Detailed Description

The QTextOption class provides a description of general rich text properties.

QTextOption is used to encapsulate common rich text properties in a single object. It contains information about text alignment, layout direction, word wrapping, and other standard properties associated with text rendering and layout.

See also QTextEdit, QTextDocument, and QTextCursor.

Member Type Documentation

enum QTextOption::Flag
flags QTextOption::Flags

Constant	Value
`QTextOption::IncludeTrailingSpaces`	`0x80000000`

The Flags type is a typedef for QFlags<Flag>. It stores an OR combination of Flag values.

enum QTextOption::TabType

This enum holds the different types of tabulator

Constant	Value	Description
`QTextOption::LeftTab`	`0`	, A left-tab
`QTextOption::RightTab`	`1`	, A right-tab
`QTextOption::CenterTab`	`2`	, A centered-tab
`QTextOption::DelimiterTab`	`3`	A tab stopping at a certain delimiter-character

This enum was introduced in Qt 4.4.

enum QTextOption::WrapMode

This enum describes how text is wrapped in a document.

Constant	Value	Description
`QTextOption::NoWrap`	`0`	Text is not wrapped at all.
`QTextOption::WordWrap`	`1`	Text is wrapped at word boundaries.
`QTextOption::ManualWrap`	`2`	Wrapping occurs at a manually specified length from the start of the line.
`QTextOption::WrapAnywhere`	`3`	Text can be wrapped at any point on a line, even if it occurs in the middle of a word.
`QTextOption::WrapAtWordBoundaryOrAnywhere`	`4`	If possible, wrapping occurs at a word boundary; otherwise it will occur at the appropriate point on the line, even in the middle of a word.

Member Function Documentation

QTextOption::QTextOption ()

Constructs a text option with default properties for text.

QTextOption::QTextOption ( Qt::Alignment alignment )

Constructs a text option with the given alignment for text.

QTextOption::QTextOption ( const QTextOption & other )

Construct a copy of the other text option.

QTextOption::~QTextOption ()

Destroys the text option.

Qt::Alignment QTextOption::alignment () const

Returns the text alignment defined by the option.

Flags QTextOption::flags () const

Returns the flags associated with the option.

void QTextOption::setAlignment ( Qt::Alignment alignment )

Sets the option's text alignment to the specified alignment.

void QTextOption::setFlags ( Flags flags )

Sets the flags associated with the option to the given flags.

void QTextOption::setTabArray ( QList<qreal> tabStops )

Sets the tab positions for the text layout to those specified by tabStops.

See also tabArray(), setTabStop(), and setTabs().

void QTextOption::setTabStop ( qreal tabStop )

Sets the default distance in device units between tab stops to the value specified by tabStop.

See also tabStop(), setTabArray(), setTabs(), and tabs().

void QTextOption::setTabs ( QList<Tab> tabStops )

Set the Tab properties to tabStops.

void QTextOption::setTextDirection ( Qt::LayoutDirection direction )

Sets the direction of the text layout defined by the option to the given direction.

void QTextOption::setUseDesignMetrics ( bool enable )

If enable is true then the layout will use design metrics; otherwise it will use the metrics of the paint device (which is the default behavior).

void QTextOption::setWrapMode ( WrapMode mode )

Sets the option's text wrap mode to the given mode.

QList<qreal> QTextOption::tabArray () const

Returns a list of tab positions defined for the text layout.

qreal QTextOption::tabStop () const

Returns the distance in device units between tab stops. Convenient function for the above method

See also setTabStop(), tabArray(), setTabs(), and tabs().

QList<Tab> QTextOption::tabs () const

Returns a list of tab positions defined for the text layout.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.4.

See also tabStop(), setTabs(), and setTabStop().

Qt::LayoutDirection QTextOption::textDirection () const

Returns the direction of the text layout defined by the option.

bool QTextOption::useDesignMetrics () const

Returns true if the layout uses design rather than device metrics; otherwise returns false.

WrapMode QTextOption::wrapMode () const

Returns the text wrap mode defined by the option.

QTextOption & QTextOption::operator= ( const QTextOption & other )

Returns true if the text option is the same as the other text option; otherwise returns false.
