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().

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.
