    As we have seen in the previous tutorial, Marble employs runners to when dealing with .kml (or .gpx, .osm, etc) files. This tutorial shows how to use the MarbleRunnerManager class to open a .kml (or .gpx, ...) file and display its structure in a tree view.

    #include <QtCore/QDebug>
    #include <QtCore/QFileInfo>
    #include <QtGui/QApplication>
    #include <QtGui/QTreeView>
    
    #include <marble/MarbleWidget.h>
    #include <marble/MarbleModel.h>
    #include <marble/MarbleRunnerManager.h>
    #include <marble/GeoDataTreeModel.h>
    
    using namespace Marble;
    
    int main(int argc, char** argv)
    {
        QApplication app(argc,argv);
    
        QFileInfo inputFile( app.arguments().last() );
        if ( app.arguments().size() < 2 || !inputFile.exists() ) {
            qWarning() << "Usage: " << app.arguments().first() << "file.kml";
            return 1;
        }
    
        MarbleModel *model = new MarbleModel;
        MarbleRunnerManager* manager = new MarbleRunnerManager( model->pluginManager() );
    
        GeoDataDocument* document = manager->openFile( inputFile.absoluteFilePath() );
        if ( document ) {
            GeoDataTreeModel* treeModel = new GeoDataTreeModel;
            treeModel->addDocument( document );
            QTreeView* treeView = new QTreeView;
            treeView->setModel( treeModel );
            treeView->show();
        } else {
            qDebug() << "Unable to open " << inputFile.absoluteFilePath();
        }
    
        return app.exec();
    }
    

    Copy and paste the code above into a text editor. Then save it as my_marble.cpp and compile it by entering the following command on the command line:

     g++ -I /usr/include/qt4/ -o my_marble my_marble.cpp -lmarblewidget -lQtGui -lQtCore
    

    If things go fine, execute ./my_marble some-file.kml and you get a tree view of its structure similar to this screenshot (showing the structure of a route calculated with Marble):

    Tip
    Here's a little checklist to tackle some problems that might arise when compiling the code above:
    • You need Qt and Marble development packages (or comparable git installations), version 1.3 (Marble library 0.13), shipped post KDE 4.8
    • If Qt headers are not installed in /usr/include/qt4 on your system, change the path in the g++ call above accordingly.
    • Likewise, add -I /path/to/marble/headers if they're not to be found in /usr/include
