Detailed Description

A class representing a text.

A QwtText is a text including a set of attributes how to render it.

•

Format

A text might include control sequences (f.e tags) describing how to render it. Each format (f.e MathML, TeX, Qt Rich Text) has its own set of control sequences, that can be handles by a special QwtTextEngine for this format.

•

Background

A text might have a background, defined by a QPen and QBrush to improve its visibility. The corners of the background might be rounded.

•

Font

A text might have an individual font.

•

Color

A text might have an individual color.

•

Render Flags

Flags from Qt::AlignmentFlag and Qt::TextFlag used like in QPainter::drawText().

QwtTextEngine , QwtTextLabel

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum QwtText::LayoutAttribute

Layout Attributes The layout attributes affects some aspects of the layout of the text.

Enumerator
MinimumLayout

Layout the text without its margins. This mode is useful if a text needs to be aligned accurately, like the tick labels of a scale. If QwtTextEngine::textMargins is not implemented for the format of the text, MinimumLayout has no effect.

enum QwtText::PaintAttribute

Paint Attributes. Font and color and background are optional attributes of a QwtText . The paint attributes hold the information, if they are set.

Enumerator
PaintUsingTextFont

The text has an individual font.

PaintUsingTextColor

The text has an individual color.

PaintBackground

The text has an individual background.

enum QwtText::TextFormat

Text format. The text format defines the QwtTextEngine , that is used to render the text.

See also:

QwtTextEngine , setTextEngine()

Enumerator
AutoText

The text format is determined using QwtTextEngine::mightRender() for all available text engines in increasing order > PlainText. If none of the text engines can render the text is rendered like QwtText::PlainText .

PlainText

Draw the text as it is, using a QwtPlainTextEngine .

RichText

Use the Scribe framework (Qt Rich Text) to render the text.

MathMLText

Use a MathML (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MathML) render engine to display the text. The Qwt MathML extension offers such an engine based on the MathML renderer of the former Qt solutions package. To enable MathML support the following code needs to be added to the application:

QwtText::setTextEngine( QwtText::MathMLText, new QwtMathMLTextEngine() );
TeXText

Use a TeX (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeX) render engine to display the text ( not implemented yet ).

OtherFormat

The number of text formats can be extended using setTextEngine. Formats >= QwtText::OtherFormat are not used by Qwt.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QwtText::QwtText (const QString & text = QString(), QwtText::TextFormattextFormat = AutoText)

Constructor

Parameters:

text Text content
textFormat Text format

Member Function Documentation

QBrush QwtText::backgroundBrush () const

Returns:

Background brush

See also:

setBackgroundBrush() , borderPen()

QPen QwtText::borderPen () const

Returns:

Background pen

See also:

double QwtText::borderRadius () const

Returns:

Radius for the corners of the border frame

See also:

setBorderRadius() , borderPen() , backgroundBrush()

void QwtText::draw (QPainter * painter, const QRectF & rect) const

Draw a text into a rectangle

Parameters:

painter Painter
rect Rectangle

double QwtText::heightForWidth (double width, const QFont & defaultFont =QFont()) const

Find the height for a given width

Parameters:

defaultFont Font, used for the calculation if the text has no font
width Width

Returns:

Calculated height

bool QwtText::isEmpty () const [inline]

Returns:

text() . isEmpty()

bool QwtText::isNull () const [inline]

void QwtText::setColor (const QColor & color)

Set the pen color used for drawing the text.

Setting the color might have no effect, when the text contains control sequences for setting colors.

void QwtText::setFont (const QFont & font)

Set the font.

Parameters:

font Font

Note:

Setting the font might have no effect, when the text contains control sequences for setting fonts.

void QwtText::setTextEngine (QwtText::TextFormat format, QwtTextEngine *engine) [static]

Assign/Replace a text engine for a text format

With setTextEngine it is possible to extend Qwt with other types of text formats.

For QwtText::PlainText it is not allowed to assign a engine == NULL.

Parameters:

format Text format
engine Text engine

See also:

QwtMathMLTextEngine

Warning:

Using QwtText::AutoText does nothing.

bool QwtText::testLayoutAttribute (LayoutAttribute attribute) const

Test a layout attribute

Parameters:

attribute Layout attribute

bool QwtText::testPaintAttribute (PaintAttribute attribute) const

Test a paint attribute

Parameters:

attribute Paint attribute

Returns:

true, if attribute is enabled

See also:

setText()

const QwtTextEngine * QwtText::textEngine (const QString & text,QwtText::TextFormat format = AutoText) [static]

Find the text engine for a text format

In case of QwtText::AutoText the first text engine (beside QwtPlainTextEngine ) is returned, where QwtTextEngine::mightRender returns true. If there is none QwtPlainTextEngine is returned.

If no text engine is registered for the format QwtPlainTextEngine is returnd.

Parameters:

text Text, needed in case of AutoText
format Text format

Returns:

Corresponding text engine

const QwtTextEngine * QwtText::textEngine (QwtText::TextFormat format)[static]

Find the text engine for a text format. textEngine can be used to find out if a text format is supported.

Parameters:

format Text format

Returns:

The text engine, or NULL if no engine is available.

QSizeF QwtText::textSize (const QFont & defaultFont = QFont()) const

Returns the size, that is needed to render text

Parameters:

defaultFont Font of the text

Returns:

Calculated size

QColor QwtText::usedColor (const QColor & defaultColor) const

Return the color of the text, if it has one. Otherwise return defaultColor.

Parameters:
