'''
The PyFerretBindings class is a base class providing common
methods in PipedViewer bindings for PyFerret graphics methods.

The PViewerPQPyFerretBindings class is a subclass of PyFerretBindings
using PipedViewerPQ as the viewer.

The PImagerPQPyFerretBindings class is a subclass of PyFerretBindings
using PipedImagerPQ as the viewer.  Note that PipedImagerPQ only
displays completed images and does not understand many of the commands
(including all the drawing commands) given here.

This package was developed by the Thermal Modeling and Analysis Project
(TMAP) of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA)
Pacific Marine Environmental Lab (PMEL).
