However, when +large quantities of data are involved, it is often better to use models with +the standard views since these contain many built-in display and navigation +features. + +\section1 Views + +Views are scrolling containers for collections of items. They are feature-rich, +supporting many of the use cases found in typical applications, and can be +customized to meet requirements on style and behavior. + +A set of standard views are provided in the basic set of Qt Quick +graphical elements: + +\list +\o \l{#ListView}{ListView} arranges items in a horizontal or vertical list +\o \l{#GridView}{GridView} arranges items in a grid within the available space +\o \l{#PathView}{PathView} arranges items on a path +\endlist + +Unlike these items, \l WebView is not a fully-featured view item, and needs +to be combined with a \l Flickable item to create a view that performs like +a Web browser. + +\section2 ListView + +\l ListView shows a classic list of items with horizontal or vertical placing +of items. + +\beginfloatright +\inlineimage qml-listview-snippet.png +\endfloat + +The following example shows a minimal ListView displaying a sequence of +numbers (using an \l{QML Data Models#An Integer}{integer as a model}). +A simple delegate is used to define an items for each piece of data in the +model. + +\clearfloat +\snippet doc/src/snippets/declarative/listview/listview-snippet.qml document + + + +\section2 GridView + +\l GridView displays items in a grid like an file manager's icon view. + +\section2 PathView + +\l PathView displays items on a path, where the selection remains in +the same place and the items move around it. + +\section1 Decorating Views + +\section2 Headers and Footers + +\section2 Sections + +\section2 Navigation + +In traditional user interfaces, views can be scrolled using standard +controls, such as scroll bars and arrow buttons.
