Create a menu, for use on a display's menu bar or as a pop-up.

Every Display has a menu bar at the top, which is intially empty. Menu items ("File", "Edit", etc.) can be added to it.

Menus can also be added to a display as pop-up menus (i.e., menus that appear when you press the right mouse button).

You can create a Menu using the following function:

Menu(title)

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
`title`	`str`	required	The menu's name, as shown on the menu bar.

Once a menu is created, it can be populated using the addItem() and addItemList() functions.

Once created, you can add it to a Display using the Display's addMenu() or addPopupMen() function.

Functions

Once a Menu menu has been created, the following functions are available:

Function	Description
`menu.addItem()`	Add an item to the menu.
`menu.addItemList()`	Add several items to the menu at once.
`menu.addSeparator()`	Add a separator line to the menu.
`menu.addSubmenu(menu)`	Add a submenu to the menu.
`menu.enable()`	Enable the menu, so its items can be selected.
`menu.disable()`	Disable the menu, graying it out so its items cannot be selected.
