  \class QPersistentModelIndex

  \brief The QPersistentModelIndex class is used to locate data in a data model.

  \ingroup model-view

  A QPersistentModelIndex is a model index that can be stored by an
  application, and later used to access information in a model.
  Unlike the QModelIndex class, it is safe to store a
  QPersistentModelIndex since the model will ensure that references
  to items will continue to be valid as long as they can be accessed
  by the model.

  It is good practice to check that persistent model indexes are valid
  before using them.

    \class QModelIndex

    \brief The QModelIndex class is used to locate data in a data model.

    \ingroup model-view


    This class is used as an index into item models derived from
    QAbstractItemModel. The index is used by item views, delegates, and
    selection models to locate an item in the model.

    New QModelIndex objects are created by the model using the
    QAbstractItemModel::createIndex() function. An \e invalid model index can
    be constructed with the QModelIndex constructor. Invalid indexes are often
    used as parent indexes when referring to top-level items in a model.

    Model indexes refer to items in models, and contain all the information
    required to specify their locations in those models. Each index is located
    in a given row and column, and may have a parent index; use row(),
    column(), and parent() to obtain this information. Each top-level item in a
    model is represented by a model index that does not have a parent index -
    in this case, parent() will return an invalid model index, equivalent to an
    index constructed with the zero argument form of the QModelIndex()
    constructor.

    To obtain a model index that refers to an existing item in a model, call
    QAbstractItemModel::index() with the required row and column values, and
    the model index of the parent. When referring to top-level items in a
    model, supply QModelIndex() as the parent index.

    The model() function returns the model that the index references as a
    QAbstractItemModel. The child() function is used to examine items held
    under the index in the model. The sibling() function allows you to traverse
    items in the model on the same level as the index.

    \note Model indexes should be used immediately and then discarded. You
    should not rely on indexes to remain valid after calling model functions
    that change the structure of the model or delete items. If you need to
    keep a model index over time use a QPersistentModelIndex.

/*!
    \class QAbstractItemModel

    \brief The QAbstractItemModel class provides the abstract interface for
    item model classes.

    \ingroup model-view


    The QAbstractItemModel class defines the standard interface that item
    models must use to be able to interoperate with other components in the
    model/view architecture. It is not supposed to be instantiated directly.
    Instead, you should subclass it to create new models.

    The QAbstractItemModel class is one of the \l{Model/View Classes}
    and is part of Qt's \l{Model/View Programming}{model/view framework}.

    If you need a model to use with a QListView or a QTableView, you should
    consider subclassing QAbstractListModel or QAbstractTableModel instead of
    this class.

    The underlying data model is exposed to views and delegates as a hierarchy
    of tables. If you do not make use of the hierarchy, then the model is a
    simple table of rows and columns. Each item has a unique index specified by
    a QModelIndex.

    \image modelindex-no-parent.png

    Every item of data that can be accessed via a model has an associated model
    index. You can obtain this model index using the index() function. Each
    index may have a sibling() index; child items have a parent() index.

    Each item has a number of data elements associated with it and they can be
    retrieved by specifying a role (see \l Qt::ItemDataRole) to the model's
    data() function. Data for all available roles can be obtained at the same
    time using the itemData() function.

    Data for each role is set using a particular \l Qt::ItemDataRole. Data for
    individual roles are set individually with setData(), or they can be set
    for all roles with setItemData().

    Items can be queried with flags() (see \l Qt::ItemFlag) to see if they can
    be selected, dragged, or manipulated in other ways.

    If an item has child objects, hasChildren() returns true for the
    corresponding index.

    The model has a rowCount() and a columnCount() for each level of the
    hierarchy. Rows and columns can be inserted and removed with insertRows(),
    insertColumns(), removeRows(), and removeColumns().

    The model emits signals to indicate changes. For example, dataChanged() is
    emitted whenever items of data made available by the model are changed.
    Changes to the headers supplied by the model cause headerDataChanged() to
    be emitted. If the structure of the underlying data changes, the model can
    emit layoutChanged() to indicate to any attached views that they should
    redisplay any items shown, taking the new structure into account.

    The items available through the model can be searched for particular data
    using the match() function.

    To sort the model, you can use sort().


    \section1 Subclassing

    \note Some general guidelines for subclassing models are available in the
    \l{Model Subclassing Reference}.

    When subclassing QAbstractItemModel, at the very least you must implement
    index(), parent(), rowCount(), columnCount(), and data(). These functions
    are used in all read-only models, and form the basis of editable models.

    You can also reimplement hasChildren() to provide special behavior for
    models where the implementation of rowCount() is expensive. This makes it
    possible for models to restrict the amount of data requested by views, and
    can be used as a way to implement lazy population of model data.

    To enable editing in your model, you must also implement setData(), and
    reimplement flags() to ensure that \c ItemIsEditable is returned.  You can
    also reimplement headerData() and setHeaderData() to control the way the
    headers for your model are presented.

    The dataChanged() and headerDataChanged() signals must be emitted
    explicitly when reimplementing the setData() and setHeaderData() functions,
    respectively.

    Custom models need to create model indexes for other components to use. To
    do this, call createIndex() with suitable row and column numbers for the
    item, and an identifier for it, either as a pointer or as an integer value.
    The combination of these values must be unique for each item. Custom models
    typically use these unique identifiers in other reimplemented functions to
    retrieve item data and access information about the item's parents and
    children. See the \l{Simple Tree Model Example} for more information about
    unique identifiers.

    It is not necessary to support every role defined in Qt::ItemDataRole.
    Depending on the type of data contained within a model, it may only be
    useful to implement the data() function to return valid information for
    some of the more common roles. Most models provide at least a textual
    representation of item data for the Qt::DisplayRole, and well-behaved
    models should also provide valid information for the Qt::ToolTipRole and
    Qt::WhatsThisRole. Supporting these roles enables models to be used with
    standard Qt views. However, for some models that handle highly-specialized
    data, it may be appropriate to provide data only for user-defined roles.

    Models that provide interfaces to resizable data structures can provide
    implementations of insertRows(), removeRows(), insertColumns(),and
    removeColumns(). When implementing these functions, it is important to
    notify any connected views about changes to the model's dimensions both
    \e before and \e after they occur:

    \list
        \li An insertRows() implementation must call beginInsertRows() \e before
           inserting new rows into the data structure, and endInsertRows()
           \e{immediately afterwards}.
        \li An insertColumns() implementation must call beginInsertColumns()
           \e before inserting new columns into the data structure, and
           endInsertColumns() \e{immediately afterwards}.
        \li A removeRows() implementation must call beginRemoveRows() \e before
           the rows are removed from the data structure, and endRemoveRows()
           \e{immediately afterwards}.
        \li A removeColumns() implementation must call beginRemoveColumns()
           \e before the columns are removed from the data structure, and
           endRemoveColumns() \e{immediately afterwards}.
    \endlist

    The \e private signals that these functions emit give attached components
    the chance to take action before any data becomes unavailable. The
    encapsulation of the insert and remove operations with these begin and end
    functions also enables the model to manage \l{QPersistentModelIndex}
    {persistent model indexes} correctly. \b{If you want selections to be
    handled properly, you must ensure that you call these functions.} If you
    insert or remove an item with children, you do not need to call these
    functions for the child items. In other words, the parent item will take
    care of its child items.

    To create models that populate incrementally, you can reimplement
    fetchMore() and canFetchMore(). If the reimplementation of fetchMore() adds
    rows to the model, \l{QAbstractItemModel::}{beginInsertRows()} and
    \l{QAbstractItemModel::}{endInsertRows()} must be called.

/*!
    \since 4.6

    Begins a row move operation.

    When reimplementing a subclass, this method simplifies moving
    entities in your model. This method is responsible for moving
    persistent indexes in the model, which you would otherwise be
    required to do yourself. Using beginMoveRows and endMoveRows
    is an alternative to emitting layoutAboutToBeChanged and
    layoutChanged directly along with changePersistentIndexes.

    The \a sourceParent index corresponds to the parent from which the
    rows are moved; \a sourceFirst and \a sourceLast are the first and last
    row numbers of the rows to be moved. The \a destinationParent index
    corresponds to the parent into which those rows are moved. The \a
    destinationChild is the row to which the rows will be moved.  That
    is, the index at row \a sourceFirst in \a sourceParent will become
    row \a destinationChild in \a destinationParent, followed by all other
    rows up to \a sourceLast.

    However, when moving rows down in the same parent (\a sourceParent
    and \a destinationParent are equal), the rows will be placed before the
    \a destinationChild index. That is, if you wish to move rows 0 and 1 so
    they will become rows 1 and 2, \a destinationChild should be 3. In this
    case, the new index for the source row \c i (which is between
    \a sourceFirst and \a sourceLast) is equal to
    \c {(destinationChild-sourceLast-1+i)}.

    Note that if \a sourceParent and \a destinationParent are the same,
    you must ensure that the \a destinationChild is not within the range
    of \a sourceFirst and \a sourceLast + 1.  You must also ensure that you
    do not attempt to move a row to one of its own children or ancestors.
    This method returns false if either condition is true, in which case you
    should abort your move operation.

    \table 80%
    \row
        \li  \inlineimage modelview-move-rows-1.png Moving rows to another parent
        \li  Specify the first and last row numbers for the span of rows in
            the source parent you want to move in the model. Also specify
            the row in the destination parent to move the span to.

            For example, as shown in the diagram, we move three rows from
            row 2 to 4 in the source, so \a sourceFirst is 2 and \a sourceLast is 4.
            We move those items to above row 2 in the destination, so \a destinationChild is 2.

            \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_kernel_qabstractitemmodel.cpp 6

            This moves the three rows rows 2, 3, and 4 in the source to become 2, 3 and 4 in
            the destination. Other affected siblings are displaced accordingly.
    \row
        \li  \inlineimage modelview-move-rows-2.png Moving rows to append to another parent
        \li  To append rows to another parent, move them to after the last row.

            For example, as shown in the diagram, we move three rows to a
            collection of 6 existing rows (ending in row 5), so \a destinationChild is 6:

            \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_kernel_qabstractitemmodel.cpp 7

            This moves the target rows to the end of the target parent as 6, 7 and 8.
    \row
        \li  \inlineimage modelview-move-rows-3.png Moving rows in the same parent up
        \li  To move rows within the same parent, specify the row to move them to.

            For example, as shown in the diagram, we move one item from row 2 to row 0,
            so \a sourceFirst and \a sourceLast are 2 and \a destinationChild is 0.

            \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_kernel_qabstractitemmodel.cpp 8

            Note that other rows may be displaced accordingly. Note also that when moving
            items within the same parent you should not attempt invalid or no-op moves. In
            the above example, item 2 is at row 2 before the move, so it can not be moved
            to row 2 (where it is already) or row 3 (no-op as row 3 means above row 3, where
            it is already)

    is an alternative to emitting layoutAboutToBeChanged and

    corresponds to the parent into which those columns are moved. The \a
    destinationChild is the column to which the columns will be moved.  That
    is, the index at column \a sourceFirst in \a sourceParent will become
    column \a destinationChild in \a destinationParent, followed by all other
    columns up to \a sourceLast.

    However, when moving columns down in the same parent (\a sourceParent

    \class QAbstractTableModel
    \brief The QAbstractTableModel class provides an abstract model that can be
    subclassed to create table models.

    \ingroup model-view

    QAbstractTableModel provides a standard interface for models that represent
    their data as a two-dimensional array of items. It is not used directly,
    but must be subclassed.

    Since the model provides a more specialized interface than
    QAbstractItemModel, it is not suitable for use with tree views, although it
    can be used to provide data to a QListView. If you need to represent a
    simple list of items, and only need a model to contain a single column of
    data, subclassing the QAbstractListModel may be more appropriate.

    The rowCount() and columnCount() functions return the dimensions of the
    table. To retrieve a model index corresponding to an item in the model, use
    index() and provide only the row and column numbers.

    \section1 Subclassing

    When subclassing QAbstractTableModel, you must implement rowCount(),
    columnCount(), and data(). Default implementations of the index() and
    parent() functions are provided by QAbstractTableModel.
    Well behaved models will also implement headerData().

    Editable models need to implement setData(), and implement flags() to
    return a value containing
    \l{Qt::ItemFlags}{Qt::ItemIsEditable}.

    Models that provide interfaces to resizable data structures can
    provide implementations of insertRows(), removeRows(), insertColumns(),
    and removeColumns(). When implementing these functions, it is
    important to call the appropriate functions so that all connected views
    are aware of any changes:

    \list
    \li An insertRows() implementation must call beginInsertRows()
       \e before inserting new rows into the data structure, and it must
       call endInsertRows() \e{immediately afterwards}.
    \li An insertColumns() implementation must call beginInsertColumns()
       \e before inserting new columns into the data structure, and it must
       call endInsertColumns() \e{immediately afterwards}.
    \li A removeRows() implementation must call beginRemoveRows()
       \e before the rows are removed from the data structure, and it must
       call endRemoveRows() \e{immediately afterwards}.
    \li A removeColumns() implementation must call beginRemoveColumns()
       \e before the columns are removed from the data structure, and it must
       call endRemoveColumns() \e{immediately afterwards}.
    \endlist

    \note Some general guidelines for subclassing models are available in the

    \class QAbstractListModel
    \brief The QAbstractListModel class provides an abstract model that can be
    subclassed to create one-dimensional list models.

    \ingroup model-view

    QAbstractListModel provides a standard interface for models that represent
    their data as a simple non-hierarchical sequence of items. It is not used
    directly, but must be subclassed.

    Since the model provides a more specialized interface than
    QAbstractItemModel, it is not suitable for use with tree views; you will
    need to subclass QAbstractItemModel if you want to provide a model for
    that purpose. If you need to use a number of list models to manage data,
    it may be more appropriate to subclass QAbstractTableModel class instead.

    Simple models can be created by subclassing this class and implementing
    the minimum number of required functions. For example, we could implement
    a simple read-only QStringList-based model that provides a list of strings
    to a QListView widget. In such a case, we only need to implement the
    rowCount() function to return the number of items in the list, and the
    data() function to retrieve items from the list.

    Since the model represents a one-dimensional structure, the rowCount()
    function returns the total number of items in the model. The columnCount()
    function is implemented for interoperability with all kinds of views, but
    by default informs views that the model contains only one column.

    \section1 Subclassing

    When subclassing QAbstractListModel, you must provide implementations
    of the rowCount() and data() functions. Well behaved models also provide
    a headerData() implementation.

    For editable list models, you must also provide an implementation of
    setData(), implement the flags() function so that it returns a value
    containing \l{Qt::ItemFlags}{Qt::ItemIsEditable}.

    Note that QAbstractListModel provides a default implementation of
    columnCount() that informs views that there is only a single column
    of items in this model.

    Models that provide interfaces to resizable list-like data structures
    can provide implementations of insertRows() and removeRows(). When
    implementing these functions, it is important to call the appropriate
    functions so that all connected views are aware of any changes:

    \list
    \li An insertRows() implementation must call beginInsertRows()
       \e before inserting new rows into the data structure, and it must
