I need more than 1 line for QChart Title

mmikeinsantarosa

One line isn't long enough for the amount of text I need to place in the Title of a QChart using chart->setTitle(_chartTitleText);

Is there a way to display more than one line of text in a QChart title?

thanks
Mike

@mmikeinsantarosa
(Although I have no evidence for this, I doubt it, judging from other Qt setTitle()s.) But would it work for you if you inserted \n into your title?

@mmikeinsantarosa The Title of a QChart is a QGraphicsTextItem so its has automatic wordwarp feature disabled by default. Therefore you'll need to add a manuel linebreak QString("\n") like @JonB suggested

Sets the preferred width for the item's text. If the actual text is wider than the specified width then it will be broken into multiple lines.

If width is set to -1 then the text will not be broken into multiple lines unless it is enforced through an explicit line break or a new paragraph.

The default value is -1.

so its has automatic wordwarp feature

Sort of like in Star Trek? :)

Indeed it wraps the QString with warp 10. An operation so fast, speed looses its vector, resulting in black pixel all over the boundingbox ....

Adding \n just shows up as \n in the title.
Is there a way to enable the wordwarp in the graphicsItem?

As QGraphicsTextItem support HTML, did you try using HTML ?

chart->setTitle("My title with <br> new line);

Maybe it could work. But I didn't try.

Yes <br> does indeed provide another line in the title.

I tested it with 2 <br>'s and got 3 lines.

Thanks!
