recent build/use of Doxygen plugin?

artwaw

But QtCreator already does that to some extend?

mrjj

Hi
Not sure what the plugin does.

Creator can do tricks
( @artwaw beat me to it :)

like
///(and press enter)
class MainWindow : public QMainWindow {
gives
///
/// \brief The MainWindow class
///
class MainWindow : public QMainWindow {

and same with functions
///
/// \brief PointSegmentDistanceSquared
/// \param px
/// \param py
/// \param p1x
/// \param p1y
/// \param p2x
/// \param p2y
/// \param t
/// \param qx
/// \param qy
/// \return 
///
double PointSegmentDistanceSquared( double px, double py,
                                    double p1x, double p1y,
                                    double p2x, double p2y,
                                    double& t,
                                    double& qx, double& qy) {

I don't get that behavior from Creator. Did you have to do something to enable it?

mrjj

@mzimmers
Really?
I know only of these

I have that option enabled, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Are you using C++? And you just type "///" ? Do you select any code first?

mrjj

@mzimmers

I place cursor on line directly above class or function
i type /// (3 of them) and press enter

and yes c++.

mzimmers

OK, I got it to work for me. So, is the /// \ a newer format than the /*! listed in the doxygen help?

mrjj

@mzimmers
Not really. it is just one way.
you can also use
/**

(and enter) to get the other style.

/**
   * @brief MainWindow
   * @param parent
   */
  explicit MainWindow(QWidget* parent = 0);

I assume there are even more :)

mzimmers

Yay! Thanks...and yes there are more, at least this one: /!* (which supposedly is the Qt form).

So, once you get this in, do you just run doxygen separately?

mrjj

@mzimmers said in recent build/use of Doxygen plugin?:

So, once you get this in, do you just run doxygen separately?

Yes, i have .sh (bat) file to run it from the project folder.
I use a options file for it to specify settings.

@mzimmers I can confirm that this also works on Windows. I use standalone Doxygen, with dot, dia and all the stack.
