\section2 Functions
The Qt object also contains the following miscellaneous functions which expose Qt functionality for use in QML.
-\section3 Qt.lighter(color baseColor)
-This function returns a color 50% lighter than \c baseColor. See QColor::lighter() for further details.
-\section3 Qt.darker(color baseColor)
-This function returns a color 50% darker than \c baseColor. See QColor::darker() for further details.
+\section3 Qt.lighter(color baseColor, real factor)
+This function returns a color lighter than \c baseColor by the \c factor provided.
+
+If the factor is greater than 1.0, this functions returns a lighter color.
+Setting factor to 1.5 returns a color that is 50% brighter. If the factor is less than 1.0,
+the return color is darker, but we recommend using the Qt.darker() function for this purpose.
+If the factor is 0 or negative, the return value is unspecified.
+
+The function converts the current RGB color to HSV, multiplies the value (V) component
+by factor and converts the color back to RGB.
+
+If \c factor is not supplied, returns a color 50% lighter than \c baseColor (factor 1.5).
+
+\section3 Qt.darker(color baseColor, real factor)
+This function returns a color darker than \c baseColor by the \c factor provided.
+
+If the factor is greater than 1.0, this function returns a darker color.
+Setting factor to 3.0 returns a color that has one-third the brightness.
+If the factor is less than 1.0, the return color is lighter, but we recommend using
+the Qt.lighter() function for this purpose. If the factor is 0 or negative, the return
+value is unspecified.
+
+The function converts the current RGB color to HSV, divides the value (V) component
+by factor and converts the color back to RGB.
+
+If \c factor is not supplied, returns a color 50% darker than \c baseColor (factor 2.0).

@@ -211,87 +237,61 @@ The following functions on the global object allow you to dynamically create QML
items from files or strings. See \l{Dynamic Object Management} for an overview
of their use.
-\section2 createComponent(url file)
- This function takes the URL of a QML file as its only argument. It returns
- a component object which can be used to create and load that QML file.
-
- Example QML script is below. Remember that QML files that might be loaded
- over the network cannot be expected to be ready immediately.
- \code
- var component;
- var sprite;
- function finishCreation(){
- if(component.isReady()){
- sprite = component.createObject();
- if(sprite == null){
- // Error Handling
- }else{
- sprite.parent = page;
- sprite.x = 200;
- //...
- }
- }else if(component.isError()){
- // Error Handling
- }
- }
-
- component = createComponent("Sprite.qml");
- if(component.isReady()){
- finishCreation();
- }else{
- component.statusChanged.connect(finishCreation);
- }
- \endcode
-
- If you are certain the files will be local, you could simplify to
-
- \code
- component = createComponent("Sprite.qml");
- sprite = component.createObject();
- if(sprite == null){
- // Error Handling
- console.log(component.errorsString());
- }else{
- sprite.parent = page;
- sprite.x = 200;
- //...
- }
- \endcode
-
- The methods and properties of the Component element are defined in its own
- page, but when using it dynamically only two methods are usually used.
- Component.createObject() returns the created object or null if there is an error.
- If there is an error, Component.errorsString() describes what the error was.
-
- If you want to just create an arbitrary string of QML, instead of
- loading a QML file, consider the createQmlObject() function.
-
-\section2 createQmlObject(string qml, object parent, string filepath)
- Creates a new object from the specified string of QML. It requires a
- second argument, which is the id of an existing QML object to use as
- the new object's parent. If a third argument is provided, this is used
- for error reporting as the filepath that the QML came from.
-
- Example (where targetItem is the id of an existing QML item):
- \code
- newObject = createQmlObject('import Qt 4.7; Rectangle {color: "red"; width: 20; height: 20}',
- targetItem, "dynamicSnippet1");
- \endcode
-
- This function is intended for use inside QML only. It is intended to behave
- similarly to eval, but for creating QML elements.
-
- Returns the created object, or null if there is an error. In the case of an
- error, a QtScript Error object is thrown. This object has the additional property,
- qmlErrors, which is an array of all the errors encountered when trying to execute the
- QML. Each object in the array has the members: lineNumber, columnNumber, fileName and message.
-
- Note that this function returns immediately, and therefore may not work if
- the QML loads new components. If you are trying to load a new component,
- for example from a QML file, consider the createComponent() function
- instead. 'New components' refers to external QML files that have not yet
- been loaded, and so it is safe to use createQmlObject to load built-in
- components.

+\section2 Qt.createComponent(url file)
+
+This function takes the URL of a QML file as its only argument. It returns
+a component object which can be used to create and load that QML file.

+Here is an example. Remember that QML files that might be loaded

+If there is an error, \l {Component::errorsString()}{Component.errorsString()} describes
+the error that occurred. Note that createObject() takes exactly one argument, which is set
+to the parent of the created object. Graphical objects without a parent will not appear
+on the scene, but if you do not wish to parent the item at this point you can safely pass
+in null.
+
+If you want to just create an arbitrary string of QML, instead of
