38 overview = """
39 The Editor class implements a simple text editor using wxPython. You
40 can create a custom editor by subclassing Editor. Even though much of
41 the editor is implemented in Python, it runs surprisingly smoothly on
42 normal hardware with small files.
43
44 How to use it
45 -------------
46 The demo code (demo/Editor.py) shows how to use Editor as a simple text
47 box. Use the SetText() and GetText() methods to set or get text from
48 the component; these both use a list of strings.
49
50 The samples/FrogEdit directory has an example of a simple text editor
51 application that uses the Editor component.
52
53 Subclassing
54 -----------
55 To add or change functionality, you can subclass this
56 component. One example of this might be to change the key
57 Alt key commands. In that case you would (for example) override the
58 SetAltFuncs() method.
