Superclasses: :class:`~gi.repository.GObject.Object`





A ``GtkTextChildAnchor`` is a spot in a ``GtkTextBuffer`` where child widgets can
be “anchored”.

The anchor can have multiple widgets anchored, to allow for multiple views.



Constructors
------------

.. rst-class:: interim-class

.. class:: TextChildAnchor
   :no-index:


   .. classmethod:: new() -> ~gi.repository.Gtk.TextChildAnchor

      Creates a new ``GtkTextChildAnchor``.

      Usually you would then insert it into a ``GtkTextBuffer`` with
      :obj:`~gi.repository.Gtk.TextBuffer.insert_child_anchor`. To perform the
      creation and insertion in one step, use the convenience
      function :obj:`~gi.repository.Gtk.TextBuffer.create_child_anchor`.










   .. classmethod:: new_with_replacement(character: str) -> ~gi.repository.Gtk.TextChildAnchor

      Creates a new ``GtkTextChildAnchor`` with the given replacement character.

      Usually you would then insert it into a ``GtkTextBuffer`` with
      :obj:`~gi.repository.Gtk.TextBuffer.insert_child_anchor`.

Methods
-------

.. rst-class:: interim-class

.. class:: TextChildAnchor
   :no-index:


   .. method:: get_deleted() -> bool

      Determines whether a child anchor has been deleted from
      the buffer.

      Keep in mind that the child anchor will be unreferenced
      when removed from the buffer, so you need to hold your own
      reference (with :func:`~gi.repository.GObject.GObject.Object.ref`) if you plan to use this
      function — otherwise all deleted child anchors will also
      be finalized.










   .. method:: get_widgets() -> list[~gi.repository.Gtk.Widget]

      Gets a list of all widgets anchored at this child anchor.

      The order in which the widgets are returned is not defined.
