"""This is the Advanced Generic Widgets package (AGW).

It provides many custom-drawn wxPython controls:
some of them can be used as a replacement of the platform native controls,
others are simply an addition to the already rich wxPython widgets set.


Description:

AGW contains many different modules, listed below.
Items labelled with an asterisk were already present in :mod:`lib` before:

- AdvancedSplash: reproduces the behaviour of :class:`~adv.SplashScreen`,
  with more advanced features like custom shapes and text animations;
- AquaButton: this is another custom-drawn button class which *approximately* mimics the
  behaviour of Aqua buttons on the Mac;
- AUI: a pure-Python implementation of :mod:`~wx.lib.agw.aui`,
  with many bug fixes and new features like HUD docking and
  :class:`~wx.lib.agw.aui.auibookAuiNotebook` tab arts;
- BalloonTip: allows you to display tooltips in a balloon style window
  (actually a frame), similarly to the Windows XP balloon help;
- ButtonPanel (*): a panel with gradient background shading with the possibility to add
  buttons and controls still respecting the gradient background;
- CubeColourDialog: an alternative implementation of :class:`wx.ColourDialog`,
  it offers different functionalities like colour wheel and RGB cube;
- CustomTreeCtrl (*): mimics the behaviour of :class:`TreeCtrl`,
  with almost the same base functionalities plus a bunch of enhancements and goodies;
- FlatMenu: as the name implies, it is a generic menu implementation,
  offering the same :class:`wx.MenuBar` / :class:`wx.Menu` / :class:`ToolBar`
  capabilities and much more;
- FlatNotebook (*): a full implementation of the :class:`Notebook`, and designed to be a
  drop-in replacement for :class:`Notebook` with enhanced capabilities;
- FloatSpin: this class implements a floating point spinctrl,
  cabable (in theory) of handling infinite-precision floating point numbers;
- FoldPanelBar (*): a control that contains multiple panels that can be expanded or
  collapsed a la Windows Explorer/Outlook command bars;
- FourWaySplitter: this is a layout manager which manages four children like four panes
  in a window, similar to many CAD software interfaces;
- GenericMessageDialog: it is a possible replacement for the standard
  :class:`MessageDialog`, with a fancier look and extended functionalities;
- GradientButton: another custom-drawn button class which mimics Windows CE mobile
  gradient buttons, using a tri-vertex blended gradient background;
- HyperLinkCtrl (*): this widget acts line an hyper link in a typical browser;
- HyperTreeList: a class that mimics the behaviour of :class:`wx.adv.TreeListCtrl`,
  with almost the same base functionalities plus some more enhancements;
- InfoBar: a transient window shown at top or bottom of its parent window to display
  non-critical information to the user;
- KnobCtrl: a widget which lets the user select a numerical value by rotating it,
  like a slider with a wheel shape;
- LabelBook and FlatImageBook: these are a quasi-full implementations of
  :class:`Listbook`, with additional features;
- MultiDirDialog: it represents a possible replacement for :class:`DirDialog`,
  with the additional ability of selecting multiple folders at once and a fancier look;
- PeakMeter: this widget mimics the behaviour of LED equalizers that are usually found
  in stereos and MP3 players;
- PersistentControls: widgets which automatically save their state when they are
  destroyed and restore it when they are recreated,
  even during another program invocation;
- PieCtrl and ProgressPie: these are simple classes that reproduce the behavior of a pie
  chart, in a static or progress-gauge-like way;
- PyBusyInfo: constructs a busy info window and displays a message in it:
  it is similar to :class:`BusyInfo`;
- PyCollapsiblePane: a pure Python implementation of the original wxWidgets C++ code of
  :class:`CollapsiblePane`, with customizable buttons;
- PyGauge: a generic :class:`Gauge` implementation,
  it supports the determinate mode functions as :class:`Gauge`;
- PyProgress: it is similar to :class:`ProgressDialog` in indeterminated mode,
  but with a different gauge appearance and a different spinning behavior;
- RibbonBar: the RibbonBar library is a set of classes for writing a ribbon user
  interface,
  similar to the user interface present in recent versions of Microsoft Office;
- RulerCtrl: it implements a ruler window that can be placed on top, bottom,
  left or right to any wxPython widget.
  It is somewhat similar to the rulers you can find in text editors software;
- ShapedButton: this class tries to fill the lack of "custom shaped" controls in
  wxPython. It can be used to build round buttons or elliptic buttons;
- ShortcutEditor: a widget that allows the user to customize and change keyboard
  shortcuts via a dialog;
- SpeedMeter: this widget tries to reproduce the behavior of some car controls
  (but not only), by creating an "angular" control;
- SuperToolTip: a class that mimics the behaviour of :class:`TipWindow` and generic
  tooltips, with many features and highly customizable;
- ThumbnailCtrl: a widget that can be used to display a series of images in a
  "thumbnail" format; it mimics, for example,
  the Windows Explorer behavior when you select the "view thumbnails" option;
- ToasterBox: a cross-platform widget to make the creation of MSN-style "toaster" popups
  easier;
- UltimateListCtrl: mimics the behaviour of :class:`ListCtrl`,
  with almost the same base functionalities plus some more enhancements;
- XLSGrid: a class based on :class:`grid.Grid` that can be used to faithfully reproduce
  the appearance of a Microsoft Excel spreadsheets;
- ZoomBar: a class that *appoximatively* mimics the behaviour of the Mac Dock,
  inside a :class:`Panel`.


Bugs and Limitations: many, patches and fixes welcome :-D
