That documentation requires that you have read the documentation of the Qt 
Graphics View Framework:

  http://doc.qt.digia.com/latest/graphicsview.html

and you should also know about Qt. The CGAL manual does not even try to be a 
tutorial for making Qt demos. You should learn Qt using the Qt manual and Qt 
tutorials. For examples, Qt Graphics View examples:
