native support for resources. This might change in a future Qt
release.
+ \section1 Compression
+
+ Resources are compressed by default (in the \c ZIP format). It is
+ possible to turn off compression. This can be useful if your
+ resources already contain a compressed format, such as \c .png
+ files. You do this by giving the \c {-no-compress} command line
+ argument.
+
+ \code
+ rcc -no-compress myresources.qrc
+ \endcode
+
+ \c rcc also gives you some control over the compression. You can
+ specify the compression level and the threshold level to consider
+ while compressing files, for example:
+
+ \code
+ rcc -compress 2 -threshold 3 myresources.qrc
+ \endcode
