Change from QtWidgets to QtQuick

thiberi0

Hello everyone,
My name is Francisco Thiberio and I'm a student of civil engineering.
I have been developing a program that is able to simulate hydrological process in watershed, rivers and reservoir. I have used the QtWidgets module for all development of user interface and I am satisfied with the result, considering that I didn't know anything about the design of a user interface before and took only few months to learn.

However I think that would be a even great step if could make available the program to tablets and I want to use some animation too.However I don't know almost nothing about QML and QtQuick and would have to port all program before the end of this year.

My concern is for instance with the following features:

-be able to draw graphs easily(Currently I am using QCustomPlot, which is very straight forward)

-be able to link the index of a QComboBox to a QStackedWidget or QStackedLayout or similar class.

Everything that can be done with QtWidget can be done with QtQuick in similar manner?

Hi thiberi0,

You can read this "documentation":http://qmlbook.org to get started with QtQuick. Also you can find all information in official "documentation":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/modules-qml.html.

If you use Qt 5.3 you can use "QtQuickWidget":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qquickwidget.html to support QML and widget in you app.

About graphs in QML you can use JavaScript Canvas or C++ code using "QQuickPaintedItem":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qquickpainteditem.html. Also you can use "QWT":http://qwt.sourceforge.net with QML but this I don't tested and you need to research to find any information about using QWT with QML.
