-            Constructor for Window class.
-
-        PARAMETERS:
-            object:
-                Required Argument.
-                Specifies where the window object is initiated from.
-                Window object can be initiated from either teradataml DataFrame
-                or a column in a teradataml DataFrame.
-                Types: teradataml DataFrame, _SQLColumnExpression
-
-            partition_columns:
-                Optional Argument.
-                Specifies the name(s) of the column(s) over which the ordered
-                aggregate function executes by partitioning the rows.
-                Such a grouping is static.
-                Notes:
-                     1. If this argument is not specified, then the entire data
-                        from teradataml DataFrame, constitutes a single
-                        partition, over which the ordered aggregate function
-                        executes.
-                     2. "partition_columns" does not support CLOB and BLOB type
-                        of columns.
-                        Refer 'DataFrame.tdtypes' to get the types of the
-                        columns of a teradataml DataFrame.
-                Types: str OR list of Strings (str)
-
-            order_columns:
-                Optional Argument.
-                Specifies the name(s) of the column(s) to order the rows in a
-                partition, which determines the sort order of the rows over
-                which the function is applied.
-                Note:
-                    "order_columns" does not support CLOB and BLOB type
-                    of columns.
-                    Refer 'DataFrame.tdtypes' to get the types of the

-
-            sort_ascending:
-                Optional Argument.
-                Specifies whether column ordering should be in ascending or
-                descending order.
-                Default Value: True (ascending)
-                Note:
-                    When "order_columns" argument is not specified, argument
-                    is ignored.
-                Types: bool
-
-            nulls_first:
-                Optional Argument.
-                Specifies whether null results are to be listed first or last
-                or scattered.
-                Default Value: None
-                Note:
-                    When "order_columns" argument is not specified, argument is
-                    ignored.
-                Types: bool
-
-            window_start_point:
-                Optional Argument.
-                Specifies a starting point for a window. Based on the integer
-                value, n, starting point of the window is decided.
-                    * If 'n' is negative, window start point is n rows
-                      preceding the current row/data point.
-                    * If 'n' is positive, window start point is n rows
-                      following the current row/data point.
-                    * If 'n' is 0, window start at current row itself.
-                    * If 'n' is None, window start as Unbounded preceding,
-                      i.e., all rows before current row/data point are
-                      considered.
-                Notes:
-                     1. Value passed to this should always satisfy following condition:

-                     2. Following functions does not require any window to

-                Types: int
-
-            window_end_point:
-                Optional Argument.
-                Specifies an end point for a window. Based on the integer value,
-                n, starting point of the window is decided.
-                    * If 'n' is negative, window end point is n rows preceding
-                      the current row/data point.
-                    * If 'n' is positive, window end point is n rows following
-                      the current row/data point.
-                    * If 'n' is 0, window end's at current row itself.
-                    * If 'n' is None, window end's at Unbounded following,
-                      i.e., all rows before current row/data point are

-
-            ignore_window:

-                window ("window_start_point", "window_end_point") and use other
-                arguments, if specified.
-                When set to True, window is ignored, i.e., ROWS clause is not
-                included.
-                When set to False, window will be created, which is specified
-                by "window_start_point" and "window_end_point" parameters.
