+ \class QPair
+ \brief The QPair class is a template class that stores a pair of items.
+
+ \ingroup tools
+
+ QPair\<T1, T2\> can be used in your application if the STL \c
+ pair type is not available. It stores one value of type T1 and
+ one value of type T2. It can be used as a return value for a
+ function that needs to return two values, or as the value type of
+ a \l{generic container}.
+
+ Here's an example of a QPair that stores one QString and one \c
+ double value:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qpair.qdoc 0
+
+ The components are accessible as public data members called \l
+ first and \l second. For example:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qpair.qdoc 1
+
+ QPair's template data types (T1 and T2) must be \l{assignable
+ data types}. You cannot, for example, store a QWidget as a value;
+ instead, store a QWidget *. A few functions have additional
+ requirements; these requirements are documented on a per-function
+ basis.
