.. class:: ProgressGauge(wx.Window)

   This class provides a visual alternative for :class:`Gauge`.

   .. method:: __init__(self, parent, id=wx.ID_ANY, pos=wx.DefaultPosition, size=(-1,30))

      Default class constructor.
      
      :param `parent`: parent window. Must not be ``None``;
      :param `id`: window identifier. A value of -1 indicates a default value;
      :param `pos`: the control position. A value of (-1, -1) indicates a default position,
       chosen by either the windowing system or wxPython, depending on platform;
      :param `size`: the control size. A value of (-1, -1) indicates a default size,
       chosen by either the windowing system or wxPython, depending on platform.


   .. method:: DrawProgress(self, dc, xsize, ysize, increment)

      Actually draws the sliding bar.
      
      :param `dc`: an instance of :class:`wx.DC`;
      :param `xsize`: the width of the whole progress bar;
      :param `ysize`: the height of the whole progress bar;
      :param `increment`: a positive value if we are spinning from left to right,
       a negative one if we are spinning from right to left.


   .. method:: GetFirstGradientColour(self)

      Returns the first gradient colour. 


   .. method:: GetGaugeBackground(self)

      Returns the gauge background colour. 


   .. method:: GetGaugeProportion(self)

      Returns the relative proportion between the sliding bar and the
      whole gauge.


   .. method:: GetGaugeSteps(self)

      Returns the number of steps the gauge performs before switching from
      forward to backward (or vice-versa) movement.


   .. method:: GetSecondGradientColour(self)

      Returns the second gradient colour. 


   .. method:: OnEraseBackground(self, event)

      Handles the ``wx.EVT_ERASE_BACKGROUND`` event for :class:`ProgressGauge`.
      
      :param `event`: a :class:`EraseEvent` event to be processed.
      
      :note: This method is intentionally empty to reduce flicker.


   .. method:: OnPaint(self, event)

      Handles the ``wx.EVT_PAINT`` event for :class:`ProgressGauge`.
      
      :param `event`: a :class:`PaintEvent` event to be processed.


   .. method:: SetFirstGradientColour(self, colour)

      Sets the first gradient colour.
      
      :param `colour`: a valid :class:`wx.Colour` object.


   .. method:: SetGaugeBackground(self, colour)

      Sets the gauge background colour.
      
      :param `colour`: a valid :class:`wx.Colour` object.


   .. method:: SetGaugeProportion(self, proportion)

      Sets the relative proportion between the sliding bar and the
      whole gauge.
      
      :param `proportion`: a floating point number representing the relative
       proportion between the sliding bar and the whole gauge.


   .. method:: SetGaugeSteps(self, steps)

      Sets the number of steps the gauge performs before switching from
      forward to backward (or vice-versa) movement.
      
      :param `steps`: the number of steps the gauge performs before switching from
       forward to backward (or vice-versa) movement.


   .. method:: SetSecondGradientColour(self, colour)

      Sets the second gradient colour.
      
      :param `colour`: a valid :class:`wx.Colour` object.


   .. method:: Update(self)

      Updates the gauge with a new value.
