# The BaseClasses are meant to store the documentation on all methods of a
# class, but not to contain any functionality whatsoever. BaseClass is
# inherited by all of the subclasses, and the documentation is copied using
# pygaze.copy_docstr. If you intend to make your own subclass for the current
# baseclass, be sure to inherit BaseClass, copy the documentation, and
# redefine the methods as you see fit, e.g.:
#
#import pygaze
#from pygaze._display.basedisplay import BaseDisplay
#
#class DummyDisplay(BaseDisplay):
#	
#	"""An example child of BaseDisplay"""
#	
#	def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
#		
#		"""Initializes a DummyDisplay instance"""
#		
#		pygaze.copy_docstring(BaseDisplay,DummyDisplay)
#	
#	def show(self):
#		
#		# note that here no docstring is provided, as it is copied from
#		# the parent class
#		
#		print("Display.show call at %d" % int(clock.get_time()))
