Looking at the possibility of using QT to write a cross-platform IMT v2

Posted by on 06 Aug 2009 in Activity log

While on vacation I got the new QT 4.5 IDE working on my home computer, and it's very impressive. I think it's possible that it would be a good choice for development of IMT 2.0; it has:

good graphics and drawing support, including SVG
good XML support
good Unicode support
native compilation for Windows, OSX and Linux, as well as embedded Linux, S60 and Windows CE
a new LGPL licence, which frees it up a bit

Drawbacks would be the need to learn C++ and QT (no small task), but that would be a good skillset to acquire for many future projects, I think.

Image Markup Tool blog

The Image Markup Tool is a Windows application for annotating images, using TEI XML as its data format. Our aim is to produce a tool which creates conformant TEI P5 XML files, but which has a simple enough interface that it can be used by people with little or no experience in editing XML code.
