+Data binding
+------------
+
+To get familiar with observers, subjects, and data bindings in general visit the
+:ref:`Observer <observer_how_to_use>` page.
+
+This method of subscribing to an integer Subject affects a Bar Widget's integer
+value directly.  Note that this is a one-way binding (Subject ==> Widget) so when
+the subject changes the Bar will be updated too.
+
+It supports integer and float subjects.
