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, intflags, 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 QwtPlainTextEngine, QwtRichTextEngine, and QwtMathMLTextEngine.

   virtual double QwtTextEngine::heightForWidth (const QFont &font, intflags, const QString &text, doublewidth)
       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 QwtPlainTextEngine, QwtRichTextEngine, 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 QwtPlainTextEngine, QwtRichTextEngine, 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 aligend 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 QwtPlainTextEngine, QwtRichTextEngine, and QwtMathMLTextEngine.

   virtual QSizeF QwtTextEngine::textSize (const QFont &font, intflags, 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:
           Caluclated size

       Implemented in QwtPlainTextEngine, QwtRichTextEngine, and QwtMathMLTextEngine.
