+ \class Q3PtrDict
+ \brief The Q3PtrDict class is a template class that provides a dictionary based on void* keys.
+ \compat
+
+ Q3PtrDict is implemented as a template class. Define a template
+ instance Q3PtrDict\<X\> to create a dictionary that operates on
+ pointers to X (X*).
+
+ A dictionary is a collection of key-value pairs. The key is a
+ void* used for insertion, removal and lookup. The value is a
+ pointer. Dictionaries provide very fast insertion and lookup.
+
+ Example:
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_q3ptrdict.qdoc 0
+ In this example we use a dictionary to add an extra property (a
+ char*) to the line edits we're using.
+
+ See Q3Dict for full details, including the choice of dictionary
+ size, and how deletions are handled.
