(** {2 Functions to create parameters} *)

(** [string label value] creates a string parameter.
   @param editable indicate if the value is editable (default is [true]).
   @param expand indicate if the entry widget must expand or not (default is [true]).
   @param help an optional help message.
   @param f the function called to apply the value (default function does nothing).
*)

  ?f: (string -> unit) -> string -> string -> parameter_kind

(** [bool label value] creates a boolean parameter.
   @param editable indicate if the value is editable (default is [true]).
   @param help an optional help message.
   @param f the function called to apply the value (default function does nothing).
*)

(** [strings label value] creates a string list parameter.
   @param editable indicate if the value is editable (default is [true]).
   @param help an optional help message.
   @param f the function called to apply the value (default function does nothing).
   @param add the function returning a list of strings when the user wants to add strings
   (default returns an empty list).
   @param eq the comparison function, used not to have doubles in list. Default
   is [Pervasives.(=)]. If you want to allow doubles in the list, give a function
   always returning false.
*)

(** [list label f_strings value] creates a list parameter.
   [f_strings] is a function taking a value and returning a list
   of strings to display it. The list length should be the same for
   any value, and the same as the titles list length. The [value]
   is the initial list.
   @param editable indicate if the value is editable (default is [true]).
   @param help an optional help message.
   @param f the function called to apply the value (default function does nothing).
   @param eq the comparison function, used not to have doubles in list. Default
   is [Pervasives.(=)]. If you want to allow doubles in the list, give a function
   always returning false.
   @param edit an optional function to use to edit an element of the list.
     The function returns an element, no matter if element was changed or not.
     When this function is given, a "Edit" button appears next to the list.
   @param add the function returning a list of values when the user wants to add values
   (default returns an empty list).
   @param titles an optional list of titles for the list. If the [f_strings]
   function returns a list with more than one element, then you must give
   a list of titles.
   @param color an optional function returning the optional color for a given element.
   This color is used to display the element in the list. The default function returns
   no color for any element.

   (default is [false]).
