str4 = TTkString("test 4", TTkColor.ITALIC)

# Named params constructor
str5 = TTkString(text="test 5")
str6 = TTkString(text="test 6", color=TTkColor.ITALIC+TTkColor.bg("000044"))

# Combination of constructors (Highly Unrecommended)
str7 = TTkString("test 7", color=TTkColor.fg('#FF0000'))

• to (int, optional) – the ending of the slice, defaults to the end of the string

tab2spaces(tabSpaces=4)

Return the string representation with the tabs (converted in spaces) trimmed and aligned

tabCharPos(pos, tabSpaces=4, alignTabRight=False)
