Detailed Description

       Abstract base class for rendering text strings.

       A text engine is responsible for rendering texts for a specific text format. They are used
       by QwtText to render a text.

       QwtPlainTextEngine and QwtRichTextEngine are part of the Qwt library. The implementation
       of QwtMathMLTextEngine uses code from the Qt solution package. Because of license
       implications it is built into a separate library.

Member Function Documentation

   virtual void QwtTextEngine::draw (QPainter * painter, const QRectF & rect, int flags, const
       QString & text) const [pure virtual]
       Draw the text in a clipping rectangle

       Parameters:
           painter Painter
           rect Clipping rectangle
           flags Bitwise OR of the flags like in for QPainter::drawText()
           text Text to be rendered

       Implemented in QwtRichTextEngine, QwtPlainTextEngine, and QwtMathMLTextEngine.

   virtual double QwtTextEngine::heightForWidth (const QFont & font, int flags, const QString &
       text, double width) const [pure 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

       Implemented in QwtRichTextEngine, QwtPlainTextEngine, and QwtMathMLTextEngine.

   virtual bool QwtTextEngine::mightRender (const QString & text) const [pure virtual]
       Test if a string can be rendered by this text engine

       Parameters:
           text Text to be tested

       Returns:
           true, if it can be rendered

       Implemented in QwtRichTextEngine, QwtPlainTextEngine, and QwtMathMLTextEngine.

   virtual void QwtTextEngine::textMargins (const QFont & font, const QString & text, double &
       left, double & right, double & top, double & bottom) const [pure virtual]
       Return margins around the texts

       The textSize might include margins around the text, like QFontMetrics::descent(). In
       situations where texts need to be aligned in detail, knowing these margins might improve
       the layout calculations.

       Parameters:
           font Font of the text
           text Text to be rendered
           left Return value for the left margin
           right Return value for the right margin
           top Return value for the top margin
           bottom Return value for the bottom margin

       Implemented in QwtRichTextEngine, QwtPlainTextEngine, and QwtMathMLTextEngine.

   virtual QSizeF QwtTextEngine::textSize (const QFont & font, int flags, const QString & text)
       const [pure virtual]
       Returns the size, that is needed to render text

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

       Returns:
           Calculated size

       Implemented in QwtRichTextEngine, QwtPlainTextEngine, and QwtMathMLTextEngine.
