PYGLET - Setting Selection Range in Incremental Text Layout

In pyglet, the IncrementalTextLayout is a part of the pyglet.text.layout module, which is used for rendering and processing formatted text in a GUI.

To set a selection range in an IncrementalTextLayout, you can use the set_selection method.

Here's an example of how to set a selection range in an IncrementalTextLayout:

import pyglet from pyglet.text import IncrementalTextLayout, document # Create a window window = pyglet.window.Window(500, 300) # Create a formatted document text = """Sample text to show IncrementalTextLayout and selection range. You can add more text as needed.""" doc = document.FormattedDocument(text) # Create an incremental text layout layout = IncrementalTextLayout(doc, 400, 200, multiline=True) layout.x = 50 layout.y = 50 # Set a selection range (for example, select from 7th to 12th character) layout.set_selection(6, 12) @window.event def on_draw(): window.clear() layout.draw() pyglet.app.run()

In this example, a window will display the given text, and the substring "e text" from the "Sample text..." line will be selected. The selection is set using the set_selection method which takes two arguments: the start and the end of the selection range.

Note that while the selected text will be visually highlighted, this doesn't provide any interactive functionality out-of-the-box. If you want to create an interactive text widget with selections, cursor movement, and other functionalities, you'll need to implement additional event handlers and logic.
