+ \example itemviews/chart
+ \title Chart Example
+
+ The Chart example shows how to create a custom view for the model/view framework.
+
+ \image chart-example.png
+
+ In this example, the items in a table model are represented as slices in a pie chart,
+ relying on the flexibility of the model/view architecture to handle custom editing
+ and selection features.
+
+ \b{Note that you only need to create a new view class if your data requires a
+ specialized representation.} You should first consider using a standard QListView,
+ QTableView, or QTreeView with a custom QItemDelegate subclass if you need to
+ represent data in a special way.
+
+ \omit
+ \section1 PieView Class Definition
+
+ The \c PieView class is a subclass of QAbstractItemView. The base class provides
+ much of the functionality required by view classes, so we only need to provide
+ implementations for three public functions: visualRect(), scrollTo(), and
+ indexAt(). However, the view needs to maintain strict control over its look and
+ feel, so we also provide implementations for a number of other functions:
+
+ \snippet itemviews/chart/pieview.h 0
+
+
+
+ \section1 PieView Class Implementation
+
+ The paint event renders the data from the standard item model as a pie chart.
+ We interpret the data in the following way:
+
+ \list
+ \li Column 0 contains data in two different roles:
+ The \l{Qt::ItemDataRole}{DisplayRole} contains a label, and the
+ \l{Qt::ItemDataRole}{DecorationRole} contains the color of the pie slice.
+ \li Column 1 contains a quantity which we will convert to the angular extent of
+ the slice.
+ \endlist
+
+ The figure is always drawn with the chart on the left and the key on
+ the right. This means that we must try and obtain an area that is wider
+ than it is tall. We do this by imposing a particular aspect ratio on
+ the chart and applying it to the available vertical space. This ensures
+ that we always obtain the maximum horizontal space for the aspect ratio
+ used.
+ We also apply fixed size margin around the figure.
+
+ We use logical coordinates to draw the chart and key, and position them
+ on the view using viewports.
