Type Based Canvas Example

This example demonstrates how to use different QtAbstractPropertyManager subclasses for different property types. Using this approach, the developer interfaces with a type-safe API (since each manager has its own property-type specific API).

The example presents a canvas filled up with items of different types, and a tree property browser which displays the currently selected item's properties.

All item types has a few common properties like "Position X", "Position Y" or "Position Z", but each type also adds its own type-specific properties (e.g. the text items provide "Text" and "Font" properties, and the line items provide a "Vector" property).

The source files can be found in examples/canvas_typed directory of the package.
