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 QwtTextEngine for this format.
Background
 

A text might have a background, defined by a QPen and QBrush to improve its visibility.
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.
See also:
QwtTextEngine, QwtTextLabel

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum QwtText::LayoutAttribute

Layout Attributes. The layout attributes affects some aspects of the layout of the text.
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.
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.
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 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 Qt solutions package. Unfortunately it is only available for owners of a commercial Qt license.
TeXText
 

Use a TeX (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeX) render engine to display the text.
OtherFormat
 

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

QwtTextEngine, setTextEngine()

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

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

Constructor
Parameters:
text Text content
 
textFormat Text format

Member Function Documentation

QBrush QwtText::backgroundBrush () const

Returns:
Background brush
See also:
setBackgroundBrush(), backgroundPen()

QPen QwtText::backgroundPen () const

Returns:
Background pen
See also:
setBackgroundPen(), backgroundBrush()

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

Draw a text into a rectangle
Parameters:
painter Painter
 
rect Rectangle

int QwtText::heightForWidth (intwidth, 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]

Returns:
text().isNull()

int QwtText::renderFlags () const

Returns:
Render flags
See also:
setRenderFlags()

void QwtText::setBackgroundBrush (const QBrush &brush)

Set the background brush
Parameters:
brush Background brush
See also:
backgroundBrush(), setBackgroundPen()

void QwtText::setBackgroundPen (const QPen &pen)

Set the background pen
Parameters:
pen Background pen
See also:
backgroundPen(), setBackgroundBrush()

void QwtText::setColor (const QColor &color)

Set the pen color used for painting the text.
Parameters:
color Color
Note:
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::setLayoutAttribute ( LayoutAttributeattribute, boolon = true)

Change a layout attribute
Parameters:
attribute Layout attribute
 
on On/Off
See also:
testLayoutAttribute()

void QwtText::setPaintAttribute ( PaintAttributeattribute, boolon = true)

Change a paint attribute
Parameters:
attribute Paint attribute
 
on On/Off
Note:
Used by setFont(), setColor(), setBackgroundPen() and setBackgroundBrush()
See also:
testPaintAttribute()

void QwtText::setRenderFlags (intrenderFlags)

Change the render flags. The default setting is Qt::AlignCenter
Parameters:
renderFlags Bitwise OR of the flags used like in QPainter::drawText
See also:
renderFlags(), QwtTextEngine::draw()
Note:
Some renderFlags might have no effect, depending on the text format.

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

Assign a new text content
Parameters:
text Text content
 
textFormat Text format
See also:
text()

void QwtText::setTextEngine ( QwtText::TextFormatformat, 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.
Owner of a commercial Qt license can build the qwtmathml library, that is based on the MathML renderer, that is included in MML Widget component of the Qt solutions package.
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 ( LayoutAttributeattribute) const

Test a layout attribute
Parameters:
attribute Layout attribute
Returns:
true, if attribute is enabled
See also:
setLayoutAttribute()

bool QwtText::testPaintAttribute ( PaintAttributeattribute) const

Test a paint attribute
Parameters:
attribute Paint attribute
Returns:
true, if attribute is enabled
See also:
setPaintAttribute()

QString QwtText::text () const

Return the text.
See also:
setText()

const QwtTextEngine * QwtText::textEngine (const QString &text, QwtText::TextFormatformat = 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 returnd.
If no text engine is registered for the format QwtPlainTextEngine is returnd.
Parameters:
text Text, needed in case of AutoText
 
format Text format

const QwtTextEngine * QwtText::textEngine (QwtText::TextFormatformat) [static]

Find the text engine for a text format. textEngine can be used to find out if a text format is supported. F.e, if one wants to use MathML labels, the MathML renderer from the commercial Qt solutions package might be required, that is not available in Qt Open Source Edition environments.
Parameters:
format Text format
Returns:
The text engine, or NULL if no engine is available.

QSize QwtText::textSize (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
Returns:
Calculated height
Returns the size, that is needed to render text
Parameters:
defaultFont Font of the text
Returns:
Caluclated size

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

Return the color of the text, if it has one. Otherwise return defaultColor.
Parameters:
defaultColor Default color
See also:
setColor(), color(), PaintAttributes

QFont QwtText::usedFont (const QFont &defaultFont) const

Return the font of the text, if it has one. Otherwise return defaultFont.
Parameters:
defaultFont Default font
