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

| 34 | @section page_utils_emulator Emulator |
| 35 | |
| 36 | Xnest-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 | |
| 41 | This program can be found in @c utils/emulator. |
| 42 | |
| 43 | |
| 44 | @section page_utils_helpview Help Viewer |
| 45 | |
| 46 | Helpview is a program for displaying wxWidgets HTML Help files. |
| 47 | In many cases, you may wish to use the wxWidgets HTML |
| 48 | Help classes from within your application, but this provides a |
| 49 | handy stand-alone viewer. See @ref overview_html for more details. |
| 50 | |
| 51 | You can find Helpview in @c utils/helpview. |
| 52 | |
| 53 | |
| 54 | @section page_utils_hhp2cached HHP2Cached |
| 55 | |
| 56 | This utility creates a "cached" version of a @c .hhp file; using cached @c .hhp |
| 57 | files in wxHtmlHelpController can drammatically improve the performances |
| 58 | of the help viewer. See wxHtmlHelpController for more details. |
| 59 | |
| 60 | You can find HHP2Cached in @c utils/hhp2cached. |
| 61 | |
| 62 | |
| 63 | @section page_utils_ifacecheck Interface checker |
| 64 | |
| 65 | This utility compares the wxWidgets real interface contained in the @c include |
| 66 | hierarchy with the wxWidgets interface used for documentation purposes and |
| 67 | kept in the @c interface hierarchy. |
| 68 | |
| 69 | Ifacecheck warns about incoherences (mainly wrong prototype signatures) and |
| 70 | can 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) |
| 72 | to do the comparisons. |
| 73 | |
| 74 | It's explicitely designed for wxWidgets documentation needs and is probably of little |
| 75 | use for anything else than wxWidgets docs reviewing. |
| 76 | |
| 77 | You can find it in @c utils/ifacecheck. |
| 78 | |
| 79 | |
| 80 | @section page_utils_wxrc wxWidgets XML Resource Compiler |
| 81 | |
| 82 | This utility allows the user to compile @e binary versions of their XRC files, |
| 83 | which are compressed and can be loaded faster than plain XRC files. |
| 84 | See @ref overview_xrc for more info. |
| 85 | |
| 86 | You can find it under @c utils/wxrc. |
