Dynamic restructuring a user interface using 'visible_when'
How to dynamically change which components of a Traits UI view are visible,
depending on the value of another trait.
The demo class "Person" has a set of attributes that apply to all instances
('first_name', 'last_name', 'age'), a set of attributes that apply only to
children (Persons whose age is under 18), and a set of attributes that apply
only to adults. As a Person's age changes, only the age-appropriate attributes
will be visible.
**Detail:** The optional *visible_when* attribute of an Item or Group is a
string containing a boolean expression (logical condition) indicating when this
Item or Group will be visible. The boolean expression is evaluated for the
object being viewed, so that in this example, 'age' refers to the 'age'
attribute of the Person being viewed.
Compare this to very similar demo of *enabled_when*, and the visually similar,
but structurally very different demo of *dynamic restructuring of a user
interface using an Instance editor and a Handler*.
