<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The PathAttribute object allows attributes consisting of a name and a value to be specified for various points along a path. The attributes are exposed to the delegate as <a href="qdeclarativeintroduction.html#attached-properties">Attached Properties</a>. The value of an attribute at any particular point along the path is interpolated from the PathAttributes bounding that point.</p>
<p>The example below shows a path with the items scaled to 30% with opacity 50% at the top of the path and scaled 100% with opacity 100% at the bottom. Note the use of the <a href="qml-pathview.html">PathView</a>.iconScale and <a href="qml-pathview.html">PathView</a>.iconOpacity attached properties to set the scale and opacity of the delegate.</p>

<p>The value specified can be used to influence the visual appearance of an item along the path. For example, the following Path specifies an attribute named <i>itemRotation</i>, which has the value <i>0</i> at the beginning of the path, and the value 90 at the end of the path.</p>
<pre class="qml"> <span class="type"><a href="qml-path.html">Path</a></span> {

}</pre>
<p>In our delegate, we can then bind the <i>rotation</i> property to the <a href="qdeclarativeintroduction.html#attached-properties">Attached Property</a> <i>PathView.itemRotation</i> created for this attribute.</p>
<pre class="qml"> <span class="type"><a href="qml-rectangle.html">Rectangle</a></span> {

<span class="name">rotation</span>: <span class="name">PathView</span>.<span class="name">itemRotation</span>
}</pre>
<p>As each item is positioned along the path, it will be rotated accordingly: an item at the beginning of the path with be not be rotated, an item at the end of the path will be rotated 90 degrees, and an item mid-way along the path will be rotated 45 degrees.</p>
