    44     \title Chart Example
       
    45 
       
    46     The Chart example shows how to create a custom view for the model/view framework.
       
    47 
       
    48     \image chart-example.png
       
    49 
       
    50     In this example, the items in a table model are represented as slices in a pie chart,
       
    51     relying on the flexibility of the model/view architecture to handle custom editing
       
    52     and selection features.
       
    53 
       
    54     \bold{Note that you only need to create a new view class if your data requires a
       
    55     specialized representation.} You should first consider using a standard QListView,
       
    56     QTableView, or QTreeView with a custom QItemDelegate subclass if you need to
       
    57     represent data in a special way.
       
    58 
       
    59     \omit
       
    60     \section1 PieView Class Definition
       
    61 
       
    62     The \c PieView class is a subclass of QAbstractItemView. The base class provides
       
    63     much of the functionality required by view classes, so we only need to provide
       
    64     implementations for three public functions: visualRect(), scrollTo(), and
       
    65     indexAt(). However, the view needs to maintain strict control over its look and
       
    66     feel, so we also provide implementations for a number of other functions:
       
    67 
       
    68     \snippet examples/itemviews/chart/pieview.h 0
       
    69 
       
    70 
       
    71 
       
    72     \section1 PieView Class Implementation
       
    73 
       
    74     The paint event renders the data from the standard item model as a pie chart.
       
    75     We interpret the data in the following way:
       
    76 
       
    77     \list
       
    78     \o Column 0 contains data in two different roles:
       
    79        The \l{Qt::ItemDataRole}{DisplayRole} contains a label, and the
       
    80        \l{Qt::ItemDataRole}{DecorationRole} contains the color of the pie slice.
       
    81     \o Column 1 contains a quantity which we will convert to the angular extent of
       
    82        the slice.
       
    83     \endlist
       
    84 
       
    85     The figure is always drawn with the chart on the left and the key on
       
    86     the right. This means that we must try and obtain an area that is wider
       
    87     than it is tall. We do this by imposing a particular aspect ratio on
       
    88     the chart and applying it to the available vertical space. This ensures
       
    89     that we always obtain the maximum horizontal space for the aspect ratio
       
    90     used.
       
    91     We also apply fixed size margin around the figure.
       
    92 
       
    93     We use logical coordinates to draw the chart and key, and position them
       
    94     on the view using viewports.
