Documentation for the Python +objects defined by the project is divided into separate pages for each +package, module, and class. The API documentation also includes two +pages containing information about the project as a whole: a trees +page, and an index page. </p> + +<h2> Object Documentation </h2> + + <p>Each <strong>Package Documentation</strong> page contains: </p> + <ul> + <li> A description of the package. </li> + <li> A list of the modules and sub-packages contained by the + package. </li> + <li> A summary of the classes defined by the package. </li> + <li> A summary of the functions defined by the package. </li> + <li> A summary of the variables defined by the package. </li> + <li> A detailed description of each function defined by the + package. </li> + <li> A detailed description of each variable defined by the + package. </li> + </ul> + + <p>Each <strong>Module Documentation</strong> page contains:</p> + <ul> + <li> A description of the module. </li> + <li> A summary of the classes defined by the module. </li> + <li> A summary of the functions defined by the module. </li> + <li> A summary of the variables defined by the module. </li> + <li> A detailed description of each function defined by the + module. </li> + <li> A detailed description of each variable defined by the + module. </li> + </ul> + + <p>Each <strong>Class Documentation</strong> page contains: </p> + <ul> + <li> A class inheritance diagram. </li> + <li> A list of known subclasses. </li> + <li> A description of the class. </li> + <li> A summary of the methods defined by the class. </li> + <li> A summary of the instance variables defined by the class. </li> + <li> A summary of the class (static) variables defined by the + class. </li> + <li> A detailed description of each method defined by the + class. </li> + <li> A detailed description of each instance variable defined by the + class. </li> + <li> A detailed description of each class (static) variable defined + by the class. </li> + </ul> + +<h2> Project Documentation </h2> + + <p> The <strong>Trees</strong> page contains the module and class hierarchies: </p> + <ul> + <li> The <em>module hierarchy</em> lists every package and module, with + modules grouped into packages. At the top level, and within each + package, modules and sub-packages are listed alphabetically. </li> + <li> The <em>class hierarchy</em> lists every class, grouped by base + class. If a class has more than one base class, then it will be + listed under each base class. At the top level, and under each base + class, classes are listed alphabetically. </li> + </ul> + + <p> The <strong>Index</strong> page contains indices of terms and + identifiers: </p> + <ul> + <li> The <em>term index</em> lists every term indexed by any object's + documentation. For each term, the index provides links to each + place where the term is indexed. </li> + <li> The <em>identifier index</em> lists the (short) name of every package, + module, class, method, function, variable, and parameter. For each + identifier, the index provides a short description, and a link to + its documentation. </li> + </ul> + +<h2> The Table of Contents </h2> + +<p> The table of contents occupies the two frames on the left side of +the window. The upper-left frame displays the <em>project +contents</em>, and the lower-left frame displays the <em>module +contents</em>: </p> + +<table class="help summary" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3"> + <tr style="height: 30%"> + <td align="center" style="font-size: small"> + Project<br />Contents<hr />...</td> + <td align="center" style="font-size: small" rowspan="2" width="70%"> + API<br />Documentation<br />Frame<br /><br /><br /> + </td> + </tr> + <tr> + <td align="center" style="font-size: small"> + Module<br />Contents<hr /> <br />...<br /> + </td> + </tr> +</table><br /> + +<p> The <strong>project contents frame</strong> contains a list of all packages +and modules that are defined by the project. Clicking on an entry +will display its contents in the module contents frame. Clicking on a +special entry, labeled "Everything," will display the contents of +the entire project. </p> + +<p> The <strong>module contents frame</strong> contains a list of every +submodule, class, type, exception, function, and variable defined by a +module or package. Clicking on an entry will display its +documentation in the API documentation frame. Clicking on the name of +the module, at the top of the frame, will display the documentation +for the module itself. </p> + +<p> The "<strong>frames</strong>" and "<strong>no frames</strong>" buttons below the top +navigation bar can be used to control whether the table of contents is +displayed or not. </p> + +<h2> The Navigation Bar </h2> + +<p> A navigation bar is located at the top and bottom of every page. +It indicates what type of page you are currently viewing, and allows +you to go to related pages. The following table describes the labels +on the navigation bar.

Private objects are usually defined +as objects whose (short) names begin with a single underscore, but do +not end with an underscore. For example, "<code>_x</code>", +"<code>__pprint</code>", and "<code>epydoc.epytext._tokenize</code>" +are private objects; but "<code>re.sub</code>", +"<code>__init__</code>", and "<code>type_</code>" are not. However, +if a module defines the "<code>__all__</code>" variable, then its +contents are used to decide which objects are private. </p> + +<p> A timestamp below the bottom navigation bar indicates when each +page was last updated. </p> +<!-- ==================== NAVIGATION BAR ==================== --> +<table class="navbar" border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" + bgcolor="#a0c0ff" cellspacing="0"> + <tr valign="middle"> + <!-- Home link --> + <th> <a + href="SmootLight-module.html">Home</a> </th> + + <!-- Tree link --> + <th> <a + href="module-tree.html">Trees</a> </th> + + <!-- Index link --> + <th> <a + href="identifier-index.html">Indices</a> </th> + + <!-- Help link --> + <th bgcolor="#70b0f0" class="navbar-select" + > Help </th> + + <th class="navbar" width="100%"></th> + </tr> +</table> +<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%%"> + <tr> + <td align="left" class="footer"> + Generated by Epydoc 3.0.1 on Fri Feb 18 16:55:23 2011 + </td> + <td align="right" class="footer"> + <a target="mainFrame" href="http://epydoc.sourceforge.net" + >http://epydoc.sourceforge.net</a> + </td> + </tr> +</table> + +<script type="text/javascript"> + <!-- + // Private objects are initially displayed (because if + // javascript is turned off then we want them to be + // visible); but by default, we want to hide them.
