The \c duiviewer reads an XML format declarative user interface definition + (\c .qml) file + and displays the user interface it describes. + + \section1 Options + + When run with the \c -help option, duiviewer shows available options. + + \section1 Dummy Data + + One use of duiviewer 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> + <properties> + <Property name="time" value="12345"/> + </properties> + </Object> + \endcode + Any QML can be used in the dummy data files. You could even animate the + fictional data! +*/ |
