implemented by <a class="link" href="class-atkobject.html" title="atk.Object"><code class="classname">atk.Object</code></a>

attributed or otherwise non-trivial. <a class="link" href="class-atkobject.html" title="atk.Object"><code class="classname">atk.Object</code></a>
objects whose text content is simple, unattributed, and very brief may
expose that content via <a class="link" href="class-atkobject.html#method-atkobject--get-name" title="atk.Object.get_name"><code class="methodname">atk.Object.get_name</code></a>
instead; however if the text is editable, multi-line, typically longer
than three or four words, attributed, selectable, or if the object
already uses the 'name' ATK property for other information, the <a class="link" href="class-atktext.html" title="atk.Text"><code class="classname">atk.Text</code></a> interface
should be used to expose the text content. In the case of editable text
content, <a class="link" href="class-atkeditabletext.html" title="atk.EditableText"><code class="classname">atk.EditableText</code></a>
(a subtype of the <a class="link" href="class-atktext.html" title="atk.Text"><code class="classname">atk.Text</code></a>

not only traversal facilities and change notification for text content,
but also caret tracking and glyph bounding box calculations. Note that
the text strings are exposed as UTF-8, and are therefore potentially
multi-byte, and caret-to-byte offset mapping makes no assumptions about
the character length; also bounding box glyph-to-offset mapping may be
complex for languages which use ligatures.</p></div><div class="refsect1" title="Methods"><a name="id2995457"></a><h2>Methods</h2><div class="refsect2" title="atk.Text.get_text"><a name="method-atktext--get-text"></a><h3>atk.Text.get_text</h3><pre class="programlisting"><code class="methodsynopsis"> def <span class="methodname">get_text</span>(<span class="methodparam"><span class="parameter"><strong class="parameter"><code>start_offset</code></strong></span></span>, <span class="methodparam"><span class="parameter"><strong class="parameter"><code>end_offset</code></strong></span></span>)</code></pre><table border="0" width="100%" bgcolor="#FFECCE"><col align="left" valign="top" width="0*"><tbody><tr><td><p><span class="term"><strong class="parameter"><code>start_offset</code></strong> :</span></p></td><td>start position</td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term"><strong class="parameter"><code>end_offset</code></strong> :</span></p></td><td>end position</td></tr><tr><td><p><span class="term"><span class="emphasis"><em>Returns</em></span> :</span></p></td><td>the text from
