[Solved] How to change the default color of QTextDocument PlainText

[messi]

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to find a way to change the default text color of QTextDocument.
Unfortunately Richtext is not an option for me.
I have to go for plainText. I would appreciate any tips.

Thanks for the help.

Best regards

Here is an example.
I have tried various solutions but with no success.

1. Attempt:
Change the blockformat:
texDocument.firstBlock().blockFormat().setForeground(QBrush(Qt::green,Qt::SolidPattern));

2. Attempt:
Change the penn and the brush od the painter:
painter.setBrush(QBrush(Qt::green,Qt::SolidPattern));
painter.setPen(QColor(Qt::red));

//Example

@#include <QtGui>
#include <QString>

const QString text("BlaBla\nWuWu");

int main(int argv, char *args[])
{
QApplication app(argv, args);
QWidget mw;

QTextDocument texDocument;
texDocument.setDefaultFont( QFont("Libaration", 12, -1, true ) );
texDocument.setPlainText(text);

QPixmap pixmap(texDocument.size().toSize());
pixmap.fill( Qt::transparent );
QPainter painter( &pixmap );

texDocument.drawContents(&painter, pixmap.rect());

QPushButton button(&mw);
button.setIcon(QIcon(pixmap));
button.setIconSize(pixmap.size());

mw.resize(100, 70);   
mw.show();

return app.exec();

I found a solution. The problem is, that QTextDocumentLayout::draw takes a parameter QAbstractTextDocumentLayout::PaintContext ctx. This one is defined inside QTextDocument.

Now I wrote a new drawContents function which takes an additional parameter QTextDocument.
The example from above works with this additional function.

@void drawContents(QTextDocument *td, QPainter *p, const QRectF &rect)
{
p->save();
QAbstractTextDocumentLayout::PaintContext ctx;

ctx.palette.setColor(QPalette::Text, p->pen().color());

if (rect.isValid()) 
{
    p->setClipRect(rect);
    ctx.clip = rect;
}

td->documentLayout()->draw(p, ctx);
p->restore();
