Installation and Usage

Installation

1. Make sure that you have Qt installed on your system (if not, you can get it from http:/qt.nokia.com). Further we'll be calling this directory QSINT_ROOT.
2. Unpack QSint from archive into a directory, i.e. c:/qsint.
3. Go into this directory and either open qsint.pro with Qt Creator and build from IDE, or use qmake and make sequence (depending on which compiler you have installed on your system).

Depending on your local project/compiler settings, library and binaries will be placed into the directory QSINT_BUILD_ROOT (it can be the same as QSINT_ROOT, or different, i.e. c:/qsint-build-desktop etc.)

After successful build process, you will get the library in the QSINT_BUILD_ROOT/lib subdirectory and examples executables in the QSINT_BUILD_ROOT/examples subdirectories.

Usage

To use QSint in your project:

1. Add into your .pro file:

INCLUDEPATH += QSINT_ROOT/include

// for release version
LIBS += -LQSINT_BUILD_ROOT/lib -lqsint

// for debug version
LIBS += -LQSINT_BUILD_ROOT/lib -lqsintd

1. In the .h/.cpp files where QSint widgets are used, put the necessary includes:

// for Core module
#include <QSint>

// for Charts module
#include <QSintCharts>

As all the QSint classes are nested within QSint namespace, you would also like to use this namespace as well.

using namespace QSint;
