Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ CurvedTextFlag

enum class QgsTextRendererUtils::CurvedTextFlag : int

strong

Flags controlling behavior of curved text generation.

Since: QGIS 3.2

Enumerator
TruncateStringWhenLineIsTooShort	When a string is too long for the line, truncate characters instead of aborting the placement.
UseBaselinePlacement	Generate placement based on the character baselines instead of centers.
UprightCharactersOnly	Permit upright characters only. If not present then upside down text placement is permitted.

Definition at line 149 of file qgstextrendererutils.h.

◆ 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.
