+    A platform-independent image class.  An image can be created from
+    data, or using `wx.Bitmap.ConvertToImage`, or loaded from a file in a
+    variety of formats.  Functions are available to set and get image
+    bits, so it can be used for basic image manipulation.
+
+    A wx.Image cannot be drawn directly to a `wx.DC`.  Instead, a
+    platform-specific `wx.Bitmap` object must be created from it using the
+    `wx.BitmapFromImage` constructor. This bitmap can then be drawn in a
+    device context, using `wx.DC.DrawBitmap`.
+
+    One colour value of the image may be used as a mask colour which will
+    lead to the automatic creation of a `wx.Mask` object associated to the
+    bitmap object.
+
+    wx.Image supports alpha channel data, that is in addition to a byte
+    for the red, green and blue colour components for each pixel it also
+    stores a byte representing the pixel opacity. An alpha value of 0
+    corresponds to a transparent pixel (null opacity) while a value of 255
+    means that the pixel is 100% opaque.
+
+    Unlike RGB data, not all images have an alpha channel and before using
+    `GetAlpha` you should check if this image contains an alpha channel
+    with `HasAlpha`. Note that currently only images loaded from PNG files

+    This event class contains information about keypress and character
+    events.  These events are only sent to the widget that currently has
+    the keyboard focus.
+
+    Notice that there are three different kinds of keyboard events in
+    wxWidgets: key down and up events and char events. The difference
+    between the first two is clear - the first corresponds to a key press
+    and the second to a key release - otherwise they are identical. Just
+    note that if the key is maintained in a pressed state you will
+    typically get a lot of (automatically generated) down events but only
+    one up so it is wrong to assume that there is one up event
+    corresponding to each down one.
+
+    Both key events provide untranslated key codes while the char event
+    carries the translated one. The untranslated code for alphanumeric
+    keys is always an upper case value. For the other keys it is one of
+    WXK_XXX values from the keycodes table. The translated key is, in
+    general, the character the user expects to appear as the result of the
+    key combination when typing the text into a text entry zone, for
+    example.
+
+    A few examples to clarify this (all assume that CAPS LOCK is unpressed
+    and the standard US keyboard): when the 'A' key is pressed, the key
+    down event key code is equal to ASCII A == 65. But the char event key
+    code is ASCII a == 97. On the other hand, if you press both SHIFT and
+    'A' keys simultaneously , the key code in key down event will still be
+    just 'A' while the char event key code parameter will now be 'A' as
+    well.
+
+    Although in this simple case it is clear that the correct key code
+    could be found in the key down event handler by checking the value
+    returned by `ShiftDown`, in general you should use EVT_CHAR for this
+    as for non alphanumeric keys or non-US keyboard layouts the
+    translation is keyboard-layout dependent and can only be done properly
+    by the system itself.
+
+    Another kind of translation is done when the control key is pressed:
+    for example, for CTRL-A key press the key down event still carries the
+    same key code 'A' as usual but the char event will have key code of 1,
+    the ASCII value of this key combination.
+
+    You may discover how the other keys on your system behave
+    interactively by running the KeyEvents sample in the wxPython demo and
+    pressing some keys while the blue box at the top has the keyboard
+    focus.
+
+    **Note**: If a key down event is caught and the event handler does not
+    call event.Skip() then the coresponding char event will not
+    happen. This is by design and enables the programs that handle both
+    types of events to be a bit simpler.
+
+    **Note for Windows programmers**: The key and char events in wxWidgets
+    are similar to but slightly different from Windows WM_KEYDOWN and
+    WM_CHAR events. In particular, Alt-x combination will generate a char
+    event in wxWidgets (unless it is used as an accelerator).
+
+    **Tip**: be sure to call event.Skip() for events that you don't
+    process in key event function, otherwise menu shortcuts may cease to
+    work under Windows.

+    """
+    This class is used for EVT_UPDATE_UI pseudo-events which are sent by
+    wxWidgets to give an application the chance to update various user
+    interface elements.
+
+    Without update UI events, an application has to work hard to
+    check/uncheck, enable/disable, and set the text for elements such as
+    menu items and toolbar buttons. The code for doing this has to be
+    mixed up with the code that is invoked when an action is invoked for a
+    menu item or button.
+
+    With update UI events, you define an event handler to look at the
+    state of the application and change UI elements accordingly. wxWidgets
+    will call your handler functions in idle time, so you don't have to
+    worry where to call this code. In addition to being a clearer and more
+    declarative method, it also means you don't have to worry whether
+    you're updating a toolbar or menubar identifier. The same handler can
+    update a menu item and toolbar button, if the ID values are the same.
+
+    Instead of directly manipulating the menu or button, you call
+    functions in the event object, such as `Check`. wxWidgets will
+    determine whether such a call has been made, and which UI element to
+    update.
+
+    These events will work for popup menus as well as menubars. Just
+    before a menu is popped up, `wx.Menu.UpdateUI` is called to process
+    any UI events for the window that owns the menu.
+
+    If you find that the overhead of UI update processing is affecting
+    your application, you can do one or both of the following:
+
+       1. Call `wx.UpdateUIEvent.SetMode` with a value of
+          wx.UPDATE_UI_PROCESS_SPECIFIED, and set the extra style
+          wx.WS_EX_PROCESS_UPDATE_EVENTS for every window that should
+          receive update events. No other windows will receive update
+          events.
+
+       2. Call `wx.UpdateUIEvent.SetUpdateInterval` with a millisecond
+          value to set the delay between updates. You may need to call
+          `wx.Window.UpdateWindowUI` at critical points, for example when
+          a dialog is about to be shown, in case the user sees a slight
+          delay before windows are updated.
+
+    Note that although events are sent in idle time, defining a EVT_IDLE
+    handler for a window does not affect this because the events are sent
+    from an internal idle handler.
+
+    wxWidgets tries to optimize update events on some platforms. On
+    Windows and GTK+, events for menubar items are only sent when the menu
+    is about to be shown, and not in idle time.

+    wx.Sizer is the abstract base class used for laying out subwindows in
+    a window.  You cannot use wx.Sizer directly; instead, you will have to
+    use one of the sizer classes derived from it such as `wx.BoxSizer`,
+    `wx.StaticBoxSizer`, `wx.NotebookSizer`, `wx.GridSizer`,  `wx.FlexGridSizer`
+    and `wx.GridBagSizer`.
+
+    The concept implemented by sizers in wxWidgets is closely related to
+    layout tools in other GUI toolkits, such as Java's AWT, the GTK
+    toolkit or the Qt toolkit. It is based upon the idea of the individual
+    subwindows reporting their minimal required size and their ability to
+    get stretched if the size of the parent window has changed. This will
+    most often mean that the programmer does not set the original size of
+    a dialog in the beginning, rather the dialog will assigned a sizer and
+    this sizer will be queried about the recommended size. The sizer in
+    turn will query its children, which can be normal windows or contorls,
+    empty space or other sizers, so that a hierarchy of sizers can be
+    constructed. Note that wxSizer does not derive from wxWindow and thus
+    do not interfere with tab ordering and requires very little resources
+    compared to a real window on screen.
+
+    What makes sizers so well fitted for use in wxWidgets is the fact that
+    every control reports its own minimal size and the algorithm can
+    handle differences in font sizes or different window (dialog item)
+    sizes on different platforms without problems. If for example the
+    standard font as well as the overall design of Mac widgets requires
+    more space than on Windows, then the initial size of a dialog using a
+    sizer will automatically be bigger on Mac than on Windows.
