Many owner-drawn controls, such as grid, allow client code to override or customize the look of the control by installing custom renderers. This is possible because the controls are owner drawn in the wx
framework and not by the underlying system toolkit. Also, the Grid
control itself provides a wide array of options for customization. In this recipe, we will take a look at the GridWithLabelRendererMixin
class to discuss a convenient way to customize how row and column labels are rendered in the Grid
control.
