The documentation for the RelationFlag enum was not very clear on what
was the "first" and "second" object.
And the fact that the AT-SPI backend (which these enum values originates
from) inverses "first" and "second" makes it harder to understand what
how it all fits together.
So when (with this change) Qt documents 'QAccessible::Labelled' as
"The returned object is labelled by the origin object"
AT-SPI documents ATSPI_RELATION_LABELLED_BY as:
"The origin object is labelled by the returned object"
(Documentation for AT-SPI is rewritten so that it shares the same
terminology)
Notice that the two objects are exchanged, which means that even if they
use the same 'Labelled' relation, the semantic gets 'inversed'.
This is already the case today, so we cannot change it. Therefore, to be
clear, the relation mapping will remain to be like this:
Qt Relation | Maps to AT-SPI | Qt explanation
----------------+-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Label | ATSPI_RELATION_LABELLED_BY | The returned object is a Label for the origin object
Labelled | ATSPI_RELATION_LABEL_FOR | The returned object is Labelled by the origin object
Controller | ATSPI_RELATION_CONTROLLED_BY | The returned object is the Controller for the origin object
Controlled | ATSPI_RELATION_CONTROLLER_FOR | The returned object is Controlled by the origin object
This mapping can already be seen in qAccessibleRelationToAtSpiRelation()
For the record, these future relations should then be mapped to like
this:
Qt Relation | Maps to AT-SPI | Qt explanation
----------------+-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Described | ATSPI_RELATION_DESCRIPTION_FOR| The returned object is described by the origin object
DescriptionFor | ATSPI_RELATION_DESCRIBED_BY | The returned object provides a description for the origin object
FlowsTo | ATSPI_RELATION_FLOWS_FROM | The returned object has content which flows logically to the origin object
FlowsFrom | ATSPI_RELATION_FLOWS_TO | The returned object has content which flows logically from the origin object
