+These demonstrations are intended to highlight Qt's capabilities in different
+application areas, and provide examples that are more advanced than those in
+the examples directory.
+
+Beginners to Qt may wish to try out the Qt tutorial and some of the examples
+before examining the demonstrations in detail.
+
+
+The example launcher can be used to explore the different categories
+available. It provides an overview of each example, lets you view the
+documentation in Qt Assistant, and is able to launch examples.
