    Default Diagramming Toolkit using QT

    Greetings fellow QT'ians:

    I have a question concerning QT and its use in building a diagramming toolkit - such as for example a UML Modeling Tool or a graph editor.
    Is this possible using QT?
    Are there any examples?
    Which classes should I refer to in order to start thinking about building a tool such as the aforementioned?

    I would greatly appreciate your help.

    Regards
    - AJ

    Everything is possible using Qt Except maybe cooking but that hasn't been proved yet...
    If I remember well Umbrello uses KDE libs which are built on top of Qt... As for classes themselves I would recommend the QGraphicsView framework. The examples will certainly help you to handle the relationships between various elements that compose a diagram (I'm especially thinking about the Elastic Nodes).
    Current Qt projects : QCodeEdit, RotiDeCode

    Yes it is possible. Use QGraphicsView, which is a canvas-style widget perfect for these kinds of graphics. Qt 4.3.0 even includes a mini-flowchart example, "diagram scene".
