Implemented Interfaces

goocanvas.TextModel implements goocanvas.ItemModel

Description

goocanvas.TextModel represents a text item. It is a subclass of goocanvas.ItemModelModelSimple and so inherits all of the style properties such as "stroke-color", "fill-color" and "line-width". It also implements the goocanvas.ItemModel interface, so you can use the goocanvas.ItemModel functions such as goocanvas.ItemModel.raise_() and goocanvas.ItemModel.rotate()

Constructor

    goocanvas.TextModel(properties=None)

properties:

A comma separated list of properties.

Returns:

A new goocanvas.TextModel

Here's an example showing how to create a text model item with the bottom right of the text box placed at (500,500): 

text = goocanvas.TextModel(parent=root,
                           text="Hello, World!",
                           x=500,
                           y=500,
                           width=200,
                           anchor=gtk.ANCHOR_SE,
                           fill_color="blue")
