44 \title Qt Demonstrations
45 \brief Information about the demonstration programs provided with Qt.
48 This is the list of demonstrations in Qt's \c demos directory.
49 These are larger and more complicated programs than the
50 \l{Qt Examples} and are used to highlight certain features of
51 Qt. You can launch any of these programs from the
52 \l{Examples and Demos Launcher} application.
54 If you are new to Qt, and want to start developing applications,
55 you should probably start by going through the \l{Tutorials}.
60 \o \l{demos/composition}{Composition Modes} demonstrates the range of
61 composition modes available with Qt.
62 \o \l{demos/deform}{Vector Deformation} demonstrates effects that are made
63 possible with a vector-oriented paint engine.
64 \o \l{demos/gradients}{Gradients} shows the different types of gradients
65 that are available in Qt.
66 \o \l{demos/pathstroke}{Path Stroking} shows Qt's built-in dash patterns
67 and shows how custom patterns can be used to extend the range of
69 \o \l{demos/affine}{Affine Transformations} demonstrates the different
70 affine transformations that can be used to influence painting operations.
71 \o \l{demos/arthurplugin}{Arthur Plugin} shows the widgets from the
72 other painting demos packaged as a custom widget plugin for \QD.
78 \o \l{demos/interview}{Interview} shows the same model and selection being
79 shared between three different views.
80 \o \l{demos/spreadsheet}{Spreadsheet} demonstrates the use of a table view
81 as a spreadsheet, using custom delegates to render each item according to
82 the type of data it contains.
88 \o \l{demos/books}{Books} shows how Qt's SQL support and model/view integration
89 enables the user to modify the contents of a database without requiring
91 \o \l{demos/sqlbrowser}{SQL Browser} demonstrates a console for executing SQL
92 statements on a live database and provides a data browser for interactively
93 visualizing the results.
99 \o \l{demos/textedit}{Text Edit} shows Qt's rich text editing features and provides
100 an environment for experimenting with them.
103 \section1 Main Window
106 \o \l{demos/mainwindow}{Main Window} shows Qt's extensive support for main window
107 features, such as tool bars, dock windows, and menus.
108 \o \l{demos/macmainwindow}{Mac Main Window} shows how to create main window applications that has
109 the same appearance as other Mac OS X applications.
112 \section1 Graphics View
115 \o \l{demos/chip}{40000 Chips} uses the
116 \l{The Graphics View Framework}{Graphics View} framework to efficiently
117 display a large number of individual graphical items on a scrolling canvas,
118 highlighting features such as rotation, zooming, level of detail control,
120 \o \l{demos/embeddeddialogs}{Embedded Dialogs} showcases Qt 4.4's \e{Widgets on
121 the Canvas} feature by embedding a multitude of fully-working dialogs into a
123 \o \l{demos/boxes}{Boxes} showcases Qt's OpenGL support and the
124 integration with the Graphics View framework.
130 \o \l{demos/undo}{Undo Framework} demonstrates how Qt's
131 \l{Overview of Qt's Undo Framework}{undo framework} is used to
132 provide advanced undo/redo functionality.
138 \o \l{Web Browser} demonstrates how Qt's \l{QtWebKit Module}{WebKit module}
139 can be used to implement a small Web browser.
145 \o \l{demos/mediaplayer}{Media Player} demonstrates how the \l{Phonon Module} can be
146 used to implement a basic media player application.
149 \note The Phonon demos are currently not available for the MinGW platform.
