Detailed Description

A grouped map of multiple QgsProperty objects, each referenced by a integer key value.

Properties within a collection are referenced by an integer key. This is done to avoid the cost of string creation and comparisons which would be required by a string key. The intended use case is that a context specific enum is cast to int and used for the key value. Examples of such enums are :
