Match the max tooltip and bottom area sizes in the notebook. This prevents the tooltip from going below the bottom of the page, which makes it inaccessible by any mechanism and thus useless.

"""Traits-aware tab completion.
This module provides a custom tab-completer that intelligently hides the names
that the enthought.traits library (http://code.enthought.com/traits)
automatically adds to all objects that inherit from its base HasTraits class.
Activation
==========
To use this, put in your ~/.ipython/ipy_user_conf.py file:
from ipy_traits_completer import activate
activate([complete_threshold])
The optional complete_threshold argument is the minimal length of text you need
to type for tab-completion to list names that are automatically generated by
traits. The default value is 3. Note that at runtime, you can change this
value simply by doing:
import ipy_traits_completer
ipy_traits_completer.COMPLETE_THRESHOLD = 4
Usage
=====
The system works as follows. If t is an empty object that HasTraits, then
(assuming the threshold is at the default value of 3):
In [7]: t.ed<TAB>
doesn't show anything at all, but:
In [7]: t.edi<TAB>
t.edit_traits t.editable_traits
shows these two names that come from traits. This allows you to complete on
the traits-specific names by typing at least 3 letters from them (or whatever
you set your threshold to), but to otherwise not see them in normal completion.
Notes
=====
- This requires Python 2.4 to work (I use sets). I don't think anyone is
using traits with 2.3 anyway, so that's OK.
- Imports from enthought.traits are deferred until an object with a class that
looks like it subclasses from HasTraits comes along. This test is done by
looking at the name of the class and its superclasses.
