+
+
+
+
+<p> This page documents the <em>User Interface Compiler</em> for the TQt GUI
+toolkit. The <em>uic</em> reads a user interface definition
+(.ui) file in XML as generated by <a href="designer-manual.html">TQt
+Designer</a> and creates corresponding C++ header or source files.
+It can also generate an image file to embed raw image data in C++
+source code.
+<p> <h2> Options
+</h2>
+<a name="1"></a><p> <h3> File Generation Options
+</h3>
+<a name="1-1"></a><p> Generate declaration:
+<pre>
+uic [options] &lt;file&gt;
+</pre>
+
+<p> Generate implementation:
+<pre>
+uic [options] -impl &lt;headerfile&gt; &lt;file&gt;
+</pre>
+
+<ul>
+<li> &lt;headerfile&gt; - name of the declaration file
+</ul>
+<p> Generate image collection:
+<pre>
+uic [options] -embed &lt;project&gt; &lt;image1&gt; &lt;image2&gt; &lt;image3&gt; ...
+</pre>
+
+<ul>
+<li> &lt;project&gt; - project name
+<li> &lt;image[0..n]&gt; - image files
+</ul>
+<p> For convenience, <em>uic</em> can also generate declaration or
+implementation stubs for subclasses.
+<p> Generate subclass declaration:
+<pre>
+uic [options] -subdecl &lt;classname&gt; &lt;headerfile&gt; &lt;file&gt;
+</pre>
+
+<ul>
+<li> &lt;classname&gt; - name of the subclass to generate
+<li> &lt;headerfile&gt; - declaration file of the <b>baseclass</b>
+</ul>
+<p> Generate subclass implementation:
+<pre>
+uic [options] -subimpl &lt;classname&gt; &lt;headerfile&gt; &lt;file&gt;
+</pre>
+
+<ul>
+<li> &lt;classname&gt; - name of the subclass to generate
+<li> &lt;headerfile&gt; - declaration file of the <b>subclass</b>
+</ul>
+<p> <h3> General Options
+</h3>
+<a name="1-2"></a><p> <ul>
+<li> <tt>-o file</tt> - write output to 'file' rather than to stdout.
+<li> <tt>-nofwd</tt> - omit forward declarations of custom classes in the
+generated header file. This is necessary if typedef classes are used.
+<li> <tt>-tr func</tt> - use <tt>func(sourceText, comment)</tt> rather than
+trUtf8(sourceText, comment) for <a href="i18n.html#internationalization">internationalization</a>.
+<li> <tt>-pch file</tt> - add <tt>#include "file"</tt> as the first statement in the implementation file.
+</ul>
+<p> <h2> Usage
+</h2>
+<a name="2"></a><p> <em>uic</em> is almost always invoked by <tt>make (1)</tt>, rather than by hand.
+<p> Here are useful makefile rules if you only use GNU make:
+<pre>
+ %.h: %.ui
+ uic $&lt; -o $@
+
+ %.cpp: %.ui
+ uic -impl $*.h $&lt; -o $@
+</pre>
+
+If you want to write portably, you can use individual rules of the
+following form:
+<pre>
+ NAME.h: NAME.ui
+ uic $&lt; -o $@
+
+ NAME.cpp: NAME.ui
+ uic -impl $*.h $&lt; -o $@
+</pre>
+
+You must also remember to add <tt>NAME.cpp</tt> to your SOURCES (substitute
+your favorite name) variable and <tt>NAME.o</tt> to your OBJECTS variable.
+<p> (While we prefer to name our C++ source files .cpp, the <em>uic</em> doesn't
+care, so you can use .C, .cc, .CC, .cxx or even .c++ if you prefer.)
