|phoenix_title|  **wx.TextAttr**
==========================================================================================================================================

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

When setting up a :ref:`wx.TextAttr`  object, pass a bitlist mask to :meth:`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.

   .. method:: Apply(self, style, compareWith=None)

      Applies the attributes in `style`  to the original object, but not those attributes from `style`  that are the same as those in `compareWith`  (if passed).

   .. method:: EqPartial(self, attr, weakTest=True)

      Partial equality test.                  

      If `weakTest`  is ``True``, attributes of this object do not have to be present if those attributes of `attr`  are present. If `weakTest`  is ``False``, the function will fail if an attribute is present in `attr`  but not in this object.

      :rtype: `string`








   .. method:: GetBulletName(self)

      Returns the standard bullet name, applicable if the bullet style is ``wx.TEXT_ATTR_BULLET_STYLE_STANDARD``.

      -  ``standard/circle``       
      -  ``standard/square``       
      -  ``standard/diamond``       
      -  ``standard/triangle``       




                

      :rtype: `string`







      .. note:: 

         For :ref:`wx.richtext.RichTextCtrl`  users only: if you wish your rich text controls to support further bullet graphics, you can derive a class from :ref:`wx.richtext.RichTextRenderer`  or :ref:`wx.richtext.RichTextStdRenderer`, override  ``DrawStandardBullet``   and   ``EnumerateStandardBulletNames`` , and set an instance of the class using  :meth:`wx.richtext.RichTextBuffer.SetRenderer` .

   .. method:: 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. 

      :ref:`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.                  


      :param `indent`: 
      :type `indent`: int
      :param `subIndent`: 
      :type `subIndent`: int







   .. method:: SetLineSpacing(self, spacing)

      Sets the line spacing.                  

      `spacing`  is a multiple, where 10 means single-spacing, 15 means 1.5 spacing, and 20 means float spacing. The :ref:`wx.TextAttrLineSpacing`  values are defined for convenience.

   .. method:: SetListStyleName(self, name)

      Sets the list style name.                  


      :param `name`: 
      :type `name`: string







   .. method:: SetOutlineLevel(self, level)

      Specifies the outline level.                  

      Zero represents normal text. At present, the outline level is not used, but may be used in future for determining list levels and for applications that need to store document structure information.                  


      :param `level`: 
      :type `level`: int







   .. method:: SetPageBreak(self, pageBreak=True)

   .. method:: SetRightIndent(self, indent)

      Sets the right indent in tenths of a millimetre.                  


      :param `indent`: 
      :type `indent`: int







   .. method:: SetTabs(self, tabs)

      Sets the tab stops, expressed in tenths of a millimetre.                  

      Each stop is measured from the left margin and therefore each value must be larger than the last.                  


      :param `tabs`: 
      :type `tabs`: list of integers







   .. method:: SetTextColour(self, colText)

      Sets the text foreground colour.

   .. method:: SetTextEffectFlags(self, flags)

      Sets the text effect bits of interest.                  

      You should also pass ``wx.TEXT_ATTR_EFFECTS`` to :meth:`SetFlags` . See :meth:`SetFlags`   for further information.                  


      :param `flags`: 
      :type `flags`: int







   .. method:: SetTextEffects(self, effects)

      Sets the text effects, a bit list of styles.                  

      The :ref:`wx.TextAttrEffects`  enumeration values can be used. 

      Of these, only ``wx.TEXT_ATTR_EFFECT_CAPITALS``, ``wx.TEXT_ATTR_EFFECT_STRIKETHROUGH``, ``wx.TEXT_ATTR_EFFECT_SUPERSCRIPT`` and ``wx.TEXT_ATTR_EFFECT_SUBSCRIPT`` are implemented. 

      ``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 :meth:`SetFlags` , and call :meth:`SetTextEffectFlags`   with the styles (taken from the above set) that you are interested in setting.                  


      :param `effects`: 
      :type `effects`: int







   .. method:: SetURL(self, url)

      Sets the URL for the content.                  

      Sets the ``wx.TEXT_ATTR_URL`` style; content with this style causes :ref:`wx.richtext.RichTextCtrl`  to show a hand cursor over it, and :ref:`wx.richtext.RichTextCtrl`  generates a :ref:`wx.TextUrlEvent`  when the content is clicked.                  


      :param `url`: 
      :type `url`: string
