-# Python 3.4.2\\
+This program does the following:
-#\\
-# Test programme for doing a simple 4 button GUI\\
+  * Creates a window (root)
-#\\
+  * Creates 2 frames to go in that window (topFrame and bottomFrame)
-# Alan Walker\\
+  * Creates 4 Icons
-# Aug 2016\\
+  * Loads an image on to each Icon
-#\\
+  * Associates each button with a function
-#\\
+  * Sets button 1 and 2 in the top frame
-# This programe creates a root window, then creates two frame in that root window (topFrame and bottomFrame)\\
+  * Sets button 2 in the bottom frame
-# Then four buttons are created, two in the top frame, two in the bottom. An image is loaded on to each button\\
-# Each button is assigned to a function so that something happens when the buttons are clicked.\\
-# The buttons are positioned left and right so you have a 2x2 layout\\
-#\\
-# Thats it, this is just a tester for my LCD screen that I want to use for my Intervalometer.\\
