+ @class wxGridTableBase
+
+ The almost abstract base class for grid tables.
+
+ A grid table is responsible for storing the grid data and, indirectly, grid
+ cell attributes. The data can be stored in the way most convenient for the
+ application but has to be provided in string form to wxGrid. It is also
+ possible to provide cells values in other formats if appropriate, e.g. as
+ numbers.
+
+ This base class is not quite abstract as it implements a trivial strategy
+ for storing the attributes by forwarding it to wxGridCellAttrProvider and
+ also provides stubs for some other functions. However it does have a number
+ of pure virtual methods which must be implemented in the derived classes.
