11@page page_utils Utilities Overview
12
13@tableofcontents
14
15In addition to the wxWidgets libraries (see @ref page_libs), some utilities
16are available to the users in the @c utils hierarchy (even if some of them are
17explicitly conceived for wxWidgets maintainance and will probably be of
18little use to others).
19
20Please note that these utilities do represent only the utilities developed
21and maintained by the wxWidgets team.
22There are lots of other user-contributed and user-maintained packages;
23see the wxWidgets download page: http://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads
24or directly http://wxcode.sourceforge.net or http://www.wxcommunity.com/ .

28@section page_utils_emulator Emulator
29
30Xnest-based display emulator for X11-based PDA applications.
31
32<!-- On some systems, the Xnest window does not synchronise with the
33'skin' window. THIS ISN'T THE PLACE FOR THIS STATEMENT I THINK -->
34
35This program can be found in @c utils/emulator.

38@section page_utils_helpview Help Viewer
39
40Helpview is a program for displaying wxWidgets HTML Help files.
41In many cases, you may wish to use the wxWidgets HTML
42Help classes from within your application, but this provides a
43handy stand-alone viewer. See @ref overview_html for more details.
44
45You can find Helpview in @c utils/helpview.
46
47
48@section page_utils_hhp2cached HHP2Cached
49
50This utility creates a "cached" version of a @c .hhp file; using cached @c .hhp
51files in wxHtmlHelpController can drammatically improve the performances
52of the help viewer. See wxHtmlHelpController for more details.
53
54You can find HHP2Cached in @c utils/hhp2cached.

57@section page_utils_ifacecheck Interface Checker
58
59This utility compares the wxWidgets real interface contained in the @c include
60hierarchy with the wxWidgets interface used for documentation purposes and
61kept in the @c interface hierarchy.
62
63Ifacecheck warns about incoherences (mainly wrong prototype signatures) and
64can even correct them automatically. It uses the XML outputs of the gccxml utility
65(see http://www.gccxml.org) and of the Doxygen utility (see http://www.doxygen.org)
66to do the comparisons.
67
68It's explicitly designed for wxWidgets documentation needs and is probably of little
69use for anything else than wxWidgets docs reviewing.
70
71You can find it in @c utils/ifacecheck.
72
73
74@section page_utils_screenshotgen Screenshot Generator
75
76This utility automates the process of taking screenshots of various GUI
77components for use in the HTML documentation of wxWidgets.
78
79You can find it in @c utils/screenshotgen.
80
81
82@section page_utils_wxrc wxWidgets XML Resource Compiler
83
84This utility allows the user to compile @e binary versions of their XRC files,
85which are compressed and can be loaded faster than plain XRC files.
86See @ref overview_xrc for more info.
87
88You can find it under @c utils/wxrc.
