"" +.SH "NAME" +.LP +qvfb \- Virtual framebuffer for Qt +.SH "DESCRIPTION" +.LP +The virtual framebuffer allows Qt/Embedded programs to be +developed on your desktop machine, without switching +between consoles and X11. + +Start a Qt/Embedded master application (i.e., construct +QApplication with QApplication::GuiServer flag or use the +\-qws command line parameter). You will need to specify to +the server that you wish to use the virtual framebuffer +driver, e.g.: + + widgets \-qws \-display QVFb:0 + +You may prefer to set the QWS_DISPLAY environment +variable to be QVFb:0. + +qvfb supports the following command line options: + + \-width width: the width of the virtual framebuffer + (default: 240). + \-height height: the height of the virtual framebuffer + (default: 320). + \-depth depth: the depth of the virtual framebuffer (1, 8 + or 32; default: 8). + \-nocursor: do not display the X11 cursor in the + framebuffer window. + \-qwsdisplay :id the Qt/Embedded display id to provide + (default: 0). + + Virtual Framebuffer Design + +The virtual framebuffer emulates a framebuffer using a +shared memory region (the virtual frame buffer) and a +utility to display the framebuffer in a window (qvfb). +The regions of the display that have changed are updated +periodically, so you will see discrete snapshots of the +framebuffer rather than each individual drawing +operation. For this reason drawing problems such as +flickering may not be apparent until the program is run +using a real framebuffer. + +The target refresh rate can be set via the "View|Refresh +Rate" menu item. This will cause qvfb to check for +updated regions more tquickly. The rate is a target only. +If little drawing is being done, the framebuffer will not +show any updates between drawing events. If an +application is displaying an animation the updates will +be frequent, and the application and qvfb will compete +for processor time. + +Mouse and keyboard events are passed to the Qt/Embedded +master process via named pipes. + +The virtual framebuffer is a development tool only. No +security issues have been considered in the virtual +framebuffer design. It should be avoided in a production +environment; QT_NO_QWS_VFB should always be defined in +production libraries. +.SH "AUTHORS" +.LP +TrollTech <http://www.trolltech.com/> |
