/**
    @class wxHeaderColumn

    Represents a column header in controls displaying tabular data such as
    wxDataViewCtrl or wxGrid.

    Notice that this is an abstract base class which is implemented (usually
    using the information stored in the associated control) by the different
    controls using wxHeaderCtrl. As the control only needs to retrieve the
    information about the column, this class defines only the methods for
    accessing the various column properties but not for changing them as the
    setters might not be needed at all, e.g. if the column attributes can only
    be changed via the methods of the main associated control (this is the case
    for wxGrid for example). If you do want to allow changing them directly
    using the column itself, you should inherit from wxSettableHeaderColumn
    instead of this class.

    Finally, if you don't already store the column information at all anywhere,
    you should use the concrete wxHeaderColumnSimple class and
    wxHeaderCtrlSimple.
