"A wx.DataFormat is an encapsulation of a platform-specific format
handle which is used by the system for the clipboard and drag and drop
operations. The applications are usually only interested in, for
example, pasting data from the clipboard only if the data is in a
format the program understands.  A data format is is used to uniquely
identify this format.",
"
On the system level, a data format is usually just a number, (which
may be the CLIPFORMAT under Windows or Atom under X11, for example.)

The standard format IDs are:

    ================    =====================================
    wx.DF_INVALID       An invalid format
    wx.DF_TEXT          Text format
    wx.DF_BITMAP        A bitmap (wx.Bitmap)
    wx.DF_METAFILE      A metafile (wx.Metafile, Windows only)
    wx.DF_FILENAME      A list of filenames
    wx.DF_HTML          An HTML string. This is only valid on
                        Windows and non-unicode builds
    ================    =====================================

Besies the standard formats, the application may also use custom
formats which are identified by their names (strings) and not numeric
identifiers. Although internally custom format must be created (or
registered) first, you shouldn\'t care about it because it is done
automatically the first time the wxDataFormat object corresponding to
a given format name is created.

DocStr(wxDataObject,
"A wx.DataObject represents data that can be copied to or from the
clipboard, or dragged and dropped. The important thing about
wx.DataObject is that this is a 'smart' piece of data unlike usual
'dumb' data containers such as memory buffers or files. Being 'smart'
here means that the data object itself should know what data formats
it supports and how to render itself in each of supported formats.

**NOTE**: This class is an abstract base class and can not be used
directly from Python.  If you need a custom type of data object then
you should instead derive from `wx.PyDataObjectSimple` or use
`wx.CustomDataObject`.
", "
Not surprisingly, being 'smart' comes at a price of added
complexity. This is reasonable for the situations when you really need
to support multiple formats, but may be annoying if you only want to
do something simple like cut and paste text.

To provide a solution for both cases, wxWidgets has two predefined
classes which derive from wx.DataObject: `wx.DataObjectSimple` and
`wx.DataObjectComposite`.  `wx.DataObjectSimple` is the simplest
wx.DataObject possible and only holds data in a single format (such as
text or bitmap) and `wx.DataObjectComposite` is the simplest way to
implement a wx.DataObject which supports multiple simultaneous formats
because it achievs this by simply holding several
`wx.DataObjectSimple` objects.

Please note that the easiest way to use drag and drop and the
clipboard with multiple formats is by using `wx.DataObjectComposite`,
but it is not the most efficient one as each `wx.DataObjectSimple`
would contain the whole data in its respective formats. Now imagine
that you want to paste 200 pages of text in your proprietary format,
as well as Word, RTF, HTML, Unicode and plain text to the clipboard
and even today's computers are in trouble. For this case, you will
have to derive from wx.DataObject directly and make it enumerate its
formats and provide the data in the requested format on
demand. (**TODO**: This is currently not possible from Python.  Make
it so.)

Note that the platform transfer mechanisms for the clipboard and drag
and drop, do not copy any data out of the source application until
another application actually requests the data. This is in contrast to
the 'feel' offered to the user of a program who would normally think
that the data resides in the clipboard after having pressed 'Copy' -
in reality it is only declared to be available.
");

// [other docs...]
// There are several predefined data object classes derived from
// wxDataObjectSimple: wxFileDataObject, wxTextDataObject and
// wxBitmapDataObject which can be used without change.

// You may also derive your own data object classes from
// wxCustomDataObject for user-defined types. The format of user-defined
// data is given as mime-type string literal, such as 'application/word'
// or 'image/png'. These strings are used as they are under Unix (so far
// only GTK) to identify a format and are translated into their Windows
// equivalent under Win32 (using the OLE IDataObject for data exchange to
// and from the clipboard and for drag and drop). Note that the format
// string translation under Windows is not yet finished.
