Detailed Description

Abstract base class for rendering text strings.

A text engine is responsible for rendering texts for a specific text format. They are used by QwtText to render a text.

QwtPlainTextEngine and QwtRichTextEngine are part of the Qwt library.

QwtMathMLTextEngine 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.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void QwtTextEngine::draw ( QPainter *  painter, const QRect &  rect, int  flags, const QString &  text  ) const

pure virtual

Draw the text in a clipping rectangle

Parameters:

painter	Painter
rect	Clipping rectangle
flags	Bitwise OR of the flags like in for QPainter::drawText
text	Text to be rendered

Implemented in QwtRichTextEngine, QwtPlainTextEngine, and QwtMathMLTextEngine.

virtual int QwtTextEngine::heightForWidth ( const QFont &  font, int  flags, const QString &  text, int  width  ) const

pure virtual

Find the height for a given width

Parameters:

font	Font of the text
flags	Bitwise OR of the flags used like in QPainter::drawText
text	Text to be rendered
width	Width

Returns:

Calculated height

Implemented in QwtRichTextEngine, QwtPlainTextEngine, and QwtMathMLTextEngine.

virtual bool QwtTextEngine::mightRender ( const QString &  text ) const

pure virtual

Test if a string can be rendered by this text engine

Parameters:

text	Text to be tested

Returns:

true, if it can be rendered

Implemented in QwtRichTextEngine, QwtPlainTextEngine, and QwtMathMLTextEngine.

virtual void QwtTextEngine::textMargins ( const QFont &  font, const QString &  text, int &  left, int &  right, int &  top, int &  bottom  ) const

pure virtual

Return margins around the texts

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.

Parameters:

font	Font of the text
text	Text to be rendered
left	Return value for the left margin
right	Return value for the right margin
top	Return value for the top margin
bottom	Return value for the bottom margin

Implemented in QwtRichTextEngine, QwtPlainTextEngine, and QwtMathMLTextEngine.

virtual QSize QwtTextEngine::textSize ( const QFont &  font, int  flags, const QString &  text  ) const

pure virtual

Returns the size, that is needed to render text

Parameters:

font	Font of the text
flags	Bitwise OR of the flags like in for QPainter::drawText
text	Text to be rendered

Returns:

Caluclated size

Implemented in QwtRichTextEngine, QwtPlainTextEngine, and QwtMathMLTextEngine.
