.SH "Detailed Description"
.PP 
Abstract base class for rendering text strings. 

A text engine is responsible for rendering texts for a specific text format. They are used by \fBQwtText\fP to render a text.
.PP
\fBQwtPlainTextEngine\fP and \fBQwtRichTextEngine\fP are part of the Qwt library.
.PP
\fBQwtMathMLTextEngine\fP can be found in Qwt MathML extension, that needs the MathML renderer of the Qt solutions package. Unfortunately it is only available with a commercial Qt license.

Implemented in \fBQwtPlainTextEngine\fP, \fBQwtRichTextEngine\fP, and \fBQwtMathMLTextEngine\fP.
.SS "virtual int QwtTextEngine::heightForWidth (const QFont &font, intflags, const QString &text, intwidth) const\fC [pure virtual]\fP"Find the height for a given width
.PP
\fBParameters:\fP
.RS 4
\fIfont\fP Font of the text 
.br
\fIflags\fP Bitwise OR of the flags used like in QPainter::drawText

.SS "virtual void QwtTextEngine::textMargins (const QFont &font, const QString &text, int &left, int &right, int &top, int &bottom) const\fC [pure virtual]\fP"Return margins around the texts
.PP
The textSize might include margins around the text, like QFontMetrics::descent. In situations where texts need to be aligend in detail, knowing these margins might improve the layout calculations.
.PP
\fBParameters:\fP
.RS 4
\fIfont\fP Font of the text 
.br
\fItext\fP Text to be rendered 
.br
\fIleft\fP Return value for the left margin 
.br
\fIright\fP Return value for the right margin 
.br
\fItop\fP Return value for the top margin 
.br
\fIbottom\fP Return value for the bottom margin
