    \namespace Qt

    \inmodule QtCore

    \target Qt Namespace

    \brief The Qt namespace contains miscellaneous identifiers

    used throughout the Qt library.

*/

/*!

    \enum Qt::Orientation

    This type is used to signify an object's orientation.

    \value Horizontal

    \value Vertical

    Orientation is used with QScrollBar for example.

*/

/*!

    \enum Qt::AlignmentFlag

    This enum type is used to describe alignment. It contains

    horizontal and vertical flags that can be combined to produce

    the required effect.

    The \l{TextElideMode} enum can also be used in many situations

    to fine-tune the appearance of aligned text.

    The horizontal flags are:

    \value AlignLeft Aligns with the left edge.

    \value AlignRight Aligns with the right edge.

    \value AlignHCenter Centers horizontally in the available space.

    \value AlignJustify Justifies the text in the available space.

    \omitvalue AlignAuto

    The vertical flags are:

    \value AlignTop Aligns with the top.

    \value AlignBottom Aligns with the bottom.

    \value AlignVCenter Centers vertically in the available space.

    You can use only one of the horizontal flags at a time. There is

    one two-dimensional flag:

    \value AlignCenter Centers in both dimensions.

    You can use at most one horizontal and one vertical flag at a

    time. Qt::AlignCenter counts as both horizontal and vertical.

    Three enum values are useful in applications that can be run in

    right-to-left mode:

    \value AlignAbsolute  If the widget's layout direction is

        Qt::RightToLeft (instead of Qt::LeftToRight, the default),

        Qt::AlignLeft refers to the \e right edge and Qt::AlignRight

        to the \e left edge. This is normally the desired behavior.

        If you want Qt::AlignLeft to always mean "left" and

        Qt::AlignRight to always mean "right", combine the flag with

        Qt::AlignAbsolute.

    \value AlignLeading  Synonym for Qt::AlignLeft.

    \value AlignTrailing  Synonym for Qt::AlignRight.

    Masks:

    \value AlignHorizontal_Mask

    \value AlignVertical_Mask

    Conflicting combinations of flags have undefined meanings.

*/

/*!

    \enum Qt::ApplicationAttribute

    This enum describes attributes that change the behavior of

    application-wide features. These are enabled and disabled using

    QCoreApplication::setAttribute(), and can be tested for with

    QCoreApplication::testAttribute().

    \value AA_ImmediateWidgetCreation Ensures that widgets are created

           as soon as they are constructed. By default, resources for

           widgets are allocated on demand to improve efficiency and

           minimize resource usage. Setting or clearing this attribute

           affects widgets constructed after the change. Setting it

           tells Qt to create toplevel windows immediately.

           Therefore, if it is important to minimize resource

           consumption, do not set this attribute.

    \value AA_MSWindowsUseDirect3DByDefault This value is obsolete and

           has no effect.

    \value AA_DontShowIconsInMenus Actions with the Icon property won't be

           shown in any menus unless specifically set by the

           QAction::iconVisibleInMenu property.

           Menus that are currently open or menus already created in the native

           Mac OS X menubar \e{may not} pick up a change in this attribute. Changes

           in the QAction::iconVisibleInMenu property will always be picked up.

    \value AA_NativeWindows Ensures that widgets have native windows.

    \value AA_DontCreateNativeWidgetSiblings Ensures that siblings of native

           widgets stay non-native unless specifically set by the

           Qt::WA_NativeWindow attribute.

    \value AA_MacPluginApplication Stops the Qt mac application from doing

           specific initializations that do not necessarily make sense when using Qt

           to author a plugin. This includes avoiding loading our nib for the main

           menu and not taking possession of the native menu bar. When setting this

           attribute to true will also set the AA_DontUseNativeMenuBar attribute

           to true.

    \value AA_DontUseNativeMenuBar All menubars created while this attribute is

           set to true won't be used as a native menubar (e.g, the menubar at

           the top of the main screen on Mac OS X or at the bottom in Windows CE).

    \value AA_MacDontSwapCtrlAndMeta On Mac OS X by default, Qt swaps the

           Control and Meta (Command) keys (i.e., whenever Control is pressed, Qt

           sends Meta, and whenever Meta is pressed Control is sent). When this

           attribute is true, Qt will not do the flip. QKeySequence::StandardShortcuts

           will also flip accordingly (i.e., QKeySequence::Copy will be

           Command+C on the keyboard regardless of the value set, though what is output for

           QKeySequence::toString(QKeySequence::PortableText) will be different).

    \value AA_S60DontConstructApplicationPanes Stops Qt from initializing the S60 status

           pane and softkey pane on Symbian. This is useful to save memory and reduce

           startup time for applications that will run in fullscreen mode during their

           whole lifetime. This attribute must be set before QApplication is

           constructed.

/*!

    \enum Qt::MouseButton

    This enum type describes the different mouse buttons.

    \value NoButton        The button state does not refer to any

    button (see QMouseEvent::button()).

    \value LeftButton      The left button is pressed, or an event refers

    to the left button. (The left button may be the right button on

    left-handed mice.)

    \value RightButton     The right button.

    \value MidButton       The middle button.

    \value MiddleButton    The middle button.

    \value XButton1        The first X button.

    \value XButton2        The second X button.

    \omitvalue MouseButtonMask

    \sa KeyboardModifier Modifier

*/

/*!

    \enum Qt::KeyboardModifier

    This enum describes the modifier keys.

    \value NoModifier       No modifier key is pressed.

    \value ShiftModifier    A Shift key on the keyboard is pressed.

    \value ControlModifier  A Ctrl key on the keyboard is pressed.

    \value AltModifier      An Alt key on the keyboard is pressed.

    \value MetaModifier     A Meta key on the keyboard is pressed.

    \value KeypadModifier   A keypad button is pressed.

    \value GroupSwitchModifier X11 only. A Mode_switch key on the keyboard is pressed.

    \omitvalue KeyboardModifierMask

    \note On Mac OS X, the \c ControlModifier value corresponds to

    the Command keys on the Macintosh keyboard, and the \c MetaModifier value

    corresponds to the Control keys. The \c KeypadModifier value will also be set

    when an arrow key is pressed as the arrow keys are considered part of the

    keypad.

    \note On Windows Keyboards, Qt::MetaModifier and Qt::Key_Meta are mapped

    to the Windows key.

*/

/*!

    \enum Qt::Modifier

    This enum provides shorter names for the keyboard modifier keys

    supported by Qt.

    \bold{Note:} On Mac OS X, the \c CTRL value corresponds to

    the Command keys on the Macintosh keyboard, and the \c META value

    corresponds to the Control keys.

    \value SHIFT The Shift keys provided on all standard keyboards.

    \value META The Meta keys.

    \value CTRL The Ctrl keys.

    \value ALT The normal Alt keys, but not keys like AltGr.

    This enum describes the types of connection that can be used

    \value AutoConnection
