/**
Constructor. Create instances dynamically near the start of your
application after creating a wxDocManager instance, and before doing
any document or view operations.
@param manager
The document manager object which manages this template.
@param descr
A short description of what the template is for. This string will
be displayed in the file filter list of Windows file selectors.
@param filter
An appropriate file filter such as "*.txt".
@param dir
The default directory to use for file selectors.
@param ext
The default file extension (such as "txt").
@param docTypeName
A name that should be unique for a given type of document, used for
gathering a list of views relevant to a particular document.
@param viewTypeName
A name that should be unique for a given view.
@param docClassInfo
A pointer to the run-time document class information as returned by
the wxCLASSINFO() macro, e.g. wxCLASSINFO(MyDocumentClass). If this is
not supplied, you will need to derive a new wxDocTemplate class and
override the CreateDocument() member to return a new document
instance on demand.
@param viewClassInfo
A pointer to the run-time view class information as returned by the
wxCLASSINFO() macro, e.g. wxCLASSINFO(MyViewClass). If this is not
supplied, you will need to derive a new wxDocTemplate class and
override the CreateView() member to return a new view instance on
demand.
@param flags
A bit list of the following:
- wxTEMPLATE_VISIBLE - The template may be displayed to the
user in dialogs.
- wxTEMPLATE_INVISIBLE - The template may not be displayed to
the user in dialogs.
- wxDEFAULT_TEMPLATE_FLAGS - Defined as wxTEMPLATE_VISIBLE.
@beginWxPerlOnly
In wxPerl @a docClassInfo and @a viewClassInfo can be either
@c Wx::ClassInfo objects or strings containing the name of the
perl packages which are to be used as @c Wx::Document and
@c Wx::View classes (they must have a constructor named new);
as an example:
- Wx::DocTemplate->new(docmgr, descr, filter, dir, ext,
docTypeName, viewTypeName, docClassInfo, viewClassInfo,
flags): will construct document and view objects from the
class information.
- Wx::DocTemplate->new(docmgr, descr, filter, dir, ext,
docTypeName, viewTypeName, docClassName, viewClassName,
flags): will construct document and view objects from perl
packages.
- Wx::DocTemplate->new(docmgr, descr, filter, dir, ext,
docTypeName, viewTypeName):
in this case @c Wx::DocTemplate::CreateDocument() and
@c Wx::DocTemplate::CreateView() must be overridden

open and the path to its file if it's not specified, i.e. if @a path is

that the @a path must be non-empty and there must be a registered

@class wxDocument
The document class can be used to model an application's file-based data.
It is part of the document/view framework supported by wxWidgets, and
cooperates with the wxView, wxDocTemplate and wxDocManager classes.
A normal document is the one created without parent document and is
associated with a disk file. Since version 2.9.2 wxWidgets also supports a
special kind of documents called child documents which are virtual
in the sense that they do not correspond to a file but rather to a part of
their parent document. Because of this, the child documents can't be
created directly by user but can only be created by the parent document
(usually when it's being created itself). They also can't be independently
saved. A child document has its own view with the corresponding window.
This view can be closed by user but, importantly, is also automatically
closed when its parent document is closed. Thus, child documents may be
convenient for creating additional windows which need to be closed when the
main document is. The docview sample demonstrates this use of child
documents by creating a child document containing the information about the
parameters of the image opened in the main document.
