+  \class Q3PtrVector
+  \brief The Q3PtrVector class is a template collection class that
+  provides a vector (array).
+  \compat
+
+  Q3ValueVector is an STL-compatible alternative to this class.
+
+  Q3PtrVector is implemented as a template class. Defines a template
+  instance Q3PtrVector\<X\> to create a vector that contains pointers
+  to X (X*).
+
+  A vector is the same as an array. The main difference between
+  Q3PtrVector and Q3MemArray is that Q3PtrVector stores pointers to the
+  elements, whereas Q3MemArray stores the elements themselves (i.e.
+  Q3MemArray is value-based and Q3PtrVector is pointer-based).
+
+  Items are added to the vector using insert() or fill(). Items are
+  removed with remove(). You can get a pointer to an item at a
+  particular index position using at().
+
+  Unless otherwise stated, all functions that remove items from the
+  vector will also delete the element pointed to if \link
+  setAutoDelete() auto-deletion\endlink is enabled. By default,
+  auto-deletion is disabled; see setAutoDelete(). This behavior can
+  be changed in a subclass by reimplementing the virtual function
+  deleteItem().
+
+  Functions that compare items (find() and sort() for example) will
+  do so using the virtual function compareItems(). The default
+  implementation of this function only compares the pointer values.
+  Reimplement compareItems() in a subclass to get searching and
+  sorting based on the item contents. You can perform a linear
+  search for a pointer in the vector using findRef(), or a binary
+  search (of a sorted vector) using bsearch(). You can count the
+  number of times an item appears in the vector with contains() or
+  containsRef().
