Basic Menu Example
++++++++++++++++++

Here is an example of a simple menu. Menus differ from panels in that they must
reference from a header, panel or another menu.

Notice the 'CATEGORY_MT_name' in  :class:`Menu.bl_idname`, this is a naming
convention for menus.

.. note::

   Menu subclasses must be registered before referencing them from blender.

.. note::

   Menus have their :class:`Layout.operator_context` initialized as
   'EXEC_REGION_WIN' rather than 'INVOKE_DEFAULT' (see :ref:`Execution Context <operator-execution_context>`).
   If the operator context needs to initialize inputs from the
   :class:`Operator.invoke` function, then this needs to be explicitly set.
