+ \title Qt Declarative UI Viewer (qmlviewer)
+ \ingroup qttools
+ \keyword qmlviewer
+
+ This page documents the \e{Declarative UI Viewer} for the Qt GUI
+ toolkit. The \c qmlviewer reads a declarative user interface definition
+ (\c .qml) file and displays the user interface it describes.
+
+ qmlviewer is a development tool. It is not intended to be
+ installed in a production environment.
+
+ \section1 Options
+
+ When run with the \c -help option, qmlviewer shows available options.
+
+ \section1 Dummy Data
+
+ One use of qmlviewer is to allow QML files to be viewed stand-alone,
+ rather than being loaded from within a Qt program. Qt applications will
+ usually bind objects and properties into the execution context before
+ running the QML. To stand-in for such bindings, you can provide dummy
+ data: create a directory called "dummydata" in the same directory as
+ the target QML file and create files there with the "qml" extension.
+ All such files will be loaded as QML objects and bound to the root
+ context as a property with the name of the file (without ".qml").
+
+ For example, if the Qt application has a "clock.time" property
+ that is a qreal from 0 to 86400 representing the number of seconds since
+ midnight, dummy data for this could be provided by \c dummydata/clock.qml:
+ \code
+ Object { property real time: 12345 }
+ \endcode
+ Any QML can be used in the dummy data files. You could even animate the
+ fictional data!
