NAME

       designer-qt4 - Visual user interface designer for Qt4.

DESCRIPTION

       Qt  Designer  simplifies  the process of designing and creating graphical user interfaces (GUI) using the
       award-winning Qt toolkit. Qt Designer is easy to learn.  There are tutorials,  walkthrough  examples  and
       the  reference documentation accelerating you through the learning phase. After that, Qt Designer greatly
       reduces the time and effort needed to develop even the most complex dialogs with an easy-to-use  GUI  and
       an integrated help system.

        Qt  Designer  provides a rich set of features aimed at making the creation of dialogs as easy and smooth
       as possible without reducing the power of Qt. It offers all the strength of the Qt layout system  with  a
       well-designed  user  interface. This, combined with the Qt Designer's undo/redo system makes it simple to
       try different arrangements of the widgets until the result satisfies you.

        Using Qt Designer's convenient property editor along with the dynamic Qt property system it is  easy  to
       set  the  initial  state  of  your widgets. Special editors for some widgets (like listboxes, comboboxes,
       etc.) allow you to fill these widgets with content without writing any code.  Using the object  hierarchy
       view, the parent-child relationship between the widgets of a dialog can be understood at a glance.

        Integrating  dialogs  into  a Qt project is straightforward thanks to the User Interface Compiler (UIC),
       which generates C++ code from the XML dialog description on the fly. The programmer can easily extend the
       functionality of the generated classes by subclassing without touching generated code at all  or  running
       the risk of loosing their changes.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       QTDIR  Specifies the Qt base directory.  On Debian systems this should be set to /usr/share/qt4.
