Member Function Documentation

◆ calculatePrettySize()

double QgsLayoutUtils::calculatePrettySize ( double  minimumSize,
double  maximumSize 
)
static

Calculates a "pretty" size which falls between the range [minimumSize, maximumSize].

This method will return an optimal round number which falls within the given range, finding the largest "pretty" number possible.

Since
QGIS 3.10

Definition at line 460 of file qgslayoututils.cpp.

◆ createRenderContextForLayout()

QgsRenderContext QgsLayoutUtils::createRenderContextForLayout ( QgsLayout layout,
QPainter *  painter,
double  dpi = -1 
)
static

Creates a render context suitable for the specified layout and painter destination.

This method returns a new QgsRenderContext which matches the scale and settings from the layout's QgsLayout::referenceMap(). If the dpi argument is not specified then the dpi will be taken from the destination painter device.

See also
createRenderContextForMap()

Definition at line 143 of file qgslayoututils.cpp.

◆ createRenderContextForMap()

QgsRenderContext QgsLayoutUtils::createRenderContextForMap ( QgsLayoutItemMap map,
QPainter *  painter,
double  dpi = -1 
)
static

Creates a render context suitable for the specified layout map and painter destination.

This method returns a new QgsRenderContext which matches the scale and settings of the target map. If the dpi argument is not specified then the dpi will be taken from the destination painter device.

See also
createRenderContextForLayout()

Definition at line 99 of file qgslayoututils.cpp.

◆ decodePaperOrientation()

QgsLayoutItemPage::Orientation QgsLayoutUtils::decodePaperOrientation ( const QString &  string,
bool &  ok 
)
static

Decodes a string representing a paper orientation and returns the decoded orientation.

If the string was correctly decoded, ok will be set to true.

Definition at line 384 of file qgslayoututils.cpp.

◆ drawText() [1/2]

void QgsLayoutUtils::drawText ( QPainter *  painter,
const QRectF &  rectangle,
const QString &  text,
const QFont &  font,
const QColor &  color = QColor(),
Qt::AlignmentFlag  halignment = Qt::AlignLeft,
Qt::AlignmentFlag  valignment = Qt::AlignTop,
int  flags = Qt::TextWordWrap 
)
static

Draws text on a painter within a rectangle, taking care of layout specific issues (calculation to pixel, scaling of font and painter to work around Qt font bugs).

If color is specified, text will be rendered in that color. If not specified, the current painter pen color will be used instead.

The text alignment within rectangle can be set via the halignment and valignment arguments.

The flags parameter allows for passing Qt::TextFlags to control appearance of rendered text.

)
static

Draws text on a painter at a specific position, taking care of layout specific issues (calculation to pixel, scaling of font and painter to work around Qt font bugs).

If color is specified, text will be rendered in that color. If not specified, the current painter pen color will be used instead.
