wx.TextAttr¶

wx.TextAttr represents the character and paragraph attributes, or style, for a range of text in a wx.TextCtrl or wx.richtext.RichTextCtrl.

Unless explicitly mentioned, the attributes are only implemented in wx.richtext.RichTextCtrl, and not wx.TextCtrl.

When setting up a wx.TextAttr object, pass a bitlist mask to wx.TextAttr.SetFlags to indicate which style elements should be changed. As a convenience, when you call a setter such as SetFont, the relevant bit will be set.

Note

On wxGTK, underline colour is only supported by GTK3. wx.TEXT_ATTR_UNDERLINE_SPECIAL is shown as a waved line. GTK might overrule the colour of wx.TEXT_ATTR_UNDERLINE_SPECIAL.

Note

On wxOSX, wx.TEXT_ATTR_UNDERLINE_SPECIAL is shown as a dotted line.

SetFontWeight(self, fontWeight)¶

Sets the font weight.

Parameters:: fontWeight (FontWeight) –

SetLeftIndent(self, indent, subIndent=0)¶

Sets the left indent and left subindent in tenths of a millimetre.

The sub-indent is an offset from the left of the paragraph, and is used for all but the first line in a paragraph.

A positive value will cause the first line to appear to the left of the subsequent lines, and a negative value will cause the first line to be indented relative to the subsequent lines.

wx.richtext.RichTextBuffer uses indentation to render a bulleted item. The left indent is the distance between the margin and the bullet. The content of the paragraph, including the first line, starts at leftMargin + leftSubIndent. So the distance between the left edge of the bullet and the left of the actual paragraph is leftSubIndent.

For wx.TextCtrl, is implemented under wxMSW and wxGTK. Also implemented in wx.richtext.RichTextCtrl.

Parameters:

indent (int) –
subIndent (int) –

SetLineSpacing(self, spacing)¶

Parameters:: name (string) –

SetOutlineLevel(self, level)¶

wx.TEXT_ATTR_EFFECT_CAPITALS capitalises text when displayed (leaving the case of the actual buffer text unchanged), and wx.TEXT_ATTR_EFFECT_STRIKETHROUGH draws a line through text.

To set effects, you should also pass wx.TEXT_ATTR_EFFECTS to SetFlags , and call SetTextEffectFlags with the styles (taken from the above set) that you are interested in setting.
