Object Inspector

Description

This tool provides various visual representations of the internal structure of a Qt application.

It is useful for programmers and software architects during development and debugging, or when working to familiarize themselves with the internal workings of a large application written by others. Object Inspector can connect to a running Qt application and: draw its QObject tree, draw the signal/slot connection graph for any QObject, display current property values for any QObject, report activation of signals and slots as they happen.
