| = How to use OS X Interface Builder .xib files in your project =
| | {{CMake/Template/Moved}} |
|
| |
|
| Using Apple's Developer tools usually programmers will use Interface Builder to create their user interfaces. These files are stored in a newer XML file format with the extension .xib. These files need to be "compiled" using the 'ibtool' into the older style .nib files and placed into the application bundle. The following is the CMake code from the VTK/Examples/GUI/Cocoa project where this is performed.
