\title{ Abstraction of the results of a QA process }

\description{ QA processes create graphical output which can be bundled
  in a single HTML document. This class stores all information that is
  needed by \code{\link[flowQ]{writeQAReport}} to produce such HTML reports.}

\section{Objects from the Class}{ Objects should be created using the
  constructor functions. See \code{\link[flowQ]{qaProcess.timeline}} and
  \code{\link[flowQ]{qaProcess.marginevents}} for details. When writing new QA
  process functions, the constructors
  \code{\link[flowQ:qaProcessFrame-class]{qaProcessFrame}} and 
  \code{qaProcess} should be used. The latter expects the mandatory
  arguments \code{id}, \code{type} and \code{frameProcesses} and also
  accepts the optional arguments \code{name} and \code{summaryGraph}.
  See the vignette of this package for details.}

      graphical summary of the processe's outcome }

      detailed information for each
