1 Qt uses a layout-based approach to widget management. Widgets are arranged in

     2 the optimal positions in windows based on simple layout rules, leading to a

     3 consistent look and feel.

     4 

     5 Custom layouts can be used to provide more control over the positions and

     6 sizes of child widgets.

     9 The example launcher provided with Qt can be used to explore each of the

    10 examples in this directory.

    11 

    12 Documentation for these examples can be found via the Tutorial and Examples

    13 link in the main Qt documentation.
