class Auto(Enum):
    ''' Accepts only the string "auto".

    Useful for properties that can be configured to behave "automatically".

    Example:

        This property is often most useful in conjunction with the
        :class:`~bokeh.core.properties.Either` property.

        .. code-block:: python

            >>> class AutoModel(HasProps):
            ...     prop = Either(Float, Auto)
            ...

            >>> m = AutoModel()

            >>> m.prop = 10.2

            >>> m.prop = "auto"

            >>> m.prop = "foo"      # ValueError !!

            >>> m.prop = [1, 2, 3]  # ValueError !!
