Hi,
I've been wondering if anyone has ever seen QGraphicsTextItem's that aren't
square. I essentially want to be able to chain up these non square
QGraphicsTextItems to do something like this: |Hi this is some text andit is
not square||This is somemore text also not square|
I know I can create my own oddly shaped graphics items and use the QTextLayout
to lay the text out in them, but I still then need to re-implement all the
stuff to be able to edit the text. I assume that it's quite onerous to
implement all the text editing features - there's certainly a lot of Qt code to
do it. Would be happy if someone says that making it editable isn't really that
hard... I'm looking for the shove in the right direction.
So the only way I've come up with to make the QGraphicsTextItem not square in
my head involves a little hackery: use textIndent to shift the first line in,
and hack an extra function into the Qt source which will tell me how long the
last line is. This will mean I can "chain them up". I would also have to
override shape() so that clicking gets picked up by the right element. Would
this work? Or is it better just to implement my own graphics item with text
editing features?
Regards,SimonPS. The QTextDocument/QTextEdit is just not flexible enough for me
to use for my purpose. I've done it to death (I think). Be happy to be wrong.
Too hard to keep my model in sync with the text. I don't get enough control
over what happens when things get edited in the text.
