7 <main_window.h>

8 <qgridview.h> is used to orient objects in a grid structure. The functions in this package essentially allow users to define a grid to use to orient different widgets.

9 <qhbox.h> is a class that creates QHBox objects that organize child widgets in a horizontal row.

10 <qhbuttongroup.h> works similarly to <qhbox.h> except that it is intended to contain buttons, which are themselves defined in another Qt package.

11 <qlabel.h> contains functions that enable users to embed text into a GUI.

12 <qlayout.h> has functions that allows customization of where buttons, windows, etc. are located

13 <qpushbutton.h> is a class that creates buttons in the GUI that are animated to be depressed/pushed down when clicked.

14 <qtimer.h> contains functions that can be used for benchmarking purposes. It's used within DefaultGUIModel to time screen refreshing.

15 <qtooltip.h> allows users to add tooltips to QObjects and their derivatives. Tooltips are messages that are displayed when a mouse hovers over something. In many GUIs, for example, hovering the mouse over something like 'Open' or 'Save' will cause a small message to appear explaining what the option over which the mouse hovers does. Those messages are tooltips.

16 <qvalidator.h> checks for values entered into widgets to ensure they match the underlying specifications.

17 <qvbox.h> operates identically to <qhbox> except that this class orients child widgets in a vertical column.

18 <qwhatsthis.h> provides help text and informations to users about different widgets when the code is run.
