Close to three months after the initial hotspot release, I’m happy to announce the release of version 1.1.0. Quick recap: Hotspot is a graphical frontend to the Linux perf profiler suite. It allows you to visually analyze perf.data files with the built-in Flame Graph and the Bottom-Up, Top-Down, or Caller-Callee data tables. It is a […]
We have released version 2.8.1 of our Qt application introspection tool GammaRay. This release contains a number of important bugfixes as well as support for Qt 5.9.2. Especially if you are experiencing corrupt views or crashes when searching in the object tree, or having trouble attaching to a process on Windows, you want to upgrade […]
Sometimes data visualization might call for more than a graph – you need to visualize complex data, such as that generated by city lighting, in three dimensions to get the full effect. KDAB decided to put together a showcase for the Qt World Summit that allowed us to demonstrate Qt 3D’s capabilities as a performant […]
QtQuick is a popular choice for creating HMIs for embedded devices. The hardware on these devices is often constrained and less performant than their desktop equivalents, this requires extra care from software developers in delivering a fluid user experience. KDAB is regularly involved in improving the performance of QtQuick HMIs on such devices for their […]
The program for CppCon 2017 is now published! CppCon is the annual conference for the C++ community: five days packed with over 100 talks, as well as inspiring keynotes, panel discussions, hallway chats, fun evening events and much more. CppCon is a project of the Standard C++ Foundation, a not-for-profit organization whose purpose is to […]
Property bindings are one of the most interesting features of the QML language. In QML, when we set a value on a property, the right hand side expression isn’t evaluated just once to produce a value, like in a ordinary imperative language. In particular, if the expression involves other properties, then the property we’re setting […]
Qt now provides a new module named Qt 3D. In this very short talk Giuseppe D’Angelo introduces some of the design ideas behind Qt 3D, discuss its use cases, and shows how simple it is to get 3D content in an application when using Qt 3D APIs.
Clang-Tidy, part 2: Modernize your source code using C++11/C++14. The blog series introduces you to the clang-tidy utility and how to use it to automatically refactor C++ source code and integrate it with your build system.
In the previous episode we presented how to uncover 32 Qt best practices at compile time with clazy. Today it’s time to show 5 more and other new goodies present in the freshly released clazy v1.2. New checks 1. connect-not-normalized Warns when the content of SIGNAL(), SLOT(), Q_ARG() and Q_RETURN_ARG() is not normalized. Using normalized […]
When using Qt’s model/view framework, filtering has always been very easy with QSortFilterProxyModel. To filter a list using text typed by the user in a line-edit, you have certainly been applying the standard recipe: instantiate the proxy; insert it between view and source model; connect the lineedit’s textChanged signal to the proxy’s setFilterFixedString slot; done!
