+qt\-designer \- Visual user interface designer for Qt.
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.LP
+Qt Designer simplifies the process of designing and
+creating graphical user interfaces (GUI) using the
+award\-winning Qt toolkit. Qt Designer is easy to learn.
+There are tutorials, walkthrough examples and the
+reference documentation accelerating you through the
+learning phase. After that, Qt Designer greatly reduces
+the time and effort needed to develop even the most
+complex dialogs with an easy\-to\-use GUI and an integrated
+help system.
+
+ Qt Designer provides a rich set of features aimed at
+making the creation of dialogs as easy and smooth as
+possible without reducing the power of Qt. It offers all
+the strength of the Qt layout system with a well\-designed
+user interface. This, combined with the Qt Designer's
+undo/redo system makes it simple to try different
+arrangements of the widgets until the result satisfies
+you.
+
+ Using Qt Designer's convenient property editor along
+with the dynamic Qt property system it is easy to set the
+initial state of your widgets. Special editors for some
+widgets (like listboxes, comboboxes, etc.) allow you to
+fill these widgets with content without writing any code.
+Using the object hierarchy view, the parent\-child
+relationship between the widgets of a dialog can be
+understood at a glance.
+
+ Integrating dialogs into a Qt project is straightforward
+thanks to the User Interface Compiler (UIC), which
+generates C++ code from the XML dialog description on the
+fly. The programmer can easily extend the functionality
+of the generated classes by subclassing without touching
+generated code at all or running the risk of loosing
+their changes.
