I can second that. I've never seen a better documentation.

IMHO this is one of the example where the description is not necessary. I mean 
the height of an image object is somehow self-explanatory.
What I would be more interested in is something like the module/key-technology 
documentation of Qt4. 

If for example i want to use the Qt4 model/view framework and i have never 
used it before, i simply go to the "Model/View Programming" page available on 
the documentations main page under section "Key technologies" and after 
reading that i know about:

- the model/view concept (even if i never header of that before)
- the classes involved
- the relations between the involved classes
- several (documented) examples

The page is here:
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.1/model-view-programming.html

BTW: It's called Qt - QT stands for Quicktime (reminds me of some other name 
similarities ;)
