/*!
    \class QCompassReading
    \ingroup sensors_reading

    \brief The QCompassReading class represents one reading from a
           compass.

    \section2 QCompassReading Units
    The compass returns the azimuth of the device as degrees from
    magnetic north in a clockwise direction based on the top of the UI.
    There is also a value to indicate the calibration status of the device.
    If the device is not calibrated the azimuth may not be accurate.

    Digital compasses are susceptible to magnetic interference and may need
    calibration after being placed near anything that emits a magnetic force.
    Accuracy of the compass can be affected by any ferrous materials that are nearby.

    The calibration status of the device 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.

    \class QCompass

    \brief The QCompass class is a convenience wrapper around QSensor.

    The only behavioural difference is that this class sets the type properly.

    This class also features a reading() function that returns a QCompassReading instead of a QSensorReading.

    For details about how the sensor works, see \l QCompassReading.
