attr (wx.richtext.RichTextAttr) –

HitTest(self, dc, context, pt, flags=0)¶Hit-testing: returns a flag indicating hit test details, plus information about position.
contextObj is returned to specify what object position is relevant to, since otherwise there’s an ambiguity. @ obj might not be a child of contextObj, since we may be referring to the container itself if we have no hit on a child - for example if we click outside an object.
The function puts the position in textPosition if one is found. pt is in logical units (a zero y position is at the beginning of the buffer).
dc (wx.DC) –
context (wx.richtext.RichTextDrawingContext) –
pt (wx.Point) –

bool

bool
Layout(self, dc, context, rect, parentRect, style)¶Lay the item out at the specified position with the given size constraint.
Layout must set the cached size. rect is the available space for the object, and parentRect is the container that is used to determine a relative size or position (for example if a text box must be 50% of the parent text box).
dc (wx.DC) –
context (wx.richtext.RichTextDrawingContext) –
rect (wx.Rect) –
parentRect (wx.Rect) –
style (int) –
bool
LayoutToBestSize(self, dc, context, buffer, parentAttr, attr, availableParentSpace, availableContainerSpace, style)¶Lays out the object first with a given amount of space, and then if no width was specified in attr, lays out the object again using the minimum size.
availableParentSpace is the maximum space for the object, whereas availableContainerSpace is the container with which relative positions and sizes should be computed. For example, a text box whose space has already been constrained in a previous layout pass to availableParentSpace, but should have a width of 50% of availableContainerSpace. (If these two rects were the same, a 2nd pass could see the object getting too small.)

object (wx.richtext.RichTextObject) –
context (wx.richtext.RichTextDrawingContext) –
bool
Move(self, pt)¶Moves the object recursively, by adding the offset from old to new.
pt (wx.Point) –
