    \title Qt Quick Examples - Window and Screen
    \example window
    \brief This example demonstrates the Window and Screen types in QML
    \image qml-window-example.png
    \ingroup qtquickexamples

    This example shows you how to create a Window in QML, how to control its
    \l {QQuickWindow::visibility} {visibility}, how to present a splash screen
    during application startup, and how to access the properties of the
    \l Screen. It also demonstrates how to package QML into
    \l {The Qt Resource System} {resources} and provide an
    \l {Setting the Application Icon} {icon} to create a standalone QML desktop application.

    A splash screen can be created with the \l {Qt::SplashScreen} {Qt.SplashScreen} flag,
    and should be \l {Qt::ApplicationModal} {ApplicationModal} to prevent interaction
    with the main window. If the splash window is also transparent, and showing a
    partially transparent image, then it will look like a shaped window.
    \snippet window/Splash.qml splash-properties

    In this example a \l Timer will automatically dismiss the splash screen,
    but in a real application you might want to connect to a signal from the
    application logic to hide the splash when initialization is complete.
    \snippet window/Splash.qml timer

    The main window in this example is the control window, with some buttons
    and checkboxes to control and provide feedback on the state of a secondary
    window. Each checkbox has a binding to the property whose state it is
    displaying, and also an onClicked handler to change the state. This is the
    typical pattern to create a two-way binding while avoiding binding loops.
    \snippet window/window.qml windowedCheckbox

    The \l Screen has several properties which are generally useful to applications
    which need to rotate some content when the screen orientation changes, to position
    windows on the screen or to convert real units to logical pixel units.  ScreenInfo.qml
    (which is displayed inline in window.qml, or can be run by itself with qmlscene)
    simply displays the property values, while the splash screen uses them to
    center the window on the screen.
    \snippet window/Splash.qml screen-properties

    If a Window is nested inside an \l Item or another Window, the inner window
    becomes "transient for" the outer one (see \l Window for more explanation).
    But if you want to create multiple top-level windows as unrelated peers, you
    can create them inside a non-visual \l QtObject root item, as this example does.
