console appication

Do all Qt based applications that use the Runtime SDK require a GUI? I need a workhorse that will return spatial information about resources without displaying them.

Hi Mauricio,

Most things in the SDK do not require a GUI and should work in a console app. However, we don't have a template app or anything to get you started. Synchronous calls like using our GeometryEngine should be fairly straight forward, but you will have to be a bit more clever with asynchronous methods, as you'll need an event loop. Sorry I don't have any examples, but this should be possible.
