+    \class Q3PtrQueue
+    \brief The Q3PtrQueue class is a template class that provides a queue.
+    \compat
+
+    Q3ValueVector can be used as an STL-compatible alternative to this
+    class.
+
+    A template instance Q3PtrQueue\<X\> is a queue that operates on
+    pointers to X (X*).
+
+    A queue is a first in, first out structure. Items are added to the
+    tail of the queue with enqueue() and retrieved from the head with
+    dequeue(). You can peek at the head item without dequeing it using
+    head().
+
+    You can control the queue's deletion policy with setAutoDelete().
+
+    For compatibility with the Q3PtrCollection classes, current() and
+    remove() are provided; both operate on the head().
