Description: # easy_gui
        
        easy_gui is a high-level Python library designed to simplify the process of creating GUI applications by wrapping tkinter.  Solving problems is tricky enough... using our solutions should be EASY!
        
        
        # Features
        
          - Quickly and easily build a GUI by subclassing easy_gui.EasyGUI
          - Add easy_gui Widget objects (check out widgets.py for details on each):
            - Button, Label, Entry, LabelEntry, CheckBox, DropDown, ListBox, Table, Tree, Slider, MatplotlibPlot, Canvas, ProgressBar, ScrolledText, StdOutBox, DatePicker
          - Create one or more Sections (including nested Sections) to help organize GUI elements
          - CSS Grid-style layouts
          - Simply create a popup window using EasyGUI.popup()
          - Simply create popup tooltips for widgets using Widget.add_tooltip()
          - Multithreading for GUI responsiveness (set "separate_thread=True" when creating a Button Widget)
          - Easy to install with few dependancies - just matplotlib (but you want to make plots anyway, right?!)
        
        
        # Quickstart
        
          - Installing easy_gui is easy enough.  Simply use pip:
          ```
          pip install easy_gui
          ```
        
          - To create an application with easy_gui, subclass the easy_gui.EasyGUI class and add elements in the init method.
        
          - Here is the most simple example:
          ```
          import easy_gui
        
          class GUI(easy_gui.EasyGUI):
              def __init__(self):
                  self.add_widget(type='label', text='Example Label')
                  self.add_widget(type='button', text='Button', command_func=lambda x: print('TEST'))
        
          application = GUI()
          ```
          <img src="examples/super_simple_gui.png" width="200px">
        
        
          - Now for a more substantial example that also shows CSS-style layout capabilities.  See the script examples/simple_gui.py for this code with additional explanatory comments:
          ```
          import easy_gui
        
          class GUI(easy_gui.EasyGUI):
              def __init__(self):
                  self.title('Animal Diet Generator')
                  self.geometry("425x170")
        
                  section = self.add_section('example_section')
                  section.configure_grid(['title             title         output',
                                          'label1            entry1        output',
                                          'label2            entry2        output',
                                          'run_button      run_button      output'])
                  section.add_widget(type='label', text='Animal Diet Generator!', grid_area='title')
                  section.add_widget(type='label', text='Animal:', grid_area='label1')
                  self.animal = section.add_widget(type='entry', grid_area='entry1')
                  section.add_widget(type='label', text='Food:', grid_area='label2')
                  self.food = section.add_widget(type='entry', grid_area='entry2')
                  section.add_widget(type='stdout', grid_area='output')
                  section.add_widget(type='button', text='Generate Diet!', grid_area='run_button', command_func=self.diet)
        
              def diet(self, event):
                  print(f'The {self.animal.get()} likes to eat {self.food.get()}!')
        
          application = GUI()
          ```

        # More Firepower
        
        The toy examples above show the basics for getting started.  Below is a more robust example for what a simple tool could look like.
        This example highlights a number of powerful features such as:
          - CSS-style grid layouts (literally make a picture of what you want to see with a list of strings)
          - Flexible, high-level Widgets that are quick to add or manipulate
          - Quick and easy popup window using `with self.popup() as popup:`
