🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so. the QCanvasText class provides a text object on a QCanvas. that's the whole assignment and it ate. 🔥

a canvas text item has text with font, color and alignment attributes. the text and font can be set in the constructor, or set or changed later with setText() and setFont(). the color gets set with setColor() and the alignment with setTextFlags(). and when you need the text item's bounding rectangle? that's boundingRect(), babes. 📐

the text can be drawn on a painter with draw(). 🎨

like any other canvas item, text items can be moved with QCanvasItem::move() and QCanvasItem::moveBy(), or by setting coordinates with QCanvasItem::setX(), QCanvasItem::setY() and QCanvasItem::setZ(). move that text around like it's main character energy, because it literally is. ✨

👑 MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION 👑

QCanvasText::QCanvasText ( QCanvas * canvas )

constructs a QCanvasText with the text "<text>", on canvas. default text, no notes. 🙈

QCanvasText::QCanvasText ( const QString & t, QCanvas * canvas )

constructs a QCanvasText with the text t, on canvas canvas. you brought your own text, slay. 💖

QCanvasText::QCanvasText ( const QString & t, QFont f, QCanvas * canvas )

constructs a QCanvasText with the text t and font f, on the canvas canvas. text AND font in one go? highkey efficient. 🌟

QCanvasText::~QCanvasText () [virtual]

destroys the canvas text item. it's over bestie, but respectfully. 😭

QRect QCanvasText::boundingRect () const [virtual]

returns the bounding rectangle of the text. 🫶

Reimplemented from QCanvasItem.

QColor QCanvasText::color () const

returns the color of the text. 🌈

See also setColor().

void QCanvasText::draw ( QPainter & painter ) [virtual protected]

draws the text using the painter painter. go off, painter. 🖌️

Reimplemented from QCanvasItem.

QFont QCanvasText::font () const

returns the font in which the text is drawn. 💅

See also setFont().

int QCanvasText::rtti () const [virtual]

returns 3 (QCanvasItem::Rtti_Text). that's the number, no cap. 3️⃣

See also QCanvasItem::rtti().
Reimplemented from QCanvasItem.

void QCanvasText::setColor ( const QColor & c )

sets the color of the text to the color c. paint it, bestie. 🎀

See also color() and setFont().
Example: chart/chartform_canvas.cpp.

void QCanvasText::setFont ( const QFont & f )

sets the font in which the text is drawn to font f. glow-up for your glyphs. ✨

See also font().

void QCanvasText::setText ( const QString & t )

sets the text item's text to t. the text may contain newlines. yes, actual newlines, multi-line moment. 📝

See also text(), setFont(), setColor(), and setTextFlags().
Example: canvas/canvas.cpp.

void QCanvasText::setTextFlags ( int f )

sets the alignment flags to f. these are a bitwise OR of the flags available to QPainter::drawText() — see the Qt::AlignmentFlags. bitwise OR, we love to see it. 🧚

See also setFont() and setColor().

QString QCanvasText::text () const

returns the text item's text. the words. the content. 📖

See also setText().

int QCanvasText::textFlags () const

returns the currently set alignment flags. 🔍

See also setTextFlags() and Qt::AlignmentFlags.
