## Member Function Documentation

void QwtPlainTextEngine::draw | ( | QPainter * | painter,
|  | const QRect & | rect,
|  | int | flags,
|  | const QString & | text |
| ) |  |  | const`[virtual]`

Draw the text in a clipping rectangle.

A wrapper for QPainter::drawText.

Parameters:

  | painter | Painter
  | rect | Clipping rectangle
  | flags | Bitwise OR of the flags used like in QPainter::drawText
  | text | Text to be rendered

Implements QwtTextEngine.

int QwtPlainTextEngine::heightForWidth | ( | const QFont & | font,
|  | int | flags,
|  | const QString & | text,
|  | int | width |
| ) |  |  | const`[virtual]`

Find the height for a given width

Parameters:

  | font | Font of the text
  | flags | Bitwise OR of the flags used like in QPainter::drawText
  | text | Text to be rendered
  | width | Width

Returns:
  Calculated height

Implements QwtTextEngine.

bool QwtPlainTextEngine::mightRender | ( | const QString & |  | ) | const`[virtual]`

Test if a string can be rendered by this text engine.

Returns:
  Always true. All texts can be rendered by QwtPlainTextEngine

Implements QwtTextEngine.

void QwtPlainTextEngine::textMargins | ( | const QFont & | font,
|  | const QString & | ,
|  | int & | left,
|  | int & | right,
|  | int & | top,
|  | int & | bottom |
| ) |  |  | const`[virtual]`

Return margins around the texts

Parameters:

  | font | Font of the text
  | left | Return 0
  | right | Return 0
  | top | Return value for the top margin
  | bottom | Return value for the bottom margin

Implements QwtTextEngine.

QSize QwtPlainTextEngine::textSize | ( | const QFont & | font,
|  | int | flags,
|  | const QString & | text |
| ) |  |  | const`[virtual]`

Returns the size, that is needed to render text

Parameters:

  | font | Font of the text
  | flags | Bitwise OR of the flags used like in QPainter::drawText
  | text | Text to be rendered

Returns:
  Caluclated size
