Text.getTextAtOffset

Warning atk_text_get_text_at_offset is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code. This method is deprecated since ATK version 2.9.4. Please use atk_text_get_string_at_offset() instead. Gets the specified text. If the boundary_type if ATK_TEXT_BOUNDARY_CHAR the character at the offset is returned. If the boundary_type is ATK_TEXT_BOUNDARY_WORD_START the returned string is from the word start at or before the offset to the word start after the offset. The returned string will contain the word at the offset if the offset is inside a word and will contain the word before the offset if the offset is not inside a word. If the boundary type is ATK_TEXT_BOUNDARY_SENTENCE_START the returned string is from the sentence start at or before the offset to the sentence start after the offset. The returned string will contain the sentence at the offset if the offset is inside a sentence and will contain the sentence before the offset if the offset is not inside a sentence. If the boundary type is ATK_TEXT_BOUNDARY_LINE_START the returned string is from the line start at or before the offset to the line start after the offset.
