+\title Presenting Data with QML
+
+\section1 Introduction
+
+Qt Quick contains a set of standard items that can be used to present data in a
+number of different ways. For simple user interfaces,
+\l{Using QML Positioner and Repeater Items#Repeaters}{Repeaters} can be used
+in combination with
+\l{Using QML Positioner and Repeater Items#Positioners}{Positioners}
+to obtain pieces of data and arrange them in a user interface. However, when
+large quantities of data are involved, it is often better to use models with
+the standard views since these contain many built-in display and navigation
+features.
+
+\section1 Views
+
+Views are scrolling containers for collections of items. They are feature-rich,
+supporting many of the use cases found in typical applications, and can be
+customized to meet requirements on style and behavior.
+
+A set of standard views are provided in the basic set of Qt Quick
+graphical elements:
+
+\list
+\o \l{#ListView}{ListView} arranges items in a horizontal or vertical list
+\o \l{#GridView}{GridView} arranges items in a grid within the available space
+\o \l{#PathView}{PathView} arranges items on a path
+\endlist
+
+Unlike these items, \l WebView is not a fully-featured view item, and needs
+to be combined with a \l Flickable item to create a view that performs like
+a Web browser.
+
+\section2 ListView
+
+\l ListView shows a classic list of items with horizontal or vertical placing
+of items.
+
+\beginfloatright

+\endfloat
+
+The following example shows a minimal ListView displaying a sequence of
+numbers (using an \l{QML Data Models#An Integer}{integer as a model}).
+A simple delegate is used to define an items for each piece of data in the
+model.

+
+\section2 GridView
+
+\l GridView displays items in a grid like an file manager's icon view.
+
+\section2 PathView
+
+\l PathView displays items on a path, where the selection remains in
+the same place and the items move around it.

+
+\section2 Navigation
+
+In traditional user interfaces, views can be scrolled using standard
+controls, such as scroll bars and arrow buttons. In some situations, it
+is also possible to drag the view directly by pressing and holding a
+mouse button while moving the cursor. In touch-based user interfaces,
+this dragging action is often complemented with a flicking action, where
+scrolling continues after the user has stopped touching the view.
