Detailed Description

getSelection()

Note

Properties can be used directly when from __feature__ import true_property is used or via accessor functions otherwise.

property boundingRectangleᅟ: QRectF

This property holds the overall bounding rectangle (convex hull) around bounds .

Access functions:

• boundingRectangle()

property boundsᅟ: list of QPolygonF

This property holds a set of regions that the selected text occupies on the page, represented as polygons. The coordinate system for the polygons has the origin at the upper-left corner of the page, and the units are points .

Note

For now, the polygons returned from getSelection() are always rectangles; but in the future it may be possible to represent more complex regions.

Access functions:

• bounds()

property endIndexᅟ: int

This property holds the index at the end of text within the full text on the page.

Access functions:

• endIndex()

property startIndexᅟ: int

This property holds the index at the beginning of text within the full text on the page.

Access functions:

• startIndex()

property textᅟ: str

This property holds the selected text.

Access functions:

• text()

property validᅟ: bool

This property holds whether the selection is valid.

Access functions:

• isValid()
