11@page page_utils Utilities Overview
12
13In addition to the wxWidgets libraries (see @ref page_libs), some utilities
14are available to the users in the @c utils hierarchy (even if some of them are
15explicitly conceived for wxWidgets maintainance and will probably be of
16little use to others).
17
18Please note that these utilities do represent only the utilities developed
19and maintained by the wxWidgets team.
20There are lots of other user-contributed and user-maintained packages;
21see the wxWidgets download page: http://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads
22or directly http://wxcode.sourceforge.net or http://www.wxcommunity.com/ .

34@section page_utils_emulator Emulator
35
36Xnest-based display emulator for X11-based PDA applications.
37
38<!-- On some systems, the Xnest window does not synchronise with the
39'skin' window. THIS ISN'T THE PLACE FOR THIS STATEMENT I THINK -->
40
41This program can be found in @c utils/emulator.
42

44@section page_utils_helpview Help Viewer
45
46Helpview is a program for displaying wxWidgets HTML Help files.
47In many cases, you may wish to use the wxWidgets HTML
48Help classes from within your application, but this provides a
49handy stand-alone viewer. See @ref overview_html for more details.
50
51You can find Helpview in @c utils/helpview.
52
53
54@section page_utils_hhp2cached HHP2Cached
55
56This utility creates a "cached" version of a @c .hhp file; using cached @c .hhp
57files in wxHtmlHelpController can drammatically improve the performances
58of the help viewer. See wxHtmlHelpController for more details.
59
60You can find HHP2Cached in @c utils/hhp2cached.
61
62
63@section page_utils_ifacecheck Interface checker
64
65This utility compares the wxWidgets real interface contained in the @c include
66hierarchy with the wxWidgets interface used for documentation purposes and
67kept in the @c interface hierarchy.
68
69Ifacecheck warns about incoherences (mainly wrong prototype signatures) and
70can even correct them automatically. It uses the XML outputs of the gccxml utility
71(see http://www.gccxml.org) and of the Doxygen utility (see http://www.doxygen.org)
72to do the comparisons.
73
74It's explicitly designed for wxWidgets documentation needs and is probably of little
75use for anything else than wxWidgets docs reviewing.
76
77You can find it in @c utils/ifacecheck.
78
79
80@section page_utils_wxrc wxWidgets XML Resource Compiler
81
82This utility allows the user to compile @e binary versions of their XRC files,
83which are compressed and can be loaded faster than plain XRC files.
84See @ref overview_xrc for more info.
85
86You can find it under @c utils/wxrc.
