Painting Rich Text

[xanthine]

Thanks for the tip, Jacek.

However, I can't get anything to appear via QAbstractTextDocumentLayout::draw(). For example, here is some test code that doesn't work:

QTextDocument td( "test" );
QAbstractTextDocumentLayout::PaintContext ctx;
ctx.clip = QRectF( 0, 0, 400, 100 );
qPainter->drawRect( ctx.clip ); // Test that I'm drawing in the right area
td.documentLayout()->draw( qPainter, ctx );

QTextDocument td( "test" );
QAbstractTextDocumentLayout::PaintContext ctx;
ctx.clip = QRectF( 0, 0, 400, 100 );
qPainter->drawRect( ctx.clip ); // Test that I'm drawing in the right area
td.documentLayout()->draw( qPainter, ctx );

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

The clip rectangle gets drawn properly, but no text is drawn.

I've tried looking at how QTextEdit draws its QTextDocument, and I can't see anything significantly different to what I am doing, but obviously there must be something..

Any ideas?

Add:

td.setPageSize( QSizeF( 400, 100 ) );

td.setPageSize( QSizeF( 400, 100 ) );

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Probably you need also:

td.documentLayout()->setPaintDevice( this );

td.documentLayout()->setPaintDevice( this );

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

It's all working perfectly now. Thanks for all your help!
