tkinter

class

Text(master=None, cnf={}, **kw)

A Text widget displays and edits multi-line text. Portions of the text may be styled with tags, particular positions may be annotated with floating marks, and arbitrary images and other widgets may be embedded in the text. The widget also provides an unlimited undo/redo mechanism and supports peer widgets that share the same underlying data. Inherits from Widget, XView and YView, so the view can be scrolled horizontally and vertically with xview() and yview(). Refer to the Tk text manual page for the full list of options.

Members of Text

b

bbox: Return a tuple (x, y, width, height) giving the bounding box, in pixels, of the visible part of the character at index, or None if that character is not visible on the screen.

c

compare: Compare the positions of index1 and index2 using the relational operator op, which must be one of '<', '<=', '==', '>=', '>' or '!=', and return the boolean result.
count: Count the number of items of the requested kinds between index1 and index2; the count is negative if index1 is after index2.

d

debug: If boolean is omitted, return whether internal consistency checks of the B-tree data structure are enabled.
delete: Delete the range of characters from index1 up to but not including index2.
dlineinfo: Return a tuple (x, y, width, height, baseline) describing the display line that contains index: the first four values give the bounding box of the line in pixels and baseline gives the offset of the …
dump: Return the contents of the widget from index1 up to but not including index2 (or just the segment at index1 if index2 is omitted), including text and information about marks, tags, images and windows.

e

edit: Low-level wrapper around the Tk edit widget command that controls the undo/redo mechanism and the modified flag; args is the edit subcommand and its arguments.
edit_modified: If arg is omitted, return the current state of the modified flag as true or false; the flag is set automatically whenever the text is inserted or deleted.
edit_redo: Reapply the most recently undone edit action, provided no further edits have been made since, and move it back to the undo stack.
edit_reset: Clear the undo and redo stacks.
edit_separator: Push a separator onto the undo stack, marking a boundary between edit actions for undo and redo.
edit_undo: Undo the most recent edit action, that is, all the inserts and deletes recorded on the undo stack since the previous separator, and move it to the redo stack.

g

get: Return the text from index1 up to but not including index2 as a string.

i

image_cget: Return the current value of the configuration option option for the embedded image at index.
image_configure: Query or modify the configuration options of the embedded image at index, like configure() but applied to that image.
image_create: Embed an image at index and return the name assigned to this image instance, which may then be used as an index or passed to the other image_* methods.
image_names: Return a tuple of the names of all images embedded in the widget.
index: Return the position corresponding to index in the canonical 'line.char' form.
insert: Insert the string chars just before the character at index (if index is 'end', just before the final newline).

m

mark_gravity: If direction is omitted, return the gravity of mark markName, either 'left' or 'right'.
mark_names: Return a tuple of the names of all marks currently set in the widget.
mark_next: Return the name of the first mark at or after index, or None if there is none.
mark_previous: Return the name of the last mark at or before index, or None if there is none.
mark_set: Set the mark named markName to the position just before the character at index, creating the mark if it does not already exist.
mark_unset: Remove each of the marks named in markNames.

p

peer_create: Create a peer text widget with the path name newPathName that shares this widget’s underlying data (text, marks, tags, images and the undo stack).
peer_names: Return a tuple of the path names of this widget’s peers, not including the widget itself.

r

replace: Replace the range of characters from index1 up to but not including index2 with chars.

s

scan_dragto: Scroll the widget by 10 times the difference between x, y and the coordinates passed to the last scan_mark() call.
scan_mark: Record x, y and the current view, for use with later scan_dragto() calls.
search: Search for pattern starting at index and return the index of the first character of the first match, or an empty string if there is no match.
search_all: Like search(), but find every match in the searched range and return a tuple of the starting indices of all matches (empty if there are none).
see: Adjust the view so that the character given by index is visible.

t

tag_add: Add the tag tagName to the range of characters from index1 up to but not including the next index in args.
tag_bind: Bind the event sequence on characters tagged with tagName to the callback func, so that func is invoked when that event occurs over such a character.
tag_cget: Return the current value of the configuration option option for the tag tagName.
tag_config: Query or modify the configuration options of the tag tagName.
tag_configure: Query or modify the configuration options of the tag tagName.
tag_delete: Delete each of the tags named in tagNames, removing them from all characters and discarding their options and bindings.
tag_lower: Lower the priority of tag tagName so that it is just below the priority of belowThis, or to the lowest priority of all tags if belowThis is omitted.
tag_names: If index is omitted, return a tuple of the names of all tags defined in the widget; otherwise return only the names of the tags applied to the character at index.
tag_nextrange: Search forward from index1 (up to index2 if given) for the first range of characters tagged with tagName, and return a two-element tuple of its start and end indices, or an empty tuple if there is no…
tag_prevrange: Search backward from index1 (down to index2 if given) for the nearest preceding range of characters tagged with tagName, and return a two-element tuple of its start and end indices, or an empty tuple…
tag_raise: Raise the priority of tag tagName so that it is just above the priority of aboveThis, or to the highest priority of all tags if aboveThis is omitted.
tag_ranges: Return a tuple of indices describing all ranges of text tagged with tagName.
tag_remove: Remove the tag tagName from the characters from index1 up to but not including index2 (or from the single character at index1 if index2 is omitted).
tag_unbind: Remove the bindings of the event sequence on characters tagged with tagName.

w

window_cget: Return the current value of the configuration option option for the embedded window at index.
window_config: Query or modify the configuration options of the embedded window at index, like configure() but applied to that window.
window_configure: Query or modify the configuration options of the embedded window at index, like configure() but applied to that window.
window_create: Embed a window (any widget) at index.
window_names: Return a tuple of the names of all windows embedded in the widget.

y

yview_pickplace: Adjust the view so that the location given by what is visible.
