## Detailed Description

TabView provides tab-based navigation model for your application. For example, the following snippet uses tabs to present rectangles of different color on each tab page:

      TabView {
          Tab {
              title: "Red"
              Rectangle { color: "red" }
          }
          Tab {
              title: "Blue"
              Rectangle { color: "blue" }
          }
          Tab {
              title: "Green"
              Rectangle { color: "green" }
          }
      }

Note: You can create a custom appearance for a TabView by assigning a TabViewStyle.

Tab represents the content of a tab in a TabView.
