Which Widget to use to display simple text lines?

[Simmania]

Hi,
I need a Widget to display a number of simple text lines.
There should be no scrolling.
I do not need to edit the text.
It would be nice if I could control line spacing such that a fixed number of lines fits the size of the Widget.

Is there a Widget suitable for this?
Or should I draw the strings myself on some canvas or so?

Hi,
Why not use a QTextView ? QTextEdit of course

It would be nice if I could control line spacing such that a fixed number of lines fits the size of the Widget.

For that I'll simply put QLabels in a QVBoxLayout.

Isn't QTextView obsolete? I only see the QTextEdit and I do not need edit functionality. I'm afraid this will slow down drawing.

@Simmania
What about QLabels in a QVBoxLayout. ?

An editable widget will only affect drawing while being edited. For QTextEdit you can turn off editing. As long as all your text lines fit on a normally sized screen you don't need to worry about performance much. Most likely there are some tricks to calculate line spacing and apply it to a QTextEdit. But, like others already said, QLabels in a QVBoxLayout are much easier to handle and implement.
