<![CDATA[[SOLVED] Extract text block from QGraphicsTextItem based on QPointF]]>Dear all,
I'm trying to find out a way to extract the word at position <x,y> of a QGraphicsTextItem.
I looking for a method on the documentation, but it seems that there is no method that return the character or the word given a <x,y> position.

Any suggestions ??

Thanks,
Gianluca.

Thank you.
You solved two problems... the one of this thread, and another that I posted in another thread :-)

I have never tried this, but you can get a QAbstractTextDocumentLayout from the QTextDocument, and the QTextDocument from the QGraphicsTextItem. Should work, if you transform the coordinates correctly.
