[~Solved] Set Alignment in QGraphicsTextItem?

Asperamanca

How do I properly align a multi-line text in a QGraphicsTextItem?
The text seems to be always left-aligned, despite specifying

@ QTextOption option = pTextItem->document()->defaultTextOption();
option.setAlignment(Qt::AlignCenter);
pTextItem->document()->setDefaultTextOption(option);@

I have also tried assigning an alignment to all text blocks - no effect.

Ideas?

Edit: I only use plain text. I have found "this Bug":https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-312 regarding html text.

Hi,

Just a question, do you set the option before or after setting the text ?

I've tried setting the default text alignment

when the object is created (when text is still empty)
on every contentsChanged() signal

I've tried setting the text alignment for all text blocks

whenver the block count changes

Any other places I should try?

I would also do it in the constructor. As a workaround, did you try to resize the item as suggested in the bug report ?

It seems, the alignment only works if the document's textWidth is set.

I expected it to work without the text width, based on the length of the longest text line.
