virtual void QgsCallout::draw ( QgsRenderContext context,
const QRectF &  bodyBoundingBox,
const double  angle,
const QgsGeometry anchor,
QgsCalloutContext calloutContext 
)
protectedpure virtual

Performs the actual rendering of the callout implementation onto the specified render context.

The bodyBoundingBox argument gives the desired size and position of the body of the callout (e.g. the actual label geometry). The angle argument specifies the rotation of the callout body (in degrees clockwise from horizontal). It is assumed that angle rotation specified via angle is applied around the center of rect.

The anchor argument dictates the geometry which the callout should connect to. Depending on the callout subclass and anchor geometry type, the actual shape of the rendered callout may vary. E.g. a subclass may prefer to attach to the centroid of the anchor, while another subclass may prefer to attach to the closest point on anchor instead.

Both rect and anchor are specified in painter coordinates (i.e. pixels).

The calloutContext argument is used to specify additional contextual information about how a callout is being rendered.

Implemented in QgsBalloonCallout, and QgsSimpleLineCallout.

The rect argument gives the desired size and position of the body of the callout (e.g. the actual label geometry). The angle argument specifies the rotation of the callout body (in degrees clockwise from horizontal). It is assumed that angle rotation specified via angle is applied around the center of rect.

The anchor argument dictates the geometry which the callout should connect to. Depending on the callout subclass and anchor geometry type, the actual shape of the rendered callout may vary.

The calloutContext argument is used to specify additional contextual information about how a callout is being rendered.

Warning
A prior call to startRender() must have been made before calling this method, and after all render() operations are complete a call to stopRender() must be made.
