Qt Overview (C++ GUI development framework)


Qt 是奇趣科技于 1991 年开发的跨平台 C++ 图形用户界面 GUI 应用程序开发框架,采用 LGPL (GNU Lesser General Public License) 和商业许可授权协议。

Qt 向开发者提供了建立艺术级图形用户界面所需的全部功能,可开发 GUI 程序,也可开发非 GUI 程序,譬如:控制台工具、服务器。

Qt 开发框架是面向对象的,使用 MOC (Meta Object Compiler 元对象编译器) 特殊代码生成扩展及一些宏,易于扩展,允许组件编程。

Qt LTS (Long Term Supported 长支持版) 支持长达 3 年,在这段时间内,会持续提供更新和 Bug 修复。

基本上,Qt 同 X11 上的 GTK、Motif、Openwin 和 Windows 上的 MFC OWL VCL ATL 是同类型相似技术。

但 Qt 支持更多平台、面向对象且模块化程度更高、非常丰富的 API、支持 2D/3D 图形渲染、支持 OpenGL、大量开发文档、支持 XML、等。

Qt 包括多达 250 个以上的 C++ 类,还替供基于模板的 collections serialization file I/Odevice directorymanagement date/time 类,甚至还包括正则表达式、等。

Qt 提供了一种称为 signals/slots (信号/槽) 的机制来替代 callback (回调),这使得各对象之间的协同变得非常简单。
