Dave Jones 576fced6c4 Update all hierarchy charts in the docs
Added notes on how the abstracts are represented, ensured all the class
hierarchies were up to date, and changed the orientation so the classes
are actually readable in the big chart.

A simple interface to GPIO devices with Raspberry Pi.
Created by `Ben Nuttall`_ of the `Raspberry Pi Foundation`_, `Dave Jones`_, and
other contributors.
About
=====
Component interfaces are provided to allow a frictionless way to get started
with physical computing:
.. code:: python
from gpiozero import LED
from time import sleep
led = LED(17)
while True:
led.on()
sleep(1)
led.off()
sleep(1)
With very little code, you can quickly get going connecting your components
together:
.. code:: python
from gpiozero import LED, Button
from signal import pause
led = LED(17)
button = Button(3)
button.when_pressed = led.on
button.when_released = led.off
pause()
The library includes interfaces to many simple everyday components, as well as
some more complex things like sensors, analogue-to-digital converters, full
colour LEDs, robotics kits and more.
Install
=======
First, update your repositories list::
sudo apt-get update
Then install the package of your choice. Both Python 3 and Python 2 are
supported. Python 3 is recommended::
sudo apt-get install python3-gpiozero
or::
sudo apt-get install python-gpiozero
