## Detailed Description

The Package class is used in conjunction with VisualDataModel to enable delegates with a shared context to be provided to multiple views.

Any item within a Package may be assigned a name via the Package.name attached property.

The example below creates a Package containing two named items; list and grid. The third item in the package (the Rectangle) is parented to whichever delegate it should appear in. This allows an item to move between views.

    Package {
        Text { id: listDelegate; width: parent.width; height: 25; text: 'Empty'; Package.name: 'list' }
        Text { id: gridDelegate; width: parent.width / 2; height: 50; text: 'Empty'; Package.name: 'grid' }

        Rectangle {
            id: wrapper
            width: parent.width; height: 25
            color: 'lightsteelblue'

            Text { text: display; anchors.centerIn: parent }
            state: root.upTo > index ? 'inGrid' : 'inList'
            states: [
                State {
                    name: 'inList'
                    ParentChange { target: wrapper; parent: listDelegate }
                },
                State {
                    name: 'inGrid'
                    ParentChange {
                        target: wrapper; parent: gridDelegate
                        x: 0; y: 0; width: gridDelegate.width; height: gridDelegate.height
                    }
                }
            ]

            transitions: [
                Transition {
                    ParentAnimation {
                        NumberAnimation { properties: 'x,y,width,height'; duration: 300 }
                    }
                }
            ]
        }
    }

These named items are used as the delegates by the two views who reference the special VisualDataModel::parts property to select a model which provides the chosen delegate.

    DelegateModel {
        id: visualModel
        delegate: Delegate {}
        model: myModel
    }

    ListView {
        id: lv
        height: parent.height/2
        width: parent.width

        model: visualModel.parts.list
    }
    GridView {
        y: parent.height/2
        height: parent.height/2
        width: parent.width
        cellWidth: width / 2
        cellHeight: 50
        model: visualModel.parts.grid
    }
