    Default Getting the bounding rectangle

    I have implemented the following code

    Qt Code:
    1. QRectF rect(0, 0, height(), Margin);
    2. painter->save();
    3. painter->translate(50,0);
    4. painter->rotate(90);
    5. painter->drawText(rect,Qt::AlignCenter | Qt::AlignTop,str);
    6. strBoundingRect = painter->boundingRect(rect,Qt::AlignCenter,str);
    7. painter->restore();
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    However, using the above code return in strBoundingRect the initial bounding rectangle of the QString str and not the one that corresponds to the rotated and translated painter.

    Can you give me an example on how can I obtain the bounding rectangle taking also into account both translation and rotation?

    Thanks in advance...

    Default Re: Getting the bounding rectangle

    Rotate and translate the received bounding rect.

    Qt Code:
    1. QTransform t;
    2. t.rotate(...);
    3. t.translate(...);
    4. QRect transformed = t.mapRect(r);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.
