Modify Branding of FreeCAD
eryar@163.com
This article describes the Branding of FreeCAD. Branding means to start your own application based on FreeCAD. That can be only your own executable or splash screen till a complete reworked program. Based on the flexible architecture of FreeCAD it’s easy to use it as base for your own special purpose program.
本文主要描述如何修改FreeCAD的Branding,从而使自己能基于FreeCAD灵活的架构快速开发出自己的应用程序。通过修改FreeCAD的Branding甚至启动画面,从而使程序看上去更像是自己开发的。
Branding信息主要在文件MainCmd.cpp和MainGrui.cpp中,这两个工程生成了FreeCAD可执行文件。
可以通过修改相关字符串,可以给可执行程序一个自己的名字,或者版本信息等的自定义,还有启动画面的自定义。
int main( int argc, char ** argv )
{
// Name and Version of the Application
App::Application::Config()["ExeName"] = "FooApp";
App::Application::Config()["ExeVersion"] = "0.7";
// set the banner (for loging and console)
App::Application::Config()["CopyrightInfo"] = sBanner;
App::Application::Config()["AppIcon"] = "FooAppIcon";
App::Application::Config()["SplashScreen"] = "FooAppSplasher";
App::Application::Config()["StartWorkbench"] = "Part design";
App::Application::Config()["HiddenDockWindow"] = "Property editor";
App::Application::Config()["SplashAlignment" ] = "Bottom|Left";
App::Application::Config()["SplashTextColor" ] = "#000000"; // black
// Inits the Application
App::Application::Config()["RunMode"] = "Gui";
App::Application::init(argc,argv);
Gui::BitmapFactory().addXPM("FooAppSplasher", ( const char** ) splash_screen);
Gui::Application::initApplication();
Gui::Application::runApplication();
App::Application::destruct();
return 0;
}
图片数据通过使用Qt的资源系统来编译到FreeCAD中去的。所以你需要写一个.qrc文件,将资源加到这个类似XML的qrc文件中。在程序中使用资源,需要在main()中添加下面一行:
Q_INIT_RESOURCE(FooApp);
如果你有XPM格式的图片,则可以直接使用:
Gui::BitmapFactory().addXPM("FooAppSplasher", ( const char** ) splash_screen);
改后效果如下图所示:
