QPainter::draw() ingnores \n

QT-static-prgm

Hi,

i have a QString with a longer text that contains \n for new lines. The QLabel displays everything correctly. Now i want to save this text as pdf file. I tried Printing the QLabel, but that's not so good because of the resolution. So i thought the better way is to print the text directly instead of display it on a label and print that label.

QPdfWriter pdfwriter("qtwritten.pdf");
pdfwriter.setPageSize(QPageSize(QPageSize::A4));
QPainter painter(&pdfwriter);

painter.setFont(*m_font);
painter.drawText(0, 0, "Hello\nworld!");

The Result is

Any solution ideas? Or maybe alternatives to write the text to a pdf file?

Hi
Try

painter->drawText(this->rect(), Qt::AlignCenter,"Hello\nworld!");

We give it an area (rect) instead of x,y only
