.. class:: DocTemplate(wx.Object)

   The :class:`DocTemplate` class is used to model the relationship between a
   document class and a view class.

   .. method:: __init__(self, manager, description, filter, dir, ext, docTypeName, viewTypeName, docType, viewType, flags=DEFAULT_TEMPLATE_FLAGS, icon=None)

      Constructor. Create instances dynamically near the start of your
      application after creating a wxDocManager instance, and before doing
      any document or view operations.
      
      manager is the document manager object which manages this template.
      
      description is a short description of what the template is for. This
      string will be displayed in the file filter list of Windows file
      selectors.
      
      filter is an appropriate file filter such as \*.txt.
      
      dir is the default directory to use for file selectors.
      
      ext is the default file extension (such as txt).
      
      docTypeName is a name that should be unique for a given type of
      document, used for gathering a list of views relevant to a
      particular document.
      
      viewTypeName is a name that should be unique for a given view.
      
      docClass is a Python class. If this is not supplied, you will need to
      derive a new wxDocTemplate class and override the CreateDocument
      member to return a new document instance on demand.
      
      viewClass is a Python class. If this is not supplied, you will need to
      derive a new wxDocTemplate class and override the CreateView member to
      return a new view instance on demand.
      
      flags is a bit list of the following:
      ``TEMPLATE_VISIBLE``: The template may be displayed to the user in
      dialogs.
      
      ``TEMPLATE_INVISIBLE``: The template may not be displayed to the user in
      dialogs.
      
      ``DEFAULT_TEMPLATE_FLAGS``: Defined as ``TEMPLATE_VISIBLE``.


   .. method:: CreateDocument(self, path, flags)

      Creates a new instance of the associated document class. If you have
      not supplied a class to the template constructor, you will need to
      override this function to return an appropriate document instance.


   .. method:: CreateView(self, doc, flags)

      Creates a new instance of the associated document view. If you have
      not supplied a class to the template constructor, you will need to
      override this function to return an appropriate view instance.


   .. method:: FileMatchesTemplate(self, path)

      Returns ``True`` if the path's extension matches one of this template's
      file filter extensions.


   .. method:: GetDefaultExtension(self)

      Returns the default file extension for the document data, as passed to
      the document template constructor.


   .. method:: GetDescription(self)

      Returns the text description of this template, as passed to the
      document template constructor.


   .. method:: GetDirectory(self)

      Returns the default directory, as passed to the document template
      constructor.


   .. method:: GetDocumentManager(self)

      Returns the document manager instance for which this template was
      created.


   .. method:: GetDocumentName(self)

      Returns the document type name, as passed to the document template
      constructor.


   .. method:: GetDocumentType(self)

      Returns the Python document class, as passed to the document template
      constructor.


   .. method:: GetFileFilter(self)

      Returns the file filter, as passed to the document template
      constructor.


   .. method:: GetFlags(self)

      Returns the flags, as passed to the document template constructor.
      (see the constructor description for more details).


   .. method:: GetIcon(self)

      Returns the icon, as passed to the document template
      constructor.


   .. method:: GetViewName(self)

      Returns the view type name, as passed to the document template
      constructor.


   .. method:: GetViewType(self)

      Returns the Python view class, as passed to the document template
      constructor.


   .. method:: IsNewable(self)

      Returns true if the document template can be shown in "New" dialogs,
      false otherwise.


   .. method:: IsVisible(self)

      Returns true if the document template can be shown in user dialogs,
      false otherwise.


   .. method:: SetDefaultExtension(self, defaultExt)

      Sets the default file extension.


   .. method:: SetDescription(self, description)

      Sets the template description.


   .. method:: SetDirectory(self, dir)

      Sets the default directory.


   .. method:: SetDocumentManager(self, manager)
