Detailed Description

       A class representing a text.

       A QwtText is a text including a set of attributes how to render it.

       • Format
          A text might include control sequences (f.e tags) describing how to render it. Each
         format (f.e MathML, TeX, Qt Rich Text) has its own set of control sequences, that can be
         handles by a QwtTextEngine for this format.

       • Background
          A text might have a background, defined by a QPen and QBrush to improve its visibility.

       • Font
          A text might have an individual font.

       • Color
          A text might have an individual color.

       • Render Flags
          Flags from Qt::AlignmentFlag and Qt::TextFlag used like in QPainter::drawText.

       See also:
           QwtTextEngine, QwtTextLabel

Member Enumeration Documentation

   enum QwtText::LayoutAttribute
       Layout Attributes. The layout attributes affects some aspects of the layout of the text.

       • MinimumLayout
          Layout the text without its margins. This mode is useful if a text needs to be aligned
         accurately, like the tick labels of a scale. If QwtTextEngine::textMargins is not
         implemented for the format of the text, MinimumLayout has no effect.

   enum QwtText::PaintAttribute
       Paint Attributes. Font and color and background are optional attributes of a QwtText. The
       paint attributes hold the information, if they are set.

       • PaintUsingTextFont
          The text has an individual font.

       • PaintUsingTextColor
          The text has an individual color.

       • PaintBackground
          The text has an individual background.

   enum QwtText::TextFormat
       Text format. The text format defines the QwtTextEngine, that is used to render the text.

       • AutoText
          The text format is determined using QwtTextEngine::mightRender for all available text
         engines in increasing order > PlainText. If none of the text engines can render the text
         is rendered like PlainText.

       • PlainText
          Draw the text as it is, using a QwtPlainTextEngine.

       • RichText
          Use the Scribe framework (Qt Rich Text) to render the text.

       • MathMLText
          Use a MathML (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MathML) render engine to display the text.
         The Qwt MathML extension offers such an engine based on the MathML renderer of the Qt
         solutions package. Unfortunately it is only available for owners of a commercial Qt
         license.

       • TeXText
          Use a TeX (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeX) render engine to display the text.

       • OtherFormat
          The number of text formats can be extended using setTextEngine. Formats >= OtherFormat
         are not used by Qwt.

       For QwtText::PlainText it is not allowed to assign a engine == NULL.

       Parameters:
           format Text format
           engine Text engine

           QwtMathMLTextEngine

       Warning:
           Using QwtText::AutoText does nothing.

   bool QwtText::testLayoutAttribute (LayoutAttributeattribute) const
       Test a layout attribute

       Parameters:
           attribute Layout attribute

       Returns:
           true, if attribute is enabled

       See also:
           setLayoutAttribute()

   bool QwtText::testPaintAttribute (PaintAttributeattribute) const
       Test a paint attribute

       Parameters:
           attribute Paint attribute

       Returns:
           true, if attribute is enabled

       See also:
           setPaintAttribute()

   QString QwtText::text () const
       Return the text.

       See also:
           setText()

   const QwtTextEngine * QwtText::textEngine (const QString &text, QwtText::TextFormatformat =
       AutoText) [static]
       Find the text engine for a text format

       In case of QwtText::AutoText the first text engine (beside QwtPlainTextEngine) is
       returned, where QwtTextEngine::mightRender returns true. If there is none
       QwtPlainTextEngine is returnd.

       If no text engine is registered for the format QwtPlainTextEngine is returnd.

       Parameters:
           text Text, needed in case of AutoText
           format Text format

   const QwtTextEngine * QwtText::textEngine (QwtText::TextFormatformat) [static]
       Find the text engine for a text format. textEngine can be used to find out if a text
       format is supported. F.e, if one wants to use MathML labels, the MathML renderer from the
       commercial Qt solutions package might be required, that is not available in Qt Open Source
       Edition environments.

       Parameters:
           format Text format

       Returns:
           The text engine, or NULL if no engine is available.

           Calculated height

       Returns the size, that is needed to render text

       Parameters:
           defaultFont Font of the text

       Returns:
           Caluclated size

   QColor QwtText::usedColor (const QColor &defaultColor) const
       Return the color of the text, if it has one. Otherwise return defaultColor.

       Parameters:
           defaultColor Default color

       See also:
           setColor(), color(), PaintAttributes

   QFont QwtText::usedFont (const QFont &defaultFont) const
       Return the font of the text, if it has one. Otherwise return defaultFont.

       Parameters:
           defaultFont Default font
