gtk.TextAttributes — an object containing the attributes set on some text
| class gtk.TextAttributes(gobject.GBoxed): | 
| 
 | 
A gtk.TextAttributes 
object holds a set of attributes that describe the properties of a section
of text. A gtk.TextAttributes 
object is usually obtained by calling either of the gtk.TextIter.get_attributes() 
or gtk.TextView.get_default_attributes() 
methods to retrieve the attributes in effect.
A gtk.TextAttributes 
object created with gtk.TextAttributes() cannot
be applied within PyGTK because there is no way to set the attributes.
Likewise, the copy() 
and copy_values() 
methods can create a new copy or copy the attributes but there are no
methods in PyGTK that take a gtk.TextAttributes 
object as an argument. The most effective way to use a gtk.TextAttributes 
object is to read its attributes and use them to set the properties of a
gtk.TextTag.
    gtk.TextAttributes()| Returns : | a new gtk.TextAttributes | 
Creates a gtk.TextAttributes 
object, that contains a set of attributes of some text.
    def copy()| Returns : | a copy of the gtk.TextAttributesobject | 
The copy() method copies the text
attributes and returns a new gtk.TextAttributes 
object.
    def copy_values(dest)| 
 | the gtk.TextAttributeswhose attributes will be set | 
The copy_values() method copies the
values from the gtk.TextAttributes 
object to dest so that dest
has the same values. Frees existing values in
dest.
