uic

SYNOPSIS
       uic [options] file

DESCRIPTION
       This page documents the User Interface Compiler for the Qt GUI toolkit.
       The uic reads a user interface definition (.ui) file in XML  as  gener-
       ated  by  Qt  Designer  and  creates corresponding C++ header or source
       files. It also generates an image file that embeds raw  image  data  in
       C++ source code.

       Generate declaration:
            uic  [options]  <file>

       Generate implementation:
            uic  [options] -impl <headerfile> <file>
               <headerfile>:    name of the declaration file

       Generate image collection:
            uic  [options] -embed <project> <image1> <image2> <image3> ...
               <project>:       project name
               <image[1..n]>:   image files

       For  convenience,  uic  can also generate declaration or implementation
       stubs for subclasses.

       Generate subclass declaration:
            uic   [options]  -subdecl   <subclassname>   <baseclassheaderfile>
       <file>
               <subclassname>:     name of the subclass to generate
               <baseclassheaderfile>:    declaration file of the baseclass

       Generate subclass implementation:
            uic  [options] -subimpl <subclassname> <subclassheaderfile> <file>
               <subclassname>:     name of the subclass to generate
               <subclassheaderfile>:    declaration file of the subclass


GENERAL OPTIONS
       -o file
              Write output to file rather than to stdout.

       -nofwd Omit  forward  declarations  of  custom classes in the generated
              header file. This is necessary if typedef classes are used.

       -tr func
              Use func() instead of tr() for internationalization.

       -version
              Display the version of uic and exit.


USAGE
       uic is almost always invoked by make(1), rather than by hand.
                   uic $< -o $@
           NAME.cpp: NAME.ui
                   uic -impl $*.h $< -o $@

       You must also remember to add NAME.cpp to your SOURCES (substitute your
       favorite name) variable and NAME.o to your OBJECTS variable.

       (While we prefer to name our C++ source files  .cpp,  the  uic  doesn't
       care, so you can use .C, .cc, .CC, .cxx or even .c++ if you prefer.)
