Exclude Qt from doxygen header dependency graph

Question

I have a Qt-based C++ project and a Doxyfile to generate a documentation website for it. I like the include dependency graphs enabled by INCLUDE_GRAPH and INCLUDED_BY_GRAPH. Sometimes, however, they get very cluttered by all the Qt headers included. (How) can I only display my own files there? I tried adding EXCLUDE = /usr/include/qt, to no avail. This question has no answer, either.

We use EXCLUDE_PATTERNS. Try this: `EXCLUDE_PATTERNS = */include/qt/*` — V-R, Sep 28 '16 at 13:52
@V-R does not work, the Qt types are still in the include dependency graphs — azrdev, Sep 29 '16 at 08:18
Also searched around about a similar problem (glib dependency here). The only clunky work-around I found is https://stackoverflow.com/a/17886130/4545530 — mkiever, Sep 26 '18 at 21:11

Bit outdated but I have found the answer. Set up the INPUT_FILTER (under Expert/Input in doxywizard) to

sed -e "s:#include <Q.*>:// REMOVED:g"

This will preprocess any file that Doxygen analyses and replace all #include <QAnything> with comment // REMOVED.

Smart idea. Unfortunately it doesn't work on Windows. – Christoph Lipka Jul 18 '21 at 06:53
@ChristophLipka it should be possible in windows by similar way: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/127318/is-there-any-sed-like-utility-for-cmd-exe – Roman Pavelka Jul 19 '21 at 07:19
couldn't test it anymore, but sounds plausible, so I'm accepting the answer. thanks @Roman – azrdev Aug 09 '22 at 09:59
