Embed in wx #5
==============

.. tip::

:class:`wx.lib.mixins.inspection.InspectableApp` is a drop-in
replacement for :class:`wx.App` that opens an inspection window
letting you browse the live widget and sizer tree. It is a useful
debugging aid when embedding Matplotlib in wxPython. See the
`wx.lib.inspection documentation
<https://docs.wxpython.org/wx.lib.inspection.html>`_.

:class:`wx.lib.mixins.inspection.InspectableApp` is a drop-in
replacement for :class:`wx.App` that opens an inspection window
letting you browse the live widget and sizer tree. It is a useful
debugging aid when embedding Matplotlib in wxPython. See the
`wx.lib.inspection documentation
<https://docs.wxpython.org/wx.lib.inspection.html>`_.
As a development and debugging aid, you can replace :class:`wx.App`
by :class:`wx.lib.mixins.inspection.InspectableApp`.
This adds the capability to start the `Widget Inspection Tool
<https://wiki.wxpython.org/How%20to%20use%20Widget%20Inspection%20Tool%20-%20WIT%20%28Phoenix%29>`_ via :kbd:`Ctrl-Alt-I`.

Note: if you want to cross-reference the wx classes, you have to add the respective intersphinx_mapping. Alternatively, turn them into literals.
