# Simple Attribute Alias Example

An example of using an Enaml alias to expose an internal attribute.

This example is similar to ‘simple_widget_alias.enaml’, but it shows how the developer can exert more control over a widget by exposing individual attributes instead of entire widgets.

Tip

To see this example in action, download it from `simple_attribute_alias` and run:

    $ enaml-run simple_attribute_alias.enaml
