PowerSlider Qt Widget

Presentation

Qt Widget, a slider and a double spinbox !

This small piece of code can ease the setup of GUI when you have to control floating point values.

A designer plugin is provided to design interface with "PowerSlider" directly in designer.

Manual comming soon (well, or not, expect if someone ask :D )

compile and install

Default installation is PowerSlider/Bundle-* directory depending on compiler and build type.

Designer plugin need Qt5 UiTools package (debian pkg qttools5-dev), to skip designer plugin build add -DBUILD_DESIGNER_PLUGIN=Off to cmake call.

Installation is done under lib and include directory of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX

So a typical build looks like

cmake -B build -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=somewhere
cmake --build build --target install

Then copy the QtDesigner plugin to the appropriate place, and run designer

cp somehere/plugins/designer/libPowerSliderPlugin.so ~/.qt/plugins/designer/
QT_PLUGIN_PATH=~/.qt/plugins/ designer

designer should have the new widget in his list as in the screen shot here :

use in you project

We use example as an example for this case. Configure package find in your CMakeLists.txt (e.g. (find_package PowerSlider)) and give PowerSlider_DIR to cmake invocation

cmake example -B build-example -DPowerSlider_DIR=`pwd`/PowerSlider/Bundle-GNU-Release/lib/cmake/PowerSlider
cmake --build build-example
