<h1 align="center">Qt Designer Manual</h1>

<a name="qt-designer"></a><p><i>Qt Designer</i> is Trolltech's tool for designing and building graphical user interfaces (GUIs) from Qt components. It allows you to design and build widgets and dialogs using on-screen forms using the same widgets that will be used in your application. Components created with <i>Qt Designer</i> can also take advantage of Qt's signals and slots, and they can be previewed so that you can ensure that they will look and feel exactly as you intended.</p>
