class Callable(param.Parameterized):
    """
    Callable allows wrapping callbacks on one or more DynamicMaps
    allowing their inputs (and in future outputs) to be defined.
    This makes it possible to wrap DynamicMaps with streams and
    makes it possible to traverse the graph of operations applied
    to a DynamicMap.

    Additionally, if the memoize attribute is True, a Callable will
    memoize the last returned value based on the arguments to the
    function and the state of all streams on its inputs, to avoid
    calling the function unnecessarily. Note that because memoization
    includes the streams found on the inputs it may be disabled if the
    stream requires it and is triggering.

    A Callable may also specify a stream_mapping which specifies the
    objects that are associated with interactive (i.e linked) streams
    when composite objects such as Layouts are returned from the
    callback. This is required for building interactive, linked
    visualizations (for the backends that support them) when returning
    Layouts, NdLayouts or GridSpace objects. When chaining multiple
    DynamicMaps into a pipeline, the link_inputs parameter declares
    whether the visualization generated using this Callable will
    inherit the linked streams. This parameter is used as a hint by
    the applicable backend.

    The mapping should map from an appropriate key to a list of
    streams associated with the selected object. The appropriate key
    may be a type[.group][.label] specification for Layouts, an
    integer index or a suitable NdLayout/GridSpace key. For more
    information see the DynamicMap tutorial at holoviews.org.
