Creating menus and toolbars is easy and TQt's <a href="signalsandslots.html">signals and slots</a> mechanism considerably simplifies GUI event handling. <p> Manually creating layouts can take some time to master, but there is an easy alternative: <a href="designer-manual.html">TQt Designer</a>. <a href="designer-manual.html">TQt Designer</a> includes simple but powerful layout tools and a code editor. It can automatically generate <tt>main.cpp</tt> and the <tt>.pro</tt> project file. <p> The <tt>chart</tt> application is ripe for further development and experimentation. You might consider implementing some of the following ideas: <ul> <li> Use a <a href="ntqvalidator.html">TQValidator</a> subclass to ensure that only valid doubles are entered as values. <li> Adding more chart types, e.g. line graph, area graph and hi-lo graph. <li> Allowing the user to set top, bottom left and right margins. <li> Allowing the user to specify a title which they can drag into position like the labels. <li> Providing an axis drawing and labelling option. <li> Providing an option to provide a key (or legend) instead of labels. <li> Adding a 3D look option to all chart types. </ul> <p> <p align="right"> <a href="tutorial2-10.html">« The Project File</a> | <a href="tutorial2.html">Contents »</a> </p> <p> <!-- eof --> <p><address><hr><div align=center> <table width=100% cellspacing=0 border=0><tr> <td>Copyright © 2007 <a href="troll.html">Trolltech</a><td align=center><a href="trademarks.html">Trademarks</a> <td align=right><div align=right>TQt 3.3.8</div> </table></div></address></body> </html>
