QT学习笔记（八）：嵌入式Linux下的QT程序的运行及相应的参数

Running Qt for Embedded Linux Applications

A Qt for Embedded Linux application requires a server application to be running, or to be the server application itself. Any Qt for Embedded Linux application can be the server application by constructing the QApplication object with the QApplication::GuiServer type, or by running the application with the -qws command line option.

Applications can run using both single and multiple displays, and various command line options are available.

Note that this document assumes that you either are using the The Virtual Framebuffer or that you are running Qt for Embedded Linux using the VNC protocol, or that you have the Linux framebuffer configured correctly and that no server process is running. (To test that the Linux framebuffer is set up correctly, use the program provided by the Testing the Linux Framebuffer document.)

• Using a Single Display
• Using Multiple Displays
• Command Line Options

Using a Single Display

To run the application using a single display, change to a Linux console and select an application to run, e.g. demos/textedit. Run the application with the -qws option:

 cd path/to/QtEmbedded/demos/textedit
 ./textedit -qws

Provided that the environment variables are adjusted properly during the installation process, you should see theText Edit demo appear. It might be that the hardware drivers must be specified explicitly to make everything work properly. For more information, please consult the following documentation: Pointer Handling Character Input Display Management

Additional applications can be run as clients, i.e., by running these applications without the -qws option they will connect to the existing server as clients. You can exit the server application at any time using Ctrl+Alt+Backspace.

Using Multiple Displays

Qt for Embedded Linux also allows multiple displays to be used simultaneously. There are two ways of achieving this: Either run multiple Qt for Embedded Linux server processes, or use the ready-made Multi screen driver.

When running multiple server processes, the screen driver (and display number) must be specified for each process using the -displaycommand line option or by setting the QWS_DISPLAY environment variable. For example:

 ./myfirstserverapplication -qws -display "transformed:rot90:1"
 ./mysecondserverapplication -qws -display "QVFb:2"

See the display management documentation for more details on how to specify a screen driver. Note that you must also specify the display (i.e., server process) when starting client applications:

 ./myclientapplication -display "QVFb:2"

There is no way of moving a client from one display to another when running multiple server processes. Using the Multi screen driver, on the other hand, applications can easiliy be moved between the various screens.

The Multi screen driver can be specified just like any other screen driver by using the -display command line option or by setting theQWS_DISPLAY environment variable. For example:

 ./myserverapplication -qws -display "Multi: QVFb:0
         QVFb:1:offset=0,0 VNC:offset=640,0 :2"

See the display management documentation for details regarding arguments.

Command Line Options

Option	Description
-fn <font>	Defines the application font. For example: ./myapplication -fn helvetica The font should be specified using an X logical font description.
-bg <color>	Sets the default application background color. For example: ./myapplication -bg blue The color-name must be one of the names recognized by the QColor constructor.
-btn <color>	Sets the default button color. For example: ./myapplication -btn green The color-name must be one of the names recognized by the QColor constructor.
-fg <color>	Sets the default application foreground color. For example: ./myapplication -fg 'dark blue' The color-name must be one of the names recognized by the QColor constructor.
-name <objectname>	Sets the application name, i.e. the application object's object name. For example: ./myapplication -name texteditapplication
-title <title>	Sets the application's title. For example: ./myapplication -title 'Text Edit'
-geometry <width>x<height>+<Xoffset>+<Yoffset>	Sets the client geometry of the first window that is shown. For example: ./myapplication -geometry 300x200+50+50
-keyboard	Enables the keyboard. See also: Qt for Embedded Linux Character Input.
-nokeyboard	Disables the keyboard.
-mouse	Enables the mouse cursor. See also: Qt for Embedded Linux Pointer Handling.
-nomouse	Disables the mouse cursor.
-qws	Runs the application as a server application, i.e. constructs a QApplication object of theQApplication::GuiServer type.
-display	Specifies the screen driver. See also: Qt for Embedded Linux Display Management.
-decoration <style>	Sets the application decoration. For example: ./myapplication -decoration windows The supported styles are windows, default and styled. See also QDecoration.
