refer to the standard style sheet.
To cope with differences in the layout of the header and footer that depend on configuration settings, the header can also contain special blocks that will be copied to the output or skipped depending on the configuration. Such blocks have the following form: \verbatim Some context copied when condition BLOCKNAME holds Some context copied when condition BLOCKNAME does not hold \endverbatim The following block names are supported:
DISABLE_INDEX
Content within this block is copied to the output when the \ref cfg_disable_index "DISABLE_INDEX" option is enabled (so when the index is disabled).
GENERATE_TREEVIEW
Content within this block is copied to the output when the \ref cfg_generate_treeview "GENERATE_TREEVIEW" option is enabled.
SEARCHENGINE
Content within this block is copied to the output when the \ref cfg_searchengine "SEARCHENGINE" option is enabled.
PROJECT_NAME
Content within the block is copied to the output when the \ref cfg_project_name "PROJECT_NAME" option is not empty.

PROJECT_LOGO
Content within the block is copied to the output when the \ref cfg_project_logo "PROJECT_LOGO" option is not empty.
TITLEAREA
Content within this block is copied to the output when a title is visible at the top of each page. This is the case if either \ref cfg_project_name "PROJECT_NAME", \ref cfg_project_brief "PROJECT_BRIEF", \ref cfg_project_logo "PROJECT_LOGO" is filled in or if both \ref cfg_disable_index "DISABLE_INDEX" and \ref cfg_searchengine "SEARCHENGINE" are enabled.

\c HTML_EXTRA_FILES
\addindex HTML_EXTRA_FILES The \c HTML_EXTRA_FILES tag can be used to specify one or more extra images or other source files which should be copied to the HTML output directory. Note that these files will be copied to the base HTML output directory. Use the $relpath$ marker in the \c HTML_HEADER and/or \c HTML_FOOTER files to load these files. In the \c HTML_STYLESHEET file, use the file name only. Also note that the files will be copied as-is; there are no commands or markers available. \anchor cfg_html_colorstyle_hue
\c HTML_COLORSTYLE_HUE
\addindex HTML_COLOR_STYLE_HUE The \c HTML_COLORSTYLE_HUE tag controls the color of the HTML output. Doxygen will adjust the colors in the stylesheet and background images according to this color. Hue is specified as an angle on a colorwheel, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hue for more information. For instance the value 0 represents red, 60 is yellow, 120 is green, 180 is cyan, 240 is blue, 300 purple, and 360 is red again. The allowed range is 0 to 359. \anchor cfg_html_colorstyle_sat

The \c HTML_COLORSTYLE_GAMMA tag controls the gamma correction applied to the luminance component of the colors in the HTML output. Values below 100 gradually make the output lighter, whereas values above 100 make the output darker. The value divided by 100 is the actual gamma applied, so 80 represents a gamma of 0.8, The value 220 represents a gamma of 2.2, and 100 does not change the gamma. \anchor cfg_html_timestamp
\c HTML_TIMESTAMP
\addindex HTML_TIMESTAMP If the \c HTML_TIMESTAMP tag is set to \c YES then the footer of each generated HTML page will contain the date and time when the page was generated. Setting this to NO can help when comparing the output of multiple runs. \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_html_dynamic_sections
\c HTML_DYNAMIC_SECTIONS
\addindex HTML_DYNAMIC_SECTIONS If the \c HTML_DYNAMIC_SECTIONS tag is set to \c YES then the generated HTML documentation will contain sections that can be hidden and shown after the page has loaded. For this to work a browser that supports JavaScript and DHTML is required (for instance Mozilla 1.0+, Firefox Netscape 6.0+, Internet explorer 5.0+, Konqueror, or Safari). \anchor cfg_generate_docset
\c GENERATE_DOCSET
\addindex GENERATE_DOCSET If the \c GENERATE_DOCSET tag is set to \c YES, additional index files will be generated that can be used as input for Apple's Xcode 3 integrated development environment, introduced with OSX 10.5 (Leopard). To create a documentation set, doxygen will generate a Makefile in the HTML output directory. Running \c make will produce the docset in that directory and running make install will install the docset in ~/Library/Developer/Shared/Documentation/DocSets so that Xcode will find it at startup. See this article for more information. \anchor cfg_docset_feedname
\c DOCSET_FEEDNAME
\addindex DOCSET_FEEDNAME When \c GENERATE_DOCSET tag is set to \c YES, this tag determines the name of the feed. A documentation feed provides an umbrella under which multiple documentation sets from a single provider (such as a company or product suite) can be grouped. \anchor cfg_docset_bundle_id
\c DOCSET_BUNDLE_ID
When \c GENERATE_DOCSET tag is set to \c YES, this tag specifies a string that should uniquely identify the documentation set bundle. This should be a reverse domain-name style string, e.g. com.mycompany.MyDocSet. Doxygen will append .docset to the name. \anchor cfg_docset_publisher_id
\c DOCSET_PUBLISHER_ID
When GENERATE_PUBLISHER_ID tag specifies a string that should uniquely identify the documentation publisher. This should be a reverse domain-name style string, e.g. com.mycompany.MyDocSet.documentation. \anchor cfg_docset_publisher_name
\c DOCSET_PUBLISHER_NAME
The GENERATE_PUBLISHER_NAME tag identifies the documentation publisher. \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's HTML Help Workshop on Windows. The HTML Help Workshop contains a compiler that can convert all HTML output generated by doxygen into a single compiled HTML file (.chm). Compiled 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. The HTML workshop also contains a viewer for compressed HTML files. \anchor cfg_chm_file
\c CHM_FILE
\addindex CHM_FILE If the \c GENERATE_HTMLHELP tag is set to \c YES, the \c CHM_FILE tag can be used to specify the file name of the resulting .chm file. You can add a path in front of the file if the result should not be written to the html output directory. \anchor cfg_hhc_location
\c HHC_LOCATION
\addindex HHC_LOCATION If the \c GENERATE_HTMLHELP tag is set to \c YES, the \c HHC_LOCATION tag can be used to specify the location (absolute path including file name) of the HTML help compiler (hhc.exe). If non-empty doxygen will try to run the HTML help compiler on the generated index.hhp. \anchor cfg_generate_chi
\c GENERATE_CHI
\addindex GENERATE_CHI If the \c GENERATE_HTMLHELP tag is set to \c YES, the \c GENERATE_CHI flag controls if a separate .chi index file is generated (YES) or that it should be included in the master .chm file (NO). \anchor cfg_chm_index_encoding
\c CHM_INDEX_ENCODING
\addindex CHM_INDEX_ENCODING If the \c GENERATE_HTMLHELP tag is set to \c YES, the \c CHM_INDEX_ENCODING is used to encode HtmlHelp index (hhk), content (hhc) and project file content. \anchor cfg_binary_toc
\c BINARY_TOC
\addindex BINARY_TOC If the \c GENERATE_HTMLHELP tag is set to \c YES, the \c BINARY_TOC flag controls whether a binary table of contents is generated (YES) or a normal table of contents (NO) in the .chm file. \anchor cfg_toc_expand
\c TOC_EXPAND
\addindex TOC_EXPAND The \c TOC_EXPAND flag can be set to YES to add extra items for group members to the table of contents of the HTML help documentation and to the tree view. \anchor cfg_generate_qhp
\c GENERATE_QHP
\addindex GENERATE_QHP If the GENERATE_QHP tag is set to YES and both QHP_NAMESPACE and QHP_VIRTUAL_FOLDER are set, an additional index file will be generated that can be used as input for Qt's qhelpgenerator to generate a Qt Compressed Help (.qch) of the generated HTML documentation. \anchor cfg_qch_file
\c QCH_FILE
\addindex QCH_FILE If the QHG_LOCATION tag is specified, the QCH_FILE tag can be used to specify the file name of the resulting .qch file. The path specified is relative to the HTML output folder. \anchor cfg_qhp_namespace
\c QHP_NAMESPACE
\addindex QHP_NAMESPACE The QHP_NAMESPACE tag specifies the namespace to use when generating Qt Help Project output. For more information please see Qt Help Project / Namespace. \anchor cfg_qhp_virtual_folder
\c QHP_VIRTUAL_FOLDER
\addindex QHP_VIRTUAL_FOLDER The QHP_VIRTUAL_FOLDER tag specifies the namespace to use when generating Qt Help Project output. For more information please see Qt Help Project / Virtual Folders. \anchor cfg_qhp_cust_filter_name
\c QHP_CUST_FILTER_NAME

\c QHG_LOCATION
\addindex QHG_LOCATION If the GENERATE_QHP tag is set to YES, the QHG_LOCATION tag can be used to specify the location of Qt's qhelpgenerator. If non-empty doxygen will try to run qhelpgenerator on the generated .qhp file. \anchor cfg_generate_eclipsehelp
\c GENERATE_ECLIPSEHELP
\addindex GENERATE_ECLIPSEHELP If the \c GENERATE_ECLIPSEHELP tag is set to \c YES, additional index files will be generated, which together with the HTML files, form an Eclipse help plugin. To install this plugin and make it available under the help contents menu in Eclipse, the contents of the directory containing the HTML and XML files needs to be copied into the plugins directory of eclipse. The name of the directory within the plugins directory should be the same as the \ref cfg_eclipse_doc_id "ECLIPSE_DOC_ID" value. After copying Eclipse needs to be restarted before the help appears. \anchor cfg_eclipse_doc_id
\c ECLIPSE_DOC_ID
\addindex ECLIPSE_DOC_ID A unique identifier for the eclipse help plugin. When installing the plugin the directory name containing the HTML and XML files should also have this name. Each documentation set should have its own identifier. \anchor cfg_searchengine
\c SEARCHENGINE
\addindex SEARCHENGINE When the \c SEARCHENGINE tag is enabled doxygen will generate a search box for the HTML output. The underlying search engine uses javascript and DHTML and should work on any modern browser. Note that when using HTML help (\ref cfg_generate_htmlhelp "GENERATE_HTMLHELP"), Qt help (\ref cfg_generate_qhp "GENERATE_QHP"), or docsets (\ref cfg_generate_docset "GENERATE_DOCSET") there is already a search function so this one should typically be disabled. For large projects the javascript based search engine can be slow, then enabling \ref cfg_server_based_search "SERVER_BASED_SEARCH" may provide a better solution. It is possible to search using the keyboard; to jump to the search box use access key + S (what the access key is depends on the OS and browser, but it is typically CTRL, ALT/option, or both). Inside the search box use the cursor down key to jump into the search results window, the results can be navigated using the cursor keys. Press Enter to select an item or escape to cancel the search. The filter options can be selected when the cursor is inside the search box by pressing Shift+cursor down. Also here use the cursor keys to select a filter and enter or escape to activate or cancel the filter option. \anchor cfg_server_based_search
\c SERVER_BASED_SEARCH
\addindex SERVER_BASED_SEARCH When the SERVER_BASED_SEARCH tag is enabled the search engine will be implemented using a PHP enabled web server instead of at the web client using Javascript. Doxygen will generate the search PHP script and index file to put on the web server. The advantage of the server based approach is that it scales better to large projects and also allows full text search. The disadvantages are that it is more difficult to setup and does not have live searching capabilities. \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_enum_values_per_line
\c ENUM_VALUES_PER_LINE
\addindex ENUM_VALUES_PER_LINE This tag can be used to set the number of enum values (range [0,1..20]) that doxygen will group on one line in the generated HTML documentation. Note that a value of 0 will completely suppress the enum values from appearing in the overview section. \anchor cfg_generate_treeview
\c GENERATE_TREEVIEW
\addindex GENERATE_TREEVIEW The GENERATE_TREEVIEW tag is used to specify whether a tree-like index structure should be generated to display hierarchical information. If the tag value is set to YES, a side panel will be generated containing a tree-like index structure (just like the one that is generated for HTML Help). For this to work a browser that supports JavaScript, DHTML, CSS and frames is required (i.e. any modern browser). Windows users are probably better off using the HTML help feature. Via custom stylesheets (see \ref cfg_html_stylesheet "HTML_STYLESHEET") one can further \ref doxygen_finetune "fine-tune" the look of the index. As an example, the default style sheet generated by doxygen has an example that shows how to put an image at the root of the tree instead of the \ref cfg_project_name "project name". \anchor cfg_use_inline_trees
\c USE_INLINE_TREES
\addindex USE_INLINE_TREES By enabling USE_INLINE_TREES, doxygen will generate the Groups, Directories, and Class Hierarchy pages using a tree view instead of an ordered list. \anchor cfg_treeview_width
\c TREEVIEW_WIDTH
\addindex TREEVIEW_WIDTH If the treeview is enabled (see \c GENERATE_TREEVIEW) then this tag can be used to set the initial width (in pixels) of the frame in which the tree is shown. \anchor cfg_ext_links_in_window
\c EXT_LINKS_IN_WINDOW
\addindex EXT_LINKS_IN_WINDOW When the \c EXT_LINKS_IN_WINDOW option is set to \c YES doxygen will open links to external symbols imported via tag files in a separate window. \anchor cfg_formula_fontsize
\c FORMULA_FONTSIZE
\addindex FORMULA_FONTSIZE Use this tag to change the font size of Latex formulas included as images in the HTML documentation. The default is 10. when you change the font size after a successful doxygen run you need to manually remove any form_*.png images from the HTML output directory to force them to be regenerated. \anchor cfg_formula_transparent
\c FORMULA_TRANSPARENT
\addindex FORMULA_TRANSPARENT Use the \c FORMULA_TRANPARENT tag to determine whether or not the images generated for formulas are transparent PNGs. Transparent PNGs are not supported properly for IE 6.0, but are supported on all modern browsers. Note that when changing this option you need to delete any form_*.png files in the HTML output before the changes have effect. \anchor cfg_use_mathjax
\c USE_MATHJAX
\addindex USE_MATHJAX Enable the \c USE_MATHJAX option to render LaTeX formulas using MathJax (see http://www.mathjax.org) which uses client side Javascript for the rendering instead of using prerendered bitmaps. Use this if you do not have LaTeX installed or if you want to formulas look prettier in the HTML output. When enabled you also need to install MathJax separately and configure the path to it using the \ref cfg_mathjax_relpath "MATHJAX_RELPATH" option. \anchor cfg_mathjax_relpath
\c MATHJAX_RELPATH
\addindex MATHJAX_RELPATH When MathJax is enabled you need to specify the location relative to the HTML output directory using the \c MATHJAX_RELPATH option. The destination directory should contain the MathJax.js script. For instance, if the mathjax directory is located at the same level as the HTML output directory, then \c MATHJAX_RELPATH should be ../mathjax. The default value points to the http://www.mathjax.org site, so you can quickly see the result without installing MathJax, but it is strongly recommended to install a local copy of MathJax before deployment.

\addindex LATEX_HEADER The \c LATEX_HEADER tag can be used to specify a personal \f$\mbox{\LaTeX}\f$ header for the generated \f$\mbox{\LaTeX}\f$ 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_latex_footer
\c LATEX_FOOTER
\addindex LATEX_FOOTER The LATEX_FOOTER tag can be used to specify a personal LaTeX footer for the generated latex document. The footer should contain everything after the last chapter.

\c PERLMOD_PRETTY
\addindex PERLMOD_PRETTY If the \c PERLMOD_PRETTY tag is set to \c YES the Perl module output will be nicely formatted so it can be parsed by a human reader. This is useful if you want to understand what is going on. On the other hand, if this tag is set to \c NO the size of the Perl module output will be much smaller and Perl will parse it just the same. \anchor cfg_perlmod_makevar_prefix
\c PERLMOD_MAKEVAR_PREFIX
\addindex PERLMOD_MAKEVAR_PREFIX The names of the make variables in the generated doxyrules.make file are prefixed with the string contained in \c PERLMOD_MAKEVAR_PREFIX. This is useful so different doxyrules.make files included by the same Makefile don't overwrite each other's variables.
\section config_prepro Preprocessor related options \anchor cfg_enable_preprocessing

\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_DEFINED tags. \anchor cfg_search_includes

\c INCLUDE_FILE_PATTERNS
\addindex INCLUDE_FILE_PATTERNS You can use the \c INCLUDE_FILE_PATTERNS tag to specify one or more wildcard patterns (like *.h and *.hpp) to filter out the header-files in the directories. If left blank, the patterns specified with \c FILE_PATTERNS will be used. \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. To prevent a macro definition from being undefined via \#undef or recursively expanded use the := operator instead of the = operator. \anchor cfg_expand_as_defined
\c EXPAND_AS_DEFINED
\addindex EXPAND_AS_DEFINED If the \c MACRO_EXPANSION and \c EXPAND_ONLY_PREDEF tags are set to \c YES then this tag can be used to specify a list of macro names that should be expanded.

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 must have a unique name (where the name does \e not include the path) 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 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 NO turns the diagrams off. Note that this option also works with HAVE_DOT disabled, but it is recommended to install and use dot, since it yields more powerful graphs. \anchor cfg_mscgen_path
\c MSCGEN_PATH
\addindex MSCGEN_PATH You can define message sequence charts within doxygen comments using the \ref cmdmsc "\\msc" command. Doxygen will then run the mscgen tool) to produce the chart and insert it in the documentation. The MSCGEN_PATH tag allows you to specify the directory where the mscgen tool resides. If left empty the tool is assumed to be found in the default search path. \anchor cfg_have_dot
\c HAVE_DOT
\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_dot_num_threads
\c DOT_NUM_THREADS
\addindex DOT_NUM_THREADS The \c DOT_NUM_THREADS specifies the number of dot invocations doxygen is allowed to run in parallel. When set to 0 (the default) doxygen will base this on the number of processors available in the system. You can set it explicitly to a value larger than 0 to get control over the balance between CPU load and processing speed. \anchor cfg_dot_fontname
\c DOT_FONTNAME
\addindex DOT_FONTNAME By default doxygen will use the Helvetica font for all dot files that doxygen generates. When you want a differently looking font you can specify the font name using \c DOT_FONTNAME. You need to make sure dot is able to find the font, which can be done by putting it in a standard location or by setting the \c DOTFONTPATH environment variable or by setting \c DOT_FONTPATH to the directory containing the font. \anchor cfg_dot_fontsize
\c DOT_FONTSIZE
The \c DOT_FONTSIZE tag can be used to set the size of the font of dot graphs. The default size is 10pt. \anchor cfg_dot_fontpath
\c DOT_FONTPATH
\addindex DOT_FONTPATH By default doxygen will tell dot to use the output directory to look for the \c FreeSans.ttf font (which doxygen will put there itself). If you specify a different font using \c DOT_FONTNAME you can set the path where dot can find it using this tag. \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_group_graphs
\c GROUP_GRAPHS
\addindex GROUP_GRAPHS If the GROUP_GRAPHS and HAVE_DOT tags are set to YES then doxygen will generate a graph for groups, showing the direct groups dependencies. \anchor cfg_uml_look
\c UML_LOOK
\addindex UML_LOOK If the UML_LOOK tag is set to YES doxygen will generate inheritance and collaboration diagrams in a style similar to the OMG's Unified Modeling Language. \anchor cfg_template_relations
\c TEMPLATE_RELATIONS
\addindex TEMPLATE_RELATIONS If the \c TEMPLATE_RELATIONS and \c HAVE_DOT tags are set to \c YES then doxygen will show the relations between templates and their instances. \anchor cfg_hide_undoc_relations
\c HIDE_UNDOC_RELATIONS
\addindex HIDE_UNDOC_RELATIONS If set to YES, the inheritance and collaboration graphs will hide inheritance and usage relations if the target is undocumented or is not a class. \anchor cfg_include_graph
\c INCLUDE_GRAPH
\addindex INCLUDE_GRAPH If the \c ENABLE_PREPROCESSING, \c SEARCH_INCLUDES, \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 SEARCH_INCLUDES, \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_call_graph
\c CALL_GRAPH
\addindex CALL_GRAPH If the \c CALL_GRAPH and \c HAVE_DOT tags are set to \c YES then doxygen will generate a call dependency graph for every global function or class method. Note that enabling this option will significantly increase the time of a run. So in most cases it will be better to enable call graphs for selected functions only using the \\callgraph command. \anchor cfg_caller_graph
\c CALLER_GRAPH
\addindex CALLER_GRAPH If the \c CALLER_GRAPH and \c HAVE_DOT tags are set to \c YES then doxygen will generate a caller dependency graph for every global function or class method. Note that enabling this option will significantly increase the time of a run. So in most cases it will be better to enable caller graphs for selected functions only using the \\callergraph command. \anchor cfg_graphical_hierarchy
\c GRAPHICAL_HIERARCHY
\addindex GRAPHICAL_HIERARCHY 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_directory_graph
\c DIRECTORY_GRAPH
\addindex DIRECTORY_GRAPH If the \c DIRECTORY_GRAPH, \c SHOW_DIRECTORIES and \c HAVE_DOT options are set to \c YES then doxygen will show the dependencies a directory has on other directories in a graphical way. The dependency relations are determined by the \#include relations between the files in the directories. \anchor cfg_dot_graph_max_nodes
\c DOT_GRAPH_MAX_NODES
\addindex DOT_GRAPH_MAX_NODES The \c DOT_GRAPH_MAX_NODES tag can be used to set the maximum number of nodes that will be shown in the graph. If the number of nodes in a graph becomes larger than this value, doxygen will truncate the graph, which is visualized by representing a node as a red box. Note that doxygen if the number of direct children of the root node in a graph is already larger than \c DOT_GRAPH_MAX_NODES then the graph will not be shown at all. Also note that the size of a graph can be further restricted by \c MAX_DOT_GRAPH_DEPTH. \anchor cfg_max_dot_graph_depth
\c MAX_DOT_GRAPH_DEPTH
\addindex MAX_DOT_GRAPH_DEPTH The \c MAX_DOT_GRAPH_DEPTH tag can be used to set the maximum depth of the graphs generated by dot. A depth value of 3 means that only nodes reachable from the root by following a path via at most 3 edges will be shown. Nodes that lay further from the root node will be omitted. Note that setting this option to 1 or 2 may greatly reduce the computation time needed for large code bases. Also note that the size of a graph can be further restricted by \c DOT_GRAPH_MAX_NODES. Using a depth of 0 means no depth restriction (the default). \anchor cfg_dot_image_format
\c DOT_IMAGE_FORMAT
\addindex DOT_IMAGE_FORMAT The \c DOT_IMAGE_FORMAT tag can be used to set the image format of the images generated by dot. Possible values are svg, png, jpg, or gif. If left blank png will be used. \note If you choose \c svg you need to set HTML_FILE_EXTENSION to xhtml in order to make the SVG files visible in IE 9+ (other browsers do not have this requirement). \anchor cfg_interactive_svg
\c INTERACTIVE_SVG If DOT_IMAGE_FORMAT is set to svg, then this option can be set to YES to enable generation of interactive SVG images that allow zooming and panning. Note that this requires a modern browser other than Internet Explorer. Tested and working are Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Opera. \note For IE 9+ you need to set \c HTML_FILE_EXTENSION to xhtml in order to make the SVG files visible. Older versions of IE do not have SVG support. \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_dotfile_dirs
\c DOTFILE_DIRS
\addindex DOTFILE_DIRS This tag can be used to specify one or more directories that contain dot files that are included in the documentation (see the \ref cmddotfile "\\dotfile" command). \anchor cfg_mscfile_dirs
\c MSCFILE_DIRS
\addindex MSCFILE_DIRS This tag can be used to specify one or more directories that contain msc files that are included in the documentation (see the \ref cmdmscfile "\\mscfile" command). \anchor cfg_dot_transparent
\c DOT_TRANSPARENT
\addindex DOT_TRANSPARENT Set the \c DOT_TRANSPARENT tag to \c YES to generate images with a transparent background. This is disabled by default, because dot on Windows does not seem to support this out of the box. Warning: Depending on the platform used, enabling this option may lead to badly anti-aliased labels on the edges of a graph (i.e. they become hard to read). \anchor cfg_dot_multi_targets
\c DOT_MULTI_TARGETS
\addindex DOT_MULTI_TARGET Set the \c DOT_MULTI_TARGETS tag to \c YES allow dot to generate multiple output files in one run (i.e. multiple -o and -T options on the command line). This makes dot run faster, but since only newer versions of dot (>1.8.10) support this, this feature is disabled by default. \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. \anchor cfg_dot_cleanup
\c DOT_CLEANUP
\addindex DOT_CLEANUP If the \c DOT_CLEANUP tag is set to \c YES (the default) doxygen will remove the intermediate dot files that are used to generate the various graphs.

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/local/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/bin/perl SEARCHENGINE = YES \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 STRIP_FROM_PATH = $(QTDIR)/ PREDEFINED = USE_TEMPLATECLASS Q_EXPORT= \ QArrayT:=QArray \ QListT:=QList \ QDictT:=QDict \ QQueueT:=QQueue \ QVectorT:=QVector \ QPtrDictT:=QPtrDict \ QIntDictT:=QIntDict \ QStackT:=QStack \ QDictIteratorT:=QDictIterator \ QListIteratorT:=QListIterator \ QCacheT:=QCache \ QCacheIteratorT:=QCacheIterator \ QIntCacheT:=QIntCache \ QIntCacheIteratorT:=QIntCacheIterator \ QIntDictIteratorT:=QIntDictIterator \ QPtrDictIteratorT:=QPtrDictIterator INPUT = $(QTDIR)/doc \ $(QTDIR)/src/widgets \ $(QTDIR)/src/kernel \ $(QTDIR)/src/dialogs \ $(QTDIR)/src/tools FILE_PATTERNS = *.cpp *.h q*.doc INCLUDE_PATH = $(QTDIR)/include RECURSIVE = YES \endverbatim For the Qt-2.1 sources I recommend 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. */
