/><hr /><h2>Detailed Description</h2><p>The QAbstractItemModel class provides the abstract interface for
item model classes.</p>
<p>The QAbstractItemModel class defines the standard interface that
item models must use to be able to interoperate with other
components in the model/view architecture. It is not supposed to be
instantiated directly. Instead, you should subclass it to create
new models.</p>
<p>The QAbstractItemModel class is one of the <a href="model-view.html">Model/View Classes</a> and is part of Qt's
<a href="model-view-programming.html">model/view framework</a>.</p>
<p>If you need a model to use with a <a href="qlistview.html">QListView</a> or a <a href="qtableview.html">QTableView</a>, you should consider subclassing
<a href="qabstractlistmodel.html">QAbstractListModel</a> or
<a href="qabstracttablemodel.html">QAbstractTableModel</a> instead
of this class.</p>
<p>The underlying data model is exposed to views and delegates as a
hierarchy of tables. If you do not make use of the hierarchy, then
the model is a simple table of rows and columns. Each item has a
unique index specified by a <a href="qmodelindex.html">QModelIndex</a>.</p>
<p class="centerAlign"><img alt="" src="images/modelindex-no-parent.png" /></p>
<p>Every item of data that can be accessed via a model has an
associated model index. You can obtain this model index using the
<a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#index">index</a>() function. Each
index may have a <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#sibling">sibling</a>() index; child items
have a <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#parent">parent</a>()
index.</p>
<p>Each item has a number of data elements associated with it and
they can be retrieved by specifying a role (see <a href="qt.html#ItemDataRole-enum">Qt.ItemDataRole</a>) to the model's
<a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#data">data</a>() function. Data
for all available roles can be obtained at the same time using the
<a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#itemData">itemData</a>()
function.</p>
<p>Data for each role is set using a particular <a href="qt.html#ItemDataRole-enum">Qt.ItemDataRole</a>. Data for
individual roles are set individually with <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#setData">setData</a>(), or they can be set
for all roles with <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#setItemData">setItemData</a>().</p>
<p>Items can be queried with <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#flags">flags</a>() (see <a href="qt.html#ItemFlag-enum">Qt.ItemFlag</a>) to see if they can be
selected, dragged, or manipulated in other ways.</p>
<p>If an item has child objects, <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#hasChildren">hasChildren</a>() returns
true for the corresponding index.</p>
<p>The model has a <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#rowCount">rowCount</a>() and a <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#columnCount">columnCount</a>() for each
level of the hierarchy. Rows and columns can be inserted and
removed with <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#insertRows">insertRows</a>(), <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#insertColumns">insertColumns</a>(),
<a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#removeRows">removeRows</a>(), and
<a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#removeColumns">removeColumns</a>().</p>
<p>The model emits signals to indicate changes. For example,
<a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#dataChanged">dataChanged</a>() is
emitted whenever items of data made available by the model are
changed. Changes to the headers supplied by the model cause
<a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#headerDataChanged">headerDataChanged</a>()
to be emitted. If the structure of the underlying data changes, the
model can emit <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#layoutChanged">layoutChanged</a>() to
indicate to any attached views that they should redisplay any items
shown, taking the new structure into account.</p>
<p>The items available through the model can be searched for
particular data using the <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#match">match</a>() function.</p>
<p>To sort the model, you can use <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#sort">sort</a>().</p>
<a id="subclassing" name="subclassing" />
<h3>Subclassing</h3>
<p><b>Note:</b> Some general guidelines for subclassing models are
available in the <a href="model-view-programming.html#model-subclassing-reference">Model
Subclassing Reference</a>.</p>
<p>When subclassing QAbstractItemModel, at the very least you must
implement <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#index">index</a>(),
<a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#parent">parent</a>(), <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#rowCount">rowCount</a>(), <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#columnCount">columnCount</a>(), and
<a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#data">data</a>(). These functions
are used in all read-only models, and form the basis of editable
models.</p>
<p>You can also reimplement <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#hasChildren">hasChildren</a>() to provide
special behavior for models where the implementation of <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#rowCount">rowCount</a>() is expensive.
This makes it possible for models to restrict the amount of data
requested by views, and can be used as a way to implement lazy
population of model data.</p>
<p>To enable editing in your model, you must also implement
<a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#setData">setData</a>(), and
reimplement <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#flags">flags</a>() to
ensure that <tt>ItemIsEditable</tt> is returned. You can also
reimplement <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#headerData">headerData</a>() and <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#setHeaderData">setHeaderData</a>() to
control the way the headers for your model are presented.</p>
<p>The <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#dataChanged">dataChanged</a>() and
<a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#headerDataChanged">headerDataChanged</a>()
signals must be emitted explicitly when reimplementing the <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#setData">setData</a>() and <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#setHeaderData">setHeaderData</a>()
functions, respectively.</p>
<p>Custom models need to create model indexes for other components
to use. To do this, call <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#createIndex">createIndex</a>() with
suitable row and column numbers for the item, and an identifier for
it, either as a pointer or as an integer value. The combination of
these values must be unique for each item. Custom models typically
use these unique identifiers in other reimplemented functions to
retrieve item data and access information about the item's parents
and children. See the <a href="itemviews-simpletreemodel.html">Simple Tree Model Example</a> for
more information about unique identifiers.</p>
<p>It is not necessary to support every role defined in <a href="qt.html#ItemDataRole-enum">Qt.ItemDataRole</a>. Depending on the
type of data contained within a model, it may only be useful to
implement the <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#data">data</a>()
function to return valid information for some of the more common
roles. Most models provide at least a textual representation of
item data for the <a href="qt.html#ItemDataRole-enum">Qt.DisplayRole</a>, and well-behaved
models should also provide valid information for the <a href="qt.html#ItemDataRole-enum">Qt.ToolTipRole</a> and <a href="qt.html#ItemDataRole-enum">Qt.WhatsThisRole</a>. Supporting these
roles enables models to be used with standard Qt views. However,
for some models that handle highly-specialized data, it may be
appropriate to provide data only for user-defined roles.</p>
<p>Models that provide interfaces to resizable data structures can
provide implementations of <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#insertRows">insertRows</a>(), <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#removeRows">removeRows</a>(), <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#insertColumns">insertColumns</a>(),and
<a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#removeColumns">removeColumns</a>(). When
implementing these functions, it is important to notify any
connected views about changes to the model's dimensions both
<i>before</i> and <i>after</i> they occur:</p>
<ul>
<li>An <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#insertRows">insertRows</a>()
implementation must call <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#beginInsertRows">beginInsertRows</a>()
<i>before</i> inserting new rows into the data structure, and
<a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#endInsertRows">endInsertRows</a>()
<i>immediately afterwards</i>.</li>
<li>An <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#insertColumns">insertColumns</a>()
implementation must call <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#beginInsertColumns">beginInsertColumns</a>()
<i>before</i> inserting new columns into the data structure, and
<a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#endInsertColumns">endInsertColumns</a>()
<i>immediately afterwards</i>.</li>
<li>A <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#removeRows">removeRows</a>()
implementation must call <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#beginRemoveRows">beginRemoveRows</a>()
<i>before</i> the rows are removed from the data structure, and
<a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#endRemoveRows">endRemoveRows</a>()
<i>immediately afterwards</i>.</li>
<li>A <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#removeColumns">removeColumns</a>()
implementation must call <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#beginRemoveColumns">beginRemoveColumns</a>()
<i>before</i> the columns are removed from the data structure, and
<a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#endRemoveColumns">endRemoveColumns</a>()
<i>immediately afterwards</i>.</li>
</ul>
<p>The <i>private</i> signals that these functions emit give
attached components the chance to take action before any data
becomes unavailable. The encapsulation of the insert and remove
operations with these begin and end functions also enables the
model to manage <a href="qpersistentmodelindex.html">persistent
model indexes</a> correctly. <b>If you want selections to be
handled properly, you must ensure that you call these
functions.</b> If you insert or remove an item with children, you
do not need to call these functions for the child items. In other
words, the parent item will take care of its child items.</p>
<p>To create models that populate incrementally, you can
reimplement <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#fetchMore">fetchMore</a>() and <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#canFetchMore">canFetchMore</a>(). If the
reimplementation of <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#fetchMore">fetchMore</a>() adds rows to
the model, <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#beginInsertRows">beginInsertRows()</a> and
<a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#endInsertRows">endInsertRows()</a>
must be called.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="beginInsertColumns" />QAbstractItemModel.beginInsertColumns (<i>self</i>, <a href="qmodelindex.html">QModelIndex</a> <i>parent</i>, int <i>first</i>, int <i>last</i>)</h3><p>Begins a column insertion operation.</p>
<p>When reimplementing <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#insertColumns">insertColumns</a>() in a
subclass, you must call this function <i>before</i> inserting data
into the model's underlying data store.</p>
<p>The <i>parent</i> index corresponds to the parent into which the
new columns are inserted; <i>first</i> and <i>last</i> are the
column numbers of the new columns will have after they have been
inserted.</p>
<table class="generic" width="80%">
<tr class="odd" valign="top">
<td><img alt="Inserting columns" src="images/modelview-begin-insert-columns.png" /></td>
<td>Specify the first and last column numbers for the span of
columns you want to insert into an item in a model.
<p>For example, as shown in the diagram, we insert three columns
before column 4, so <i>first</i> is 4 and <i>last</i> is 6:</p>
<pre class="cpp">
beginInsertColumns(parent<span class="operator">,</span> <span class="number">4</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="number">6</span>);
</pre>
<p>This inserts the three new columns as columns 4, 5, and 6.</p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr class="even" valign="top">
<td><img alt="Appending columns" src="images/modelview-begin-append-columns.png" /></td>
<td>To append columns, insert them after the last column.
<p>For example, as shown in the diagram, we append three columns to
a collection of six existing columns (ending in column 5), so
<i>first</i> is 6 and <i>last</i> is 8:</p>
<pre class="cpp">
beginInsertColumns(parent<span class="operator">,</span> <span class="number">6</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="number">8</span>);
</pre>
<p>This appends the two new columns as columns 6, 7, and 8.</p>
</td>
</tr>
