### Description

Although this example includes ui_SideBySideRenderWindowsQt.h, this file is not distributed, it is created by Qt at compile time.

### Code

SideBySideRenderWindowsQtDriver.cxx

    #include <QApplication>
    #include <QSurfaceFormat>

    #include "QVTKOpenGLWidget.h"
    #include "SideBySideRenderWindowsQt.h"

    int main( int argc, char** argv )
    {
      // needed to ensure appropriate OpenGL context is created for VTK rendering.
      QSurfaceFormat::setDefaultFormat(QVTKOpenGLWidget::defaultFormat());

      // QT Stuff
      QApplication app( argc, argv );

      SideBySideRenderWindowsQt sideBySideRenderWindowsQt;
      sideBySideRenderWindowsQt.show();

      return app.exec();
    }
