|method_summary| Methods Summary
================================

================================================================================ ================================================================================
:meth:`~wx.richtext.RichTextDrawingHandler.__init__`                             Creates a drawing handler object.
:meth:`~wx.richtext.RichTextDrawingHandler.GetName`                              Returns the name of the handler.
:meth:`~wx.richtext.RichTextDrawingHandler.GetVirtualAttributes`                 Provides virtual attributes that we can provide.
:meth:`~wx.richtext.RichTextDrawingHandler.GetVirtualSubobjectAttributes`        Gets the mixed virtual attributes for individual positions within the object.
:meth:`~wx.richtext.RichTextDrawingHandler.GetVirtualSubobjectAttributesCount`   Gets the count for mixed virtual attributes for individual positions within the object.
:meth:`~wx.richtext.RichTextDrawingHandler.GetVirtualText`                       Gets the virtual text for this object.
:meth:`~wx.richtext.RichTextDrawingHandler.HasVirtualAttributes`                 Returns ``True`` if this object has virtual attributes that we can provide.
:meth:`~wx.richtext.RichTextDrawingHandler.HasVirtualText`                       Do we have virtual text for this object? Virtual text allows an application to replace characters in an object for editing and display purposes, for example for highlighting special characters.
:meth:`~wx.richtext.RichTextDrawingHandler.SetName`                              Sets the name of the handler.

.. class:: wx.richtext.RichTextDrawingHandler(Object)

   **Possible constructors**::

       RichTextDrawingHandler(name="")
       
   
   The base class for custom drawing handlers.



   .. method:: __init__(self, name="")

      Creates a drawing handler object.                  


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







   .. method:: GetName(self)

      Returns the name of the handler.                  

      :rtype: `string`








   .. method:: GetVirtualAttributes(self, attr, obj)

      Provides virtual attributes that we can provide.                  


      :param `attr`: 
      :type `attr`: wx.richtext.RichTextAttr
      :param `obj`:

      :type `attributes`: RichTextAttrArray




      :rtype: `int`








   .. method:: GetVirtualSubobjectAttributesCount(self, obj)

      Gets the count for mixed virtual attributes for individual positions within the object.                  

      For example, individual characters within a text object may require special highlighting.                  


      :param `obj`: 
      :type `obj`: wx.richtext.RichTextObject




      :rtype: `int`








   .. method:: GetVirtualText(self, obj, text)

      :type `obj`: wx.richtext.RichTextObject




      :rtype: `bool`








   .. method:: HasVirtualText(self, obj)

      Do we have virtual text for this object? Virtual text allows an application to replace characters in an object for editing and display purposes, for example for highlighting special characters.                  


      :param `obj`: 
      :type `obj`: wx.richtext.RichTextPlainText




      :rtype: `bool`








   .. method:: SetName(self, name)

      Sets the name of the handler.
