◆ convertQtVAlignment()

Qgis::TextVerticalAlignment QgsTextRenderer::convertQtVAlignment ( Qt::Alignment  alignment)

◆ drawDocument()

const QgsTextFormat format,
const QgsTextDocument document,
const QgsTextDocumentMetrics metrics,
QgsRenderContext context,
Qgis::TextHorizontalAlignment  horizontalAlignment = Qgis::TextHorizontalAlignment::Left,

double  rotation = 0,
Qgis::TextLayoutMode  mode = Qgis::TextLayoutMode::Rectangle,
Qgis::TextRendererFlags  flags = Qgis::TextRendererFlags() 
)
static

Draws a text document within a rectangle using the specified settings.

Calling this method is more efficient than calling drawText() if the text document and metrics have already been calculated.

Warning
Unlike drawText(), this method does not automatically update data defined properties in the text format. This is the caller's responsibility to do, and must be done prior to generating the text document and metrics.
Parameters
rectdestination rectangle for text, in painter units
formatbase text format
documenttext document to draw
metricsprecalculated text metrics
contextdestination render context
horizontalAlignmenthorizontal alignment
verticalAlignmentvertical alignment
rotationtext rotation
modetext layout mode. Only Qgis::TextLayoutMode::Rectangle, Qgis::TextLayoutMode::RectangleCapHeightBased and Qgis::TextLayoutMode::RectangleAscentBased are accepted.

const QgsTextDocument document,

double  offsetFromLine = 0 
)
static

Draws a text document along a line using the specified settings.

Parameters
lineline to render text along, in painter units
formattext format
documenttext document to draw
contextrender context
offsetAlongLineoffset along the line (in painter units) to start text at
offsetFromLineoffset from the line (in painter units). Negative values will shift the text to the left of the line, positive values will shift the text to the right.

QgsRenderContext context,

)
static

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

Parameters
rectdestination rectangle for text, in painter units
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.

lineline to render text along, in painter units
texttext to draw
contextrender context
formattext format
offsetAlongLineoffset along the line (in painter units) to start text at
offsetFromLineoffset from the line (in painter units). Negative values will shift the text to the left of the line, positive values will shift the text to the right.

◆ 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.

Since
QGIS 3.2

Definition at line 550 of file qgstextrenderer.cpp.

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,

QChar  character,
bool  includeEffects = false 
)
static

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

Parameters
contextrender context

Since
QGIS 3.16

Definition at line 883 of file qgstextrenderer.cpp.
