+ \class QPair qpair.h
+ \brief The QPair class is a value-based template class that provides a pair of elements.
+
+ \ingroup qtl
+ \ingroup tools
+ \ingroup shared
+
+ QPair is a Qt implementation of an STL-like pair. It can be used
+ in your application if the standard pair\<\> is not available on
+ your target platforms.
+
+ QPair\<T1, T2\> defines a template instance to create a pair of
+ values that contains two values of type T1 and T2. Please note
+ that QPair does not store pointers to the two elements; it holds a
+ copy of every member. This is why these kinds of classes are
+ called \e{value based}. If you're interested in \e{pointer based}
+ classes see, for example, QPtrList and QDict.
+
+ QPair holds one copy of type T1 and one copy of type T2, but does
+ not provide iterators to access these elements. Instead, the two
+ elements (\c first and \c second) are public member variables of
+ the pair. QPair owns the contained elements. For more relaxed
+ ownership semantics, see QPtrCollection and friends which are
+ pointer-based containers.
+
+ Some classes cannot be used within a QPair: for example, all
+ classes derived from QObject and thus all classes that implement
+ widgets. Only "values" can be used in a QPair. To qualify as a
+ value the class must provide:
+
+ \list
+ \i A copy constructor
+ \i An assignment operator
+ \i A constructor that takes no arguments
+ \endlist
+
+ Note that C++ defaults to field-by-field assignment operators and
+ copy constructors if no explicit version is supplied. In many
+ cases this is sufficient.
+
+ QPair uses an STL-like syntax to manipulate and address the
+ objects it contains. See the \link qtl.html QTL
+ documentation\endlink for more information.
+
+ Functions that need to return two values can use a QPair.
