[New-bugs-announce] [issue31083] IDLE: document new TabPage(Frame) design for configdialog

[Terry J. Reedy]

New submission from Terry J. Reedy:

We are in the process of moving blocks of ConfigDialog methods pertaining to one tab page to a separate class. FontPage is more or less done.  GenPage is in process.  This issue is about documenting the generic structure of the classes in a comment block.  The following is extracted from msg299519 of #31050.

# class TabPage(Frame):
#    def __init__(self, master):
#        super().__init__(master)
#        self.create_page_tab()
#        self.load_tab_cfg()
#    def create_page_tab():
# ...
 
The rest will be an adaptation of the description of the old design in the same message plus what we have actually done so far.

This issue includes editing FontPage to conform to the documented design.
