# Example (JKQTPlotter): Examples & Tutorials {#exampleProjectsTutorials}
This section assembles some simple examples of usage. 
You can find more (complex) examples for the classes in this repository in the subfolder "test". 
All test-projects are Qt-projects that use qmake to build. You can load them into QtCreator easily.
