## Detailed Description

The ProgressIndicator class shows an circular, endlessly animated progress indicator.

Use it if you want to indicate that some work is being done, but you do not have the detailed progress information needed for a progress bar. You can either create the widget on demand, or create the widget once and only show it on demand. The animation only runs while the widget is visible.

## Member Function Documentation
