+ \class QMagnetometerReading
+ \ingroup sensors_reading
+ \inmodule QtSensors
+ \since 1.0
+
+ \brief The QMagnetometerReading class represents one reading from the
+ magnetometer.
+
+ \section2 QMagnetometerReading Units
+ The magnetometer returns magnetic flux density values along 3 axes.
+ The scale of the values is teslas. The axes are arranged as follows.
+
+ \image sensors-coordinates2.jpg
+
+ The magnetometer can report on either raw magnetic flux values or geomagnetic flux values.
+ By default it returns raw magnetic flux values. The QMagnetometer::returnGeoValues property
+ must be set to return geomagnetic flux values.
+
+ The primary difference between raw and geomagnetic values is that extra processing
+ is done to eliminate local magnetic interference from the geomagnetic values so they
+ represent only the effect of the Earth's magnetic field. This process is not perfect
+ and the accuracy of each reading may change.
+
+ The image below shows the difference between geomagnetic (on the left) and raw (on the right)
+ readings for a phone that is being subjected to magnetic interference.
+
+ \image sensors-geo-vs-raw-magnetism.jpg
+
+ The accuracy of each reading is measured as a number from 0 to 1.
+ A value of 1 is the highest level that the device can support and 0 is
+ the worst.
