text in paintevent

[Pradeep Kumar]

Hi,

I have overlay text, aligned , can i have the overlay text aligned one by one vertically in paintevent.

        painter.drawText(rect,Qt::AlignBottom | Qt::AlignLeft,StartString);
        painter.drawText(rect,Qt::AlignBottom | Qt::AlignCenter,Centerstring);
        painter.drawText(rect,Qt::AlignBottom | Qt::AlignRight,EndString);

Thanks,

hi,

seems like if you add a new line \n QPainter actually draws a new line. Take a look at the docu here

In case you want to use multiple drawTexts, you'll have to add an Vertical offset to the rect , of at least the average Char height, instead of a horizontal offset but that seems kind of obvious!?

I used \n , but u specified vertical offset , how can i achieve ,?.

Thanks,

@Pradeep-Kumar

QFontMetrics metrix(painter->font());
int hOffset = metrix.height();

painter.drawText(rect,Qt::AlignBottom | Qt::AlignLeft,StartString);
rect = rect.setY(rect.y()+hOffset);
painter.drawText(rect,Qt::AlignBottom | Qt::AlignCenter,Centerstring);
rect = rect.setY(rect.y()+hOffset);
painter.drawText(rect,Qt::AlignBottom | Qt::AlignRight,EndString);

@Pradeep-Kumar I'm not sure I understand your question. But isn't Qt::AlignVCenter what you're looking for?

Hi @Pradeep-Kumar ,

Try This,

QRect firstTextrect(0,0,rect.width(),rect.heght()/3);
QRect secTextrect(0,firstTextrect.bottomLeft(),rect.width(),rect.heght()/3);
QRect ThirdTextrect(0,secTextrect.bottomLeft(),rect.width(),rect.heght()/3);

painter.drawText(firstTextrect,Qt::AlignLeft,StartString);
painter.drawText(secTextrectr,Qt::AlignLeft,Centerstring);
painter.drawText(ThirdTextrect,Qt::AlignLeft,EndString);
