+ \example tools/contiguouscache
+ \title Contiguous Cache Example
+
+ The Contiguous Cache example shows how to use QContiguousCache to manage memory usage for
+ very large models. In some environments memory is limited and, even when it
+ isn't, users still dislike an application using excessive memory.
+ Using QContiguousCache to manage a list, rather than loading
+ the entire list into memory, allows the application to limit the amount
+ of memory it uses, regardless of the size of the data set it accesses
+
+ The simplest way to use QContiguousCache is to cache as items are requested. When
+ a view requests an item at row N it is also likely to ask for items at rows near
+ to N.
+
+ \snippet examples/tools/contiguouscache/randomlistmodel.cpp 0
+
+ After getting the row, the class determines if the row is in the bounds
+ of the contiguous cache's current range. It would have been equally valid to
+ simply have the following code instead.
+
+ \code
+ while (row > m_rows.lastIndex())
+ m_rows.append(fetchWord(m_rows.lastIndex()+1);
+ while (row < m_rows.firstIndex())
+ m_rows.prepend(fetchWord(m_rows.firstIndex()-1);
+ \endcode
+
+ However a list will often jump rows if the scroll bar is used directly, resulting in
+ the code above causing every row between the old and new rows to be fetched.
+
+ Using QContiguousCache::lastIndex() and QContiguousCache::firstIndex() allows
+ the example to determine what part of the list the cache is currently caching.
+ These values don't represent the indexes into the cache's own memory, but rather
+ a virtual infinite array that the cache represents.
+
+ By using QContiguousCache::append() and QContiguousCache::prepend() the code ensures
+ that items that may be still on the screen are not lost when the requested row
+ has not moved far from the current cache range. QContiguousCache::insert() can
+ potentially remove more than one item from the cache as QContiguousCache does not
+ allow for gaps. If your cache needs to quickly jump back and forth between
+ rows with significant gaps between them consider using QCache instead.
+
+ And thats it. A perfectly reasonable cache, using minimal memory for a very large
+ list. In this case the accessor for getting the words into the cache
+ generates random information rather than fixed information. This allows you
+ to see how the cache range is kept for a local number of rows when running the
+ example.
+
+ \snippet examples/tools/contiguouscache/randomlistmodel.cpp 1
+
+ It is also worth considering pre-fetching items into the cache outside of the
+ application's paint routine. This can be done either with a separate thread
+ or using a QTimer to incrementally expand the range of the cache prior to
+ rows being requested out of the current cache range.
