Member Enumeration Documentation

LabelLineDirection

enum QgsTextRendererUtils::LabelLineDirection

Controls behavior of curved text with respect to line directions.

Enumerator
RespectPainterOrientation	Curved text will be placed respecting the painter orientation, and the actual line direction will be ignored.
FollowLineDirection	Curved text placement will respect the line direction and ignore painter orientation.

Definition at line 138 of file qgstextrendererutils.h.

Definition at line 60 of file qgstextrendererutils.cpp.

decodeBackgroundSizeType()

QgsTextBackgroundSettings::SizeType QgsTextRendererUtils::decodeBackgroundSizeType ( const QString &  string )

static

Decodes a string representation of a background size type to a type.

Definition at line 47 of file qgstextrendererutils.cpp.

decodeShadowPlacementType()

QgsTextShadowSettings::ShadowPlacement QgsTextRendererUtils::decodeShadowPlacementType ( const QString &  string )

static

Decodes a string representation of a shadow placement type to a type.

Definition at line 77 of file qgstextrendererutils.cpp.

decodeShapeType()

QgsTextBackgroundSettings::ShapeType QgsTextRendererUtils::decodeShapeType ( const QString &  string )

static

Definition at line 19 of file qgstextrendererutils.cpp.

decodeTextOrientation()

Qgis::TextOrientation QgsTextRendererUtils::decodeTextOrientation ( const QString &  name, bool *  ok = nullptr  )

static

Attempts to decode a string representation of a text orientation.

Parameters

name	encoded text orientation name
ok	if specified, will be set to true if the name was successfully decoded

Returns

decoded text orientation

encodeTextOrientation()

Definition at line 112 of file qgstextrendererutils.cpp.

encodeTextOrientation()

QString QgsTextRendererUtils::encodeTextOrientation ( Qgis::TextOrientation  orientation )

static

Encodes a text orientation.

Returns

encoded string

decodeTextOrientation()

Definition at line 98 of file qgstextrendererutils.cpp.

generateCurvedTextPlacement()

QgsTextRendererUtils::CurvePlacementProperties * QgsTextRendererUtils::generateCurvedTextPlacement ( const QgsPrecalculatedTextMetrics &  metrics, const double *  x, const double *  y, int  numPoints, const std::vector< double > &  pathDistances, double  offsetAlongLine, LabelLineDirection  direction = RespectPainterOrientation, double  maxConcaveAngle = -1, double  maxConvexAngle = -1, bool  uprightOnly = true  )

static

Calculates curved text placement properties.

Parameters

metrics	precalculated text metrics for text to render
x	array of linestring x coordinates
y	array of linestring y coordinates
numPoints	number of points in x, y arrays
pathDistances	vector of precalculated distances between vertices in x, y arrays
offsetAlongLine	offset along line at which to start the curved text placement
direction	controls placement of text with respect to painter orientation or line direction
maxConcaveAngle	maximum angle between characters for concave text, or -1 if not set
maxConvexAngle	maximum angle between characters for convex text, or -1 if not set
uprightOnly	set to true if text should be placed in an upright orientation only, or false to allow upside down text placement

Returns

calculated placement properties, or nullptr if placement could not be calculated. Caller takes ownership of the returned placement.
