◆ convertQtHAlignment()

Qgis::TextHorizontalAlignment QgsTextRenderer::convertQtHAlignment ( Qt::Alignment alignment )

static

Converts a Qt horizontal alignment flag to a Qgis::TextHorizontalAlignment value.

See also: convertQtVAlignment()

Since: QGIS 3.16

Definition at line 50 of file qgstextrenderer.cpp.

◆ convertQtVAlignment()

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

static

Converts a Qt vertical alignment flag to a Qgis::TextVerticalAlignment value.

See also: convertQtHAlignment()

Since: QGIS 3.16

Definition at line 65 of file qgstextrenderer.cpp.

◆ drawDocument()

void QgsTextRenderer::drawDocument	(	const QRectF &	rect,
		const QgsTextFormat &	format,
		const QgsTextDocument &	document,
		const QgsTextDocumentMetrics &	metrics,
		QgsRenderContext &	context,
		Qgis::TextHorizontalAlignment	horizontalAlignment = `Qgis::TextHorizontalAlignment::Left`,
		Qgis::TextVerticalAlignment	verticalAlignment = `Qgis::TextVerticalAlignment::Top`,
		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

rect	destination rectangle for text, in painter units
format	base text format
document	text document to draw
metrics	precalculated text metrics
context	destination render context
horizontalAlignment	horizontal alignment
verticalAlignment	vertical alignment
rotation	text rotation
mode	text layout mode. Only Qgis::TextLayoutMode::Rectangle, Qgis::TextLayoutMode::RectangleCapHeightBased and Qgis::TextLayoutMode::RectangleAscentBased are accepted.
flags	text rendering flags

Since: QGIS 3.30

Definition at line 116 of file qgstextrenderer.cpp.

◆ drawDocumentOnLine()

void QgsTextRenderer::drawDocumentOnLine	(	const QPolygonF &	line,
		const QgsTextFormat &	format,
		const QgsTextDocument &	document,
		QgsRenderContext &	context,
		double	offsetAlongLine = `0`,
		double	offsetFromLine = `0`
	)

static

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

Parameters

line	line to render text along, in painter units
format	text format
document	text document to draw
context	render context
offsetAlongLine	offset along the line (in painter units) to start text at
offsetFromLine	offset 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.

Since: QGIS 3.32

Definition at line 175 of file qgstextrenderer.cpp.

◆ drawPart() [1/2]

void QgsTextRenderer::drawPart	(	const QRectF &	rect,
		double	rotation,
		Qgis::TextHorizontalAlignment	alignment,
		const QStringList &	textLines,
		QgsRenderContext &	context,
		const QgsTextFormat &	format,
		Qgis::TextComponent	part,
		bool	drawAsOutlines = `true`
	)

static

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

Parameters

rect	destination rectangle for text, in painter units
rotation	text rotation
alignment	horizontal alignment
textLines	list of lines of text to draw
context	render context
format	text format
part	component 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)
drawAsOutlines	set 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.

Deprecated:: Private API only, will be removed in 4.0

		double	offsetAlongLine = `0`,
		double	offsetFromLine = `0`
	)

static

Draws text along a line using the specified settings.

line	line to render text along, in painter units
text	text to draw
context	render context
format	text format
offsetAlongLine	offset along the line (in painter units) to start text at
offsetFromLine	offset 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.

Since: QGIS 3.32

Definition at line 159 of file qgstextrenderer.cpp.

◆ 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.

		const QgsRenderContext &	c,
		Qgis::RenderUnit	unit,
		const QgsMapUnitScale &	mapUnitScale = `QgsMapUnitScale()`
	)

static

Calculates pixel size (considering output size should be in pixel or map units, scale factors and optionally oversampling)

Parameters

size	size to convert
c	rendercontext
unit	size units
mapUnitScale	a mapUnitScale clamper

Returns: font pixel size

Definition at line 80 of file qgstextrenderer.cpp.

format	text format
textLines	list of lines of text to calculate width from
mode	draw mode
fontMetrics	font metrics

maxLineWidth	maximum line width, in painter units. Used when the Qgis::TextRendererFlag::WrapLines flag is used (since QGIS 3.24)

Definition at line 858 of file qgstextrenderer.cpp.

◆ textHeight() [2/2]

double QgsTextRenderer::textHeight	(	const QgsRenderContext &	context,
		const QgsTextFormat &	format,
		QChar	character,
		bool	includeEffects = `false`
	)

static

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

Parameters

context	render context
format	text format
character	character to determine height of. If character is invalid, then the maximum character height will be returned.
includeEffects	if `true`, then the size of formatting effects such as buffers and shadows will be considered in the returned height. If `false`, then the returned size considers the character only.

Since: QGIS 3.16
