==========================================================================================================================================

:class:`~wx.lib.agw.zoombar.ZoomBar` is a class that *appoximatively* mimics the behaviour of the Mac Dock,
inside a :class:`Panel`.


Description
===========

:class:`ZoomBar` is a class that *appoximatively* mimics the behaviour of the Mac Dock,
inside a :class:`Panel`.

Once you hover mouse over the :class:`ZoomBar` correct button will bubble up, grow to
predefined size, so you can easily see the button you are about to click and
have larger area to click. Difference this makes is amazing.

The buttons are able to be zoomed from the bottom up (bottom fixed) as well
as to zoom from a central point. Also the container is able to move the
remaining buttons around the zoomed button.


Usage
=====

Usage example::

    import os
    import random
    import glob

    import wx
    import wx.lib.agw.zoombar as ZB

    class MyFrame(wx.Frame):

        def __init__(self, parent):

            wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, -1, "ZoomBar Demo")

            panel = wx.Panel(self)

            bar = ZB.ZoomBar(panel, -1)

            standard = glob.glob(bitmapDir + "/*96.png")
            reflections = glob.glob(bitmapDir + "/*96Flip40.png")

            separatorImage = bitmapDir + "/separator.gif"
            separatorReflection = bitmapDir + "/separatorFlip.png"
            count = 0

            for std, ref in zip(standard, reflections):
                if random.randint(0, 1) == 1 and count > 0:
                    sep1 = wx.Bitmap(separatorImage, wx.BITMAP_TYPE_GIF)
                    sep2 = wx.Bitmap(separatorReflection, wx.BITMAP_TYPE_PNG)
                    bar.AddSeparator(sep1, sep2)

                bname = os.path.split(std)[1][0:-6]
                bar.AddButton(wx.Bitmap(std, wx.BITMAP_TYPE_PNG), wx.Bitmap(ref, wx.BITMAP_TYPE_PNG), bname)
                count += 1

            bar.ResetSize()

            sizer = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL)
            sizer.Add(bar, 0, wx.ALIGN_CENTER_HORIZONTAL | wx.ALIGN_CENTER_VERTICAL | wx.ALL, 15)
            panel.SetSizer(sizer)


    # our normal wxApp-derived class, as usual

    app = wx.App(0)

    frame = MyFrame(None)
    app.SetTopWindow(frame)
    frame.Show()

    app.MainLoop()
