"""This example demonstrates creating an image with Numeric
python, and displaying that through SDL. You can look at the
method of importing numeric and pygame.surfarray. This method
will fail 'gracefully' if it is not available.
I've tried mixing in a lot of comments where the code might
not be self explanatory, nonetheless it may still seem a bit
strange. Learning to use numeric for images like this takes a
bit of learning, but the payoff is extremely fast image
manipulation in python.

Just so you know how this breaks down. For each sampling of
time, 30% goes to each creating the gradient and blitting the
array. The final 40% goes to flipping/updating the display surface

If using an SDL version at least 1.1.8 the window will have
no border decorations.

The code also demonstrates use of the timer events."""
