QPainter drawText vs QML Text

Zondar

Hi,

I am writing components for QML in Cpp. I wanted to make button component and I noticed when I use custom font, then drawed text quality is really bad although QPainter::TextAntialiasing render hint was set. But when display text with Text element its quality is way more better. Any Ideas how to improve render quality of QPainter?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

Not a direct answer but why not use QtQuick.Controls ? There's even a tech preview of the version 2 of these controls which should be even lighter (as in resources needed).

Hi,

I thought about that, but when it comes to more complex components for example Graph, QML code becomes really confusing for me.

What problem are you having ?

I created class in Cpp, which inherits from QQuickPaintedItem and used QPainter::drawText to draw text, its quality was quite nice, but when I added Q_PROPERTY(QFont ....) and then set painter font with QPainter::setFont, quality of drawn text decreased a lot. Then I tried to draw text with Text element with same custom font and result was way more better.
EDIT: font property was set from QML using FontLoader
EDIT: I think it might be because of bat settings, beacause when I draw some bigger text it seems fuzzy like when displaying resized small image to bigger canvas

Aliasing problem ?
