)
static

Draws a single component of rendered text using the specified settings.

Parameters
rectdestination rectangle for text
rotationtext rotation
alignmenthorizontal alignment
textLineslist of lines of text to draw
contextrender context
formattext format
partcomponent of text to draw. Note that Shadow parts cannot be drawn individually and instead are drawn with their associated part (e.g., drawn together with the text or background parts)
drawAsOutlinesset to false to render text as text. This allows outputs to formats like SVG to maintain text as text objects, but at the cost of degraded rendering and may result in side effects like misaligned text buffers. This setting is deprecated and has no effect as of QGIS 3.4.3 and the text format should be set using QgsRenderContext::setTextRenderFormat() instead.

◆ fontMetrics()

QFontMetricsF QgsTextRenderer::fontMetrics ( QgsRenderContext context,
const QgsTextFormat format,
double  scaleFactor = 1.0 
)
static

Returns the font metrics for the given text format, when rendered in the specified render context.

The font metrics will take into account all scaling required by the render context.

The optional scaleFactor argument can specify a font size scaling factor. It is recommended to set this to QgsTextRenderer::FONT_WORKAROUND_SCALE and then manually scale painter devices or calculations based on the resultant font metrics. Failure to do so will result in poor quality text rendering at small font sizes.

QGIS 3.2

Definition at line 280 of file qgstextrenderer.cpp.

int QgsTextRenderer::sizeToPixel ( double  size,
const QgsRenderContext c,

)
static

Calculates pixel size (considering output size should be in pixel or map units, scale factors and optionally oversampling)

Parameters
sizesize to convert
crendercontext
unitsize units
mapUnitScalea mapUnitScale clamper
Returns
font pixel size

double QgsTextRenderer::textHeight ( const QgsRenderContext context,
const QgsTextFormat format,
QChar  character,
bool  includeEffects = false 
)
static

Returns the height of a character when rendered with the specified text format.

Parameters
contextrender context
formattext format
charactercharacter to determine height of. If character is invalid, then the maximum character height will be returned.
includeEffectsif true, then the size of formatting effects such as buffers and shadows will be considered in the returned height. If false, then the returned size considers the character only.

◆ FONT_WORKAROUND_SCALE

constexpr double QgsTextRenderer::FONT_WORKAROUND_SCALE = 10
staticconstexpr

Scale factor for upscaling font sizes and downscaling destination painter devices.

Using this scale factor and manually adjusting any font metric based calculations results in more stable font metrics and sizes for small font sizes.
