◆ 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 468 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,

		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.
