      :rtype: :ref:`RichTextLineList`








   .. method:: GetRangeSize(self, range, size, descent, dc, context, flags, position=Point(0,0), parentSize=DefaultSize, partialExtents=None)

      Returns the object size for the given range.                  

      Returns ``False`` if the range is invalid for this object.                  


      :param `range`: 
      :type `range`: wx.richtext.RichTextRange
      :param `size`: 
      :type `size`: wx.Size
      :param `descent`:

      :rtype: `string`








   .. method:: 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). 

                


      :param `dc`: 
      :type `dc`: wx.DC

      :type `text`: string




      :rtype: `bool`








   .. method:: 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).                  


      :param `dc`: 
      :type `dc`: wx.DC

      :param `list`: 
      :type `list`: :class:`RichTextObjectList_`







   .. method:: MoveToList(self, obj, list)

      Moves content to a list from this point.
