  \class HbEffect

  \brief HbEffect is used to control effects on graphics components.

  HbEffect has functions to start or cancel effects (like scaling, fading,
  rotation, various filter effects). The effects are usually trigerred by
  various events and are themable.  The effect definition is read from FXML
  files. All the widgets which want to show an effect should have their effects
  defined in an FXML file.  For example, view can have an effect animation
  defined in albumitem_anim.fxml with the following content:

  \code

  <layers>
  <visual>

  <param name="scale_x" type="anim">
  <duration>0.1</duration>
  <style>inoutback</style>
  <keyframe at="0.0">1.0</keyframe>
  <keyframe at="1.0">2.0</keyframe>
  </param>
  <param name="scale_y" type="anim">
  <keyframe at="0.0">1.0</keyframe>
  <keyframe at="1.0">2.0</keyframe>
  </param>
  <param name="scale_origin_x" ref="visual.width">0.5</param>
  <param name="scale_origin_y" ref="visual.height">0.5</param>
  <param name="opacity" type="anim">
  <duration>0.1</duration>
  <style>linear</style>
  <keyframe at="0.0">1.0</keyframe>
  <keyframe at="1.0">0.5</keyframe>
  </param>

  </visual>
  </layers>

  \param userData Any user data provided here will be passed back in the

  via the given slot.  This may help the client to keep track of the states when
  the effect was started and ended.

  \param extRect Defines external rectangle to be used with the effect. It has
  effect only with scale and translate effects, which use the "extrect" keyword
  in the effect definition. With this parameter you can e.g. create an effect,
  which scales and translates the item from any given rectangle to its own
  rectangle.

/*!  \brief This function starts the same effect simultaneously for a given list
  of graphics items.

  The effect definition is taken from the FXML file registered to the given item
  type.

  \param items The target items for the effect

  \param itemType A string identifying the type of the items. For example,
  "button".  This should be same as the one passed in HbEffect::add() function
  for adding the xml.

  \param effectEvent A string identifying effect event type (e.g "appear").
  This should be same as the one passed in HbEffect::add() function for adding
  the xml.

  \param receiver This is a QObject which is notified once by calling its slot
  when all of the items have finished their effects. This is an optional
  parameter and its default value is NULL. Ownership is not transferred.

  \param member The name of the function of receiver which will be called when
  effect is finished. This is an optional parameter and its default value is 0.
  The signature of the function must be the following: \c void
  memberSlotName(const HbEffect::EffectStatus &status)

  \note It is guaranteed that the slot is always invoked once, unless prohobited
  when canceling the effect.  Normally the slot is invoked asynchronously when
  the effect has finished or it has been canceled.  If the effect is not started
  at all, the slot is invoked synchronously with the reason
  Hb::EffectNotStarted.

  \param userData Any user data provided here will be passed back in the
  HbEffectStatus struct when the effect being finished is notified to the client
  via the given slot.  This may help the client to keep track of the states when
  the effect was started and ended.

  \sa HbEffect::EffectStatus

  The function returns \c false if some invalid parameter is passed, or if the
  effect was disabled using disable().

/*!
  The real implementation for HbEffect::start().

  Watch out for the difference between the registration and target items. Even though in
  most cases HbEffect::start() will invoke this by passing the same pointer to both, there
  are certain situations when they can be different (e.g. when a view switch effect is
  registered via add() by the user for the HbView instance, but effect has to operate on
  another graphics item, e.g. the view's content widget or some other "screen" item, etc.)

  \a registrationItem is used for all bookeeping (for fxml lookup, in the event-effect
  list, in effect groups, etc.).  \a targetItem is used only for the actual transformation
  or filter effect implementations.

  For functions that operate with one graphics item parameter (e.g. cancel()), that
  parameter corresponds to the \a registrationItem. The internal difference (and
  possibility) of having separate registration and target items is not exposed to the
  users of the HbEffect API in any way.

  When ClearEffectWhenFinished is set (it is typically not set when coming from the standard
  HbEffect APIs) the effect is always removed when it is finished or canceled (similarly to
  when cancel() is called with clearEffect set to true).

  When ShowItemOnFirstUpdate is set, the target and registration items are set to visible
  after the effects have been first applied. This flag is useful in certain cases to make
  sure there is no flickering.
