    Parameters
    ----------
    expression : str or list or ObserverExpression
        A description of what traits are being observed.
        If this is a list, each item must be a string or Expression.
        See :py:func:`HasTraits.observe` for details on the
        semantics when passing a string.
    post_init : boolean, optional
        Whether the change handler should be attached after
        the state is set when instantiating an object. Default is false, and
        values provided to the instance constructor will trigger the
        change handler to fire if the value is different from the
        default. Set to true to avoid this change event.
    dispatch : str, optional
        A string indicating how the handler should be run. Default is to run
        it on the same thread where the change occurs.
        Possible values are:

        =========== =======================================================
        value       dispatch
        =========== =======================================================
        ``same``    Run notifications on the same thread where the change
                    occurs. The notifications are executed immediately.
        ``ui``      Run notifications on the UI thread. If the current
                    thread is the UI thread, the notifications are executed
                    immediately; otherwise, they are placed on the UI

        """Creates and displays a dialog box for editing values of trait
        attributes, as if it were a complete, self-contained GUI application.

        This method is intended for use in applications that do not normally
        have a GUI. Control does not resume in the calling application until
        the user closes the dialog box.

        The method attempts to open and unpickle the contents of *filename*
        before displaying the dialog box. When editing is complete, the method
        attempts to pickle the updated contents of the object back to
        *filename*. If the file referenced by *filename* does not exist, the
        object is not modified before displaying the dialog box. If *filename*
        is unspecified or None, no pickling or unpickling occurs.

        If *edit* is True (the default), a dialog box for editing the
        current object is displayed. If *edit* is False or None, no
        dialog box is displayed. You can use ``edit=False`` if you want the
        object to be restored from the contents of *filename*, without being
        modified by the user.

        Parameters
        ----------
        filename : str
            The name (including path) of a file that contains a pickled
            representation of the current object. When this parameter is
            specified, the method reads the corresponding file (if it exists)
            to restore the saved values of the object's traits before
            displaying them. If the user confirms the dialog box (by clicking
            **OK**), the new values are written to the file. If this parameter
            is not specified, the values are loaded from the in-memory object,
            and are not persisted when the dialog box is closed.

            is defined as an attribute on this class, use the name of the

            attribute is not specified, the View object returned by
            trait_view() is used.
        kind : str
            The type of user interface window to create. See the
            **traitsui.view.kind_trait** trait for values and
            their meanings. If *kind* is unspecified or None, the **kind**
            attribute of the View object is used.
        edit : bool
            Indicates whether to display a user interface. If *filename*
            specifies an existing file, setting *edit* to False loads the
            saved values from that file into the object without requiring

            A single object or a dictionary of string/object pairs, whose trait
            attributes are to be edited. If not specified, the current object
            is used
        handler : Handler
            A handler object used for event handling in the dialog box. If

        id : str
            A unique ID for persisting preferences about this user interface,
            such as size and position. If not specified, no user preferences
            are saved.
        scrollable : bool
            Indicates whether the dialog box should be scrollable. When set to
            True, scroll bars appear on the dialog box if it is not large
            enough to display all of the items in the view at one time.

                                set.
        ``foo.[bar,-dirty]``    Listen for trait changes on *object.foo.bar* or
                                any trait on *object.foo* which does not have
                                'dirty' metadata set.
        ======================= ===============================================


        Note that any of the intermediate (i.e., non-final) links in a
        pattern can be traits of type Instance, List or Dict. In the case
        of List and Dict traits, the subsequent portion of the pattern is
        applied to each item in the list, or value in the dictionary.

        For example, if the self.children is a list, 'children.name'
        listens for trait changes to the *name* trait for each item in the
        self.children list.

        Note that items added to or removed from a list or dictionary in
        the pattern will cause the *handler* routine to be invoked as well,
        since this is treated as an *implied* change to the item's trait
        being monitored.

        The signature of the *handler* supplied also has an effect on
        how changes to intermediate traits are processed. The five valid
        handler signatures are:

        1. handler()
        2. handler(new)
        3. handler(name,new)
        4. handler(object,name,new)
        5. handler(object,name,old,new)

        For signatures 1, 4 and 5, any change to any element of a path
        being listened to invokes the handler with information about the
        particular element that was modified (e.g., if the item being
        monitored is 'foo.bar.baz', a change to 'bar' will call *handler*
        with the following information:

        - object: object.foo
        - name:   bar
        - old:    old value for object.foo.bar
        - new:    new value for object.foo.bar

        If one of the intermediate links is a List or Dict, the call to
        *handler* may report an *_items* changed event. If in the previous
        example, *bar* is a List, and a new item is added to *bar*, then
        the information passed to *handler* would be:

        - object: object.foo
        - name:   bar_items
        - old:    Undefined
        - new:    TraitListEvent whose *added* trait contains the new item
                  added to *bar*.

        For signatures 2 and 3, the *handler* does not receive enough
        information to discern between a change to the final trait being
        listened to and a change to an intermediate link. In this case,
        the event dispatcher will attempt to map a change to an
        intermediate link to its effective change on the final trait. This
        only works if all of the intermediate links are single values (such
        as an Instance or Any trait) and not Lists or Dicts. If the modified
        intermediate trait or any subsequent intermediate trait preceding
        the final trait is a List or Dict, then a TraitError is raised,
        since the effective value for the final trait cannot in general be
        resolved unambiguously. To prevent TraitErrors in this case, use the
        ':' separator to suppress notifications for changes to any of the
        intermediate links.

        Handler signature 1 also has the special characteristic that if a
        final trait is a List or Dict, it will automatically handle '_items'
        changed events for the final trait as well. This can be useful in
        cases where the *handler* only needs to know that some aspect of the
        final trait has been changed. For all other *handler* signatures,
        you must explicitly specify the 'xxx_items' trait if you want to
        be notified of changes to any of the items of the 'xxx' trait.

        Parameters
        ----------
        handler : function
            A trait notification function for the *name* trait attribute, with
            one of the signatures described below.
        name : str
            The name of the trait attribute whose value changes trigger the
            notification. The *name* can specify complex patterns of trait
            changes using an extended *name* syntax, which is described below.
        remove : bool
            If True, removes the previously-set association between
            *handler* and *name*; if False (the default), creates the
            association.
        dispatch : str
            A string indicating the thread on which notifications must be run.
            Possible values are:

            =========== =======================================================
            value       dispatch
            =========== =======================================================
            ``same``    Run notifications on the same thread as this one.
            ``ui``      Run notifications on the UI thread. If the current
                        thread is the UI thread, the notifications are executed
                        immediately; otherwise, they are placed on the UI
                        event queue.
            ``fast_ui`` Alias for ``ui``.
            ``new``     Run notifications in a new thread.
