[Solved] Export QPlainTextEdit to SVG

[dvillalobos]

Hi all,

I have an slot to export the context of a class of type QPlainTextEdit to SVG, here is my code, but it does not work, any ideas?

@
QApplication::setOverrideCursor(Qt::WaitCursor);
QFileDialog fileDialog;
fileDialog.setDirectory(QDir::home());
QString file = fileDialog.getSaveFileName(this, tr("Save to Svg"), settings.value("LastFileSvg", QDir::home().absolutePath()).toString(), tr("Svg files (*.svg)"));
settings.setValue("LastFileSvg", fileDialog.directory().filePath(file));
QSvgGenerator svg;
svg.setFileName(file);
QRect rect = printer.pageRect().adjusted(25, 25, -25, 25);
svg.setSize(rect.size());
QPainter painter(&svg);
painter.setViewport(rect);
document()->drawContents(&painter);
QApplication::restoreOverrideCursor();
parentWidget->statusBarMessage(tr("File saved at: %1").arg(file));

"SVG Generator Example":http://doc-snapshot.qt-project.org/4.8/painting-svggenerator.html is a very good and simple application that demonstrates how to use QSvgGenerator and might be useful in your case.

I fund that the file is created, but is empty.

Hi leon.anavi

Thank for your reply.

Yes, it was very useful. But I have already take a look there and you'll see the code is quite similar.

Yes, it is similar but there are also some differences that might be important. Try to set the size and the viewBox of the QSvgGenerator object.

The QSvgGenerator is working, if add this line the rectangle is drawn, I think the problem is in document()->drawContents(&painter)

@
painter.fillRect(QRect(0, 0, 200, 200), Qt::darkGreen);

Any idea?

Here is the code:

@ QFileDialog fileDialog;
fileDialog.setDirectory(QDir::home());
QString file = fileDialog.getSaveFileName(this, tr("Save to Svg"), settings.value("LastFileSvg", QDir::home().absolutePath()).toString(), tr("Svg files (*.svg)"));
settings.setValue("LastFileSvg", fileDialog.directory().filePath(file));
QSvgGenerator svg;
svg.setFileName(file);
QTextDocument *doc = document()->clone();
QRect rectSize(0, 0, (int) doc->size().width(), (int) doc->size().height());
QPainter painter(&svg);
painter.setViewport(rectSize);
doc->documentLayout()->setPaintDevice(&svg);
doc->drawContents(&painter);@
