Here you can find definitions for the terms and concepts used in Qt.

Qt names

Here you can find names of Qt tools and solutions. In documentation, use QDoc macros for them, to apply any changes automatically. You can find a list of macros here: QDoc Manual: Product Names

Name Description Do not use Macro Status
CMake CMake is a tool to simplify the build process for development projects across different platforms. It automatically generates build systems, such as Makefiles and Visual Studio project files. ?
makeqpf A tool to generate pre-rendered fonts for embedded Linux. ?
Meta-Object Compiler (moc) Generates meta-object information for QObject subclasses. ?
qmake Qt's build automation tool that simplifies the build process across different platforms. Note! Although qmake is still supported, the official build tool for Qt is CMake and we recommend developers to use CMake in new projects. ?
QMLLive Provides a live reloader environment for rapid development of Qt Quick applications, dramatically reducing the time it takes to deploy and test changes in the UI design. ?
QML Runtime A utility to load and display QML documents. ?
Qt Creator A cross-platform, complete integrated development environment (IDE) for application developers to create applications for multiple desktop, embedded, and mobile device platforms. ?
Qt Designer A tool for designing and building graphical user interfaces (GUIs) using Qt Widgets. \QD
Qt Design Studio A UI design and development environment for creating animated user interfaces. \QDS
Qt Linguist A set of tools for translating Qt C++ and Qt Quick applications into local languages. \QL
QMLLive Provides a live reloader environment for rapid development of Qt Quick applications, dramatically reducing the time it takes to deploy and test changes in the UI design. ?
Qt Quick Effect Maker A standalone tool for creating high-performance shader effects for Qt Quick. Provides both a node and code editor to maximize productivity. ?
Qt Shader Tools Tools for the cross-platform Qt shader pipeline that enable processing graphics and compute shaders to make them usable for Qt Quick and other components in the Qt ecosystem. ?

Terms under work

Not sure which term to pick? Did you check the Microsoft Style Guide? If you can not find it there, add it here, so we can decide together.
