Introduction to Designer

The Qt Designer is a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) interface for laying out the widgets for your applications.

It allows you to drag and drop widgets onto your custom class and lay them out with minimal effort and 0 code. Your template will then be saved out to an XML based file (a .ui file) format that you can read into your application.
