The \e uic reads a user interface definition +(.ui) file in XML as generated by \link designer-manual.book Qt +Designer\endlink and creates corresponding C++ header or source files. +It can also generate an image file to embed raw image data in C++ +source code. + +\section1 Options + +\section2 File Generation Options + +Generate declaration: +\code +uic [options] <file> +\endcode + +Generate implementation: +\code +uic [options] -impl <headerfile> <file> +\endcode +\list +\i \<headerfile\> - name of the declaration file +\endlist + +Generate image collection: +\code +uic [options] -embed <project> <image1> <image2> <image3> ... +\endcode +\list +\i \<project\> - project name +\i \<image[0..n]\> - image files +\endlist + +For convenience, \e uic can also generate declaration or +implementation stubs for subclasses. + +Generate subclass declaration: +\code +uic [options] -subdecl <classname> <headerfile> <file> +\endcode +\list +\i \<classname\> - name of the subclass to generate +\i \<headerfile\> - declaration file of the <b>baseclass</b> +\endlist + +Generate subclass implementation: +\code +uic [options] -subimpl <classname> <headerfile> <file> +\endcode +\list +\i \<classname\> - name of the subclass to generate +\i \<headerfile\> - declaration file of the <b>subclass</b> +\endlist + +\section2 General Options + +\list +\i \c{-o file} - write output to 'file' rather than to stdout. +\i \c{-nofwd} - omit forward declarations of custom classes in the +generated header file.
