    Default Real time QT application?

    Hi.

    I like to create an application that runs in real-time.
    It needs to run at a very high frame rate.
    My question is, should I therefore build my application as a qt console application or should I build it like a normal widget QT application with basic window functions?
    Anyone has experience if this choice between console and non-console makes a difference?

    Thanks!

    You can not run (even though you somehow manage create it) an application in real time, on a non-real time machine.

    It needs to run at a very high frame rate.

    You say high frame rate, does that imply you need a GUI.

    What I think is console or GUI should be decided based on use interface requirements, one can write GUI with high performing back end (non-GUI) components. It is also possibly to write a low performance console based application.

    I would say to go with a light weight GUI, and high performing components in back end and always exploit the components provided by frameworks.
