FontMetrics in QWindow?

samy03

Hi guys,

How can I get fontMetrics of a font in my QWindow that I am using for OpenGL?

I was using a command like this in QWidget:
fontMetrics().width(text());

But this command does not work in QWindow. I even tried creating a widget inside a QWindow but I still was not able to use the command shown above.
Is there a way I can use the same command on QWindow? Or maybe another way to get similar results in QWindow?

Thank you,

Hi,

What are you trying to achieve with that QWindow ?

I am running a program for text scrolling in beaglebone. I need Opengl to get beaglebone's GPU working, hence had to use QWindow.

You can also use the Graphics View framework with a QOpenGLWidget as backend.

How can I do that? Is there any example I can look at?

It's described in the QGraphicsView details using QGLWidget, but it's the ancestor of QOpenGLWidget.
