+\section2 VisualItemModel

+VisualItemModel allows QML items to be provided as a model.  This model contains
 both the data and delegate (its child items).  This model does not provide any roles.

+\code
+ VisualItemModel {
+     id: itemModel
+     Rectangle { height: 30; width: 80; color: "red" }
