## Detailed Description

A QWidget which views a QCanvas.

Displays a view of a QCanvas, with scrollbars available if desired. There can be more than one view of a canvas.

The view of a canvas is the object which the user can see and interact with, hence any interactivity will be based on events from a view. For example, by subclassing QCanvasView and overriding QScrollView::contentsMousePressEvent(), an application can provide a canvas where the user can interact with items on the canvas.

      void MyCanvasView::contentsMousePressEvent(QMouseEvent* e)
      {
          QCanvasItemList list = canvas()->collisions(e->pos());
          if ( !list.isEmpty() ) {
              QCanvasItem* item = list.first();

              // Process the top item
              ...
          }
      }

Most of the functionality of QCanvasView is the functionality available for all QScrollView subclasses.
