+ \title Traffic Light Example
+
+ The Traffic Light example shows how to use \l{The State Machine Framework}
+ to implement the control flow of a traffic light.
+
+ \image trafficlight-example.png
+
+ In this example we write a TrafficLightWidget class. The traffic light has
+ three lights: Red, yellow and green. The traffic light transitions from
+ one light to another (red to yellow to green to yellow to red again) at
+ certain intervals.
+
+ \snippet examples/statemachine/trafficlight/main.cpp 0
+
+ The LightWidget class represents a single light of the traffic light. It
+ provides an \c on property and two slots, turnOn() and turnOff(), to turn
+ the light on and off, respectively. The widget paints itself in the color
+ that's passed to the constructor.
+
+ \snippet examples/statemachine/trafficlight/main.cpp 1
+
+ The TrafficLightWidget class represents the visual part of the traffic
+ light; it's a widget that contains three lights arranged vertically, and
+ provides accessor functions for these.
+
+ \snippet examples/statemachine/trafficlight/main.cpp 2
+
+ The createLightState() function creates a state that turns a light on when
+ the state is entered, and off when the state is exited. The state uses a
+ timer, and as we shall see the timeout is used to transition from one
+ LightState to another. Here is the statechart for the light state:

+
+ The TrafficLight class combines the TrafficLightWidget with a state
+ machine. The state graph has four states: red-to-yellow, yellow-to-green,
+ green-to-yellow and yellow-to-red. The initial state is red-to-yellow;
+ when the state's timer times out, the state machine transitions to
+ yellow-to-green. The same process repeats through the other states.
+ This is what the statechart looks like:

+ The main() function constructs a TrafficLight and shows it.
