It is not intended to be a comprehensive + guide to Qt's features. + + \section1 Fundamental Technologies in Qt + + Qt is built upon a set of core technologies, provided by the \l QtCore + and \l QtGui modules. These include the following: + + \list + \o \l{The Tulip Container Classes}, a set of template container classes. + \o \l{The Arthur Paint System}, the Qt 4 painting framework. + \o \l{The Interview Framework}, a model/view architecture for item views + and the \l{QtSQL Module}, which also uses this architecture. + \o \l{The Scribe Classes}, a framework for creating text documents, + performing low-level text layout and writing OpenDocument files. + \o A collection of \l{Qt Widget Gallery}{common desktop widgets}, styled + to fit in on each supported platform. + \o \l{The Qt 4 Main Window Classes}, a main window, toolbar, menu, and + docking architecture. + \o The \l{Graphics View} framework provides a canvas for producing + interactive graphics. + \o The \l{QtNetwork Module} provides support for TCP, UDP and local + sockets that are integrated with Qt's event model, including support + for Secure Socket Layer (SSL) communications, + \l{QNetworkProxy}{network proxy} servers and + \l{Bearer Management}{network bearer management}. + \o Enhanced \l{qt4-threads.html}{thread support} allows + \l{Signals & Slots}{signal-slot} connections across threads and + per-thread event loops. + Additionally, \l{Thread Support in Qt}{a framework for concurrent programming} + using Qt paradigms makes common threading tasks easier. + \o A \l{resource system} for embedding images and other resource files + into executable files makes it easier to deploy applications. + \o A \l{QTestLib Manual}{unit testing framework} for Qt applications and + libraries. + \endlist + + The mature classes provided by these technologies have been used to build + robust, cross-platform desktop applications. They are augmented by a number + of additional technologies and improvements that have appeared over the + lifetime of Qt 4. + + \section1 Graphical User Interfaces + + \div{class="float-right"} + \inlineimage gtk-tabwidget.png + \enddiv + \div{class="float-right"} + \inlineimage gtk-progressbar.png + \br + \inlineimage gtk-checkbox.png + \br + \inlineimage plastique-combobox.png + \br + \inlineimage plastique-radiobutton.png + \enddiv + + Alongside the support for traditional desktop user interfaces, Qt includes + support for declarative UI development with \l{Qt Quick}, a set of + technologies for creating fluid, dynamic user interfaces. A starting point + for exploring this approach can be found in the \l{Introduction to Qt Quick} + guide. + + Qt provides a range of standard user interface elements, called widgets, + for each supported platform. Widgets can be used as containers for other + widgets, as windows, and as regular controls that the user interacts with. + Where the platform supports it, widgets can be made to appear partially + transparent, and may be styled with \l{Qt Style Sheets}. + + Support for \l{QTouchEvent}{touch input} and \l{Gestures Programming}{gestures} + enable widgets to be used to create intuitive user interfaces for + touch-enabled devices. + + User interfaces can also be created dynamically at run-time with the + features provided by the \l{QtUiTools} module. + + A selection of available widgets are shown in the \l{Qt Widget Gallery}. + An introduction to the concepts behind widgets can be found in the + \l{Widgets Tutorial}. + + \clearfloat + \section1 Painting, Printing and Rendering + + \div{class="float-left"} + \inlineimage qpainter-affinetransformations.png + \enddiv + + Widgets are just one of many kinds of paint device that Qt can render onto. + This support for unified painting makes it possible for applications to use + the same painting code for different tasks, as well as allowing Qt to be + extended to support additional file formats. + + Qt provides support for common bitmap image formats, + \l{QtSvg Module}{Scalable Vector Graphics} (SVG) drawings and animations, + Postscript and Portable Document Format (PDF) files. Postscript and PDF are + integrated with \l{Printing with Qt}{Qt's printing system}, which also + allows printed output to be previewed. + + Interactive graphics can be created with the + \l{The Animation Framework}{animation framework}, allowing animations to be + used with both widgets and graphics items. Animations can be used with the + \l{The State Machine Framework}{state machine framework}, which provides a + way to express application logic and integrate it with the user interface. + Animations can be enhanced with a collection of + \l{QGraphicsEffect}{graphics effects} that operate on graphics items and + can be applied individually or combined to create more complex effects. + + Qt supports integration with \l{QtOpenGL}{OpenGL} on a number of levels, + providing convenience functions for handling textures and colors, as well + as providing support for pixel and sample buffers. Future support for + higher level 3D integration is provided by Qt3D enablers which include + \l{QMatrix4x4}{matrix multiplication}, \l{QQuaternion}{quaternions}, and an + API for \l{QGLShader}{vertex and fragment shaders}. + + Two APIs are provided for multimedia. The + \l{Phonon Overview}{Phonon Multimedia Framework} has traditionally been + used on desktop platforms. A set of + \l{QtMultimedia Module}{multimedia services} provides low-level access to + the system's audio system and is often used on mobile devices. + + \clearfloat + \section1 Infrastructure + + \div{class="float-right"} + \inlineimage qtscript-context2d.png + \enddiv + + Facilities for Inter-Process Communication (IPC) and Remote Procedure + Calling (RPC) mechanisms are available on platforms that support the + \l{intro-to-dbus.html}{D-Bus} message bus system. + + An \l{Undo Framework}{Undo framework} based on the + \l{Books about GUI Design#Design Patterns}{Command pattern} is designed to + enable a consistent approach to handling data in editing applications. + + The \l{QtScript} and \l{QtScriptTools} modules provide support for + application scripting and debugging using the ECMAScript language. + + The \l{QtHelp Module} provides the foundations of an interactive help + system that can be used in conjunction with Qt Creator or integrated into + applications directly. + + XML handling is supported in a number of places in Qt. The \l QtCore module + provides classes for reading and writing XML streams. The \l QtXmlPatterns + module includes XQuery, XPath and XSLT support, providing facilities for + XML processing beyond that supported by the QtXml module, which contains + SAX and DOM parsers.
