[Qt-interest] How to layout off-line.

[Malyushytsky, Alex]

Does Non-Gui mode means it runs on the system which does not support graphics?
According to my understanding you can't use QLayout without QWidgets.
At the same time if your system supports GUI, it does not have to be visible.
So running from command line might not prevent you to create an instance of the widgets (even hidden).
If this not an option you might need to create your own layout class which will work with bounding boxes.

Gang:

My application displays a complex scene of custom
widgets. These scenes are conveniently arranged
using the Qt Layout system and classes.

I need to support printing of these presentations
when the application runs in non-GUI mode,
perhaps from the command line.

So, the question is, how do I layout the scene
for off-line printing if the Qt layout system assumes
inheritance from QWidget which requires an X11
(GUI) connection?

Thanks in advance.

Bill
