    \title Qt Demonstrations
    \brief Information about the demonstration programs provided with Qt.

    \previouspage Qt Examples
    \contentspage How to Learn Qt
    \nextpage What's New in Qt 4.7

    This is the list of demonstrations in Qt's \c demos directory.
    These are larger and more complicated programs than the
    \l{Qt Examples} and are used to highlight certain features of
    Qt.

    \table 
    \header
    \o {2,1} Getting an Overview
    \row
    \o \inlineimage qtdemo-small.png
    \o If you run the \l{Examples and Demos Launcher}, you'll see many of Qt's
    widgets in action.

    The \l{Qt Widget Gallery} also provides overviews of selected Qt
    widgets in each of the styles used on various supported platforms.
    \endtable

    If you are new to Qt, and want to start developing applications,
    you should probably start by going through the \l{Tutorials}.

       shared between three different views.
    \o \l{demos/spreadsheet}{Spreadsheet} demonstrates the use of a table view
       as a spreadsheet, using custom delegates to render each item according to
       the type of data it contains.
    \endlist

    \section1 SQL

    \list
    \o \l{demos/books}{Books} shows how Qt's SQL support and model/view integration
       enables the user to modify the contents of a database without requiring
       knowledge of SQL.

    \list
    \o \l{demos/textedit}{Text Edit} shows Qt's rich text editing features and provides
       an environment for experimenting with them.
    \endlist

    \section1 Main Window

    \list
    \o \l{demos/mainwindow}{Main Window} shows Qt's extensive support for main window
       features, such as tool bars, dock windows, and menus.
    \o \l{demos/macmainwindow}{Mac Main Window} shows how to create main window applications that has 
      the same appearance as other Mac OS X applications.
    \endlist

    \section1 Graphics View

    \list
    \o \l{demos/chip}{40000 Chips} uses the \l{Graphics View Framework} to 
       efficiently display a large number of individual graphical items on 
       a scrolling canvas and highlighting features including rotation, 
       zooming, level of detail control, and item selection.
    \o \l{demos/embeddeddialogs}{Embedded Dialogs} showcases Qt 4.4's 
       \e{Widgets on the Canvas} feature by embedding several 
       fully-functional dialogs in a scene.
    \o \l{demos/boxes}{Boxes} showcases Qt's OpenGL support and the
       integration with the \l{Graphics View Framework}.
    \endlist

    \section1 Tools

    \list
    \o \l{demos/undo}{Undo Framework} demonstrates how Qt's
        \l{Overview of Qt's Undo Framework}{undo framework} is used to
        provide advanced undo/redo functionality.
    \endlist

    \section1 QtWebKit

    \list
