<p>It offers most features expected from a modern text layout engine, including Unicode compliant rendering, line breaking and handling of cursor positioning. It can also produce and render device independent layout, something that is important for WYSIWYG applications.</p>
<p>The class has a rather low level API and unless you intend to implement your own text rendering for some specialized widget, you probably won't need to use it directly.</p>
<p>QTextLayout can currently deal with plain text and rich text paragraphs that are part of a <a href="qtextdocument.html">QTextDocument</a>.</p>
<p>QTextLayout can be used to create a sequence of <a href="qtextline.html">QTextLine</a>'s with given widths and can position them independently on the screen. Once the layout is done, these lines can be drawn on a paint device.</p>
<p>Here's some pseudo code that presents the layout phase:</p>
<pre> int leading = fontMetrics.leading();
qreal height = 0;
qreal widthUsed = 0;
textLayout.beginLayout();
while (1) {
QTextLine line = textLayout.createLine();
if (!line.isValid())
break;
line.setLineWidth(lineWidth);
height += leading;
line.setPosition(QPointF(0, height));
height += line.height();
widthUsed = qMax(widthUsed, line.naturalTextWidth());
}
textLayout.endLayout();</pre>
<p>The text can be drawn by calling the layout's <a href="qtextlayout.html#draw">draw</a>() function:</p>
<pre> QPainter painter(this);
textLayout.draw(&painter, QPoint(0, 0));</pre>
<p>The text layout's text is set in the constructor or with <a href="qtextlayout.html#setText">setText</a>(). The layout can be seen as a sequence of <a href="qtextline.html">QTextLine</a> objects; use <a href="qtextlayout.html#lineAt">lineAt</a>() or <a href="qtextlayout.html#lineForTextPosition">lineForTextPosition</a>() to get a <a href="qtextline.html">QTextLine</a>, <a href="qtextlayout.html#createLine">createLine</a>() to create one. For a given position in the text you can find a valid cursor position with <a href="qtextlayout.html#isValidCursorPosition">isValidCursorPosition</a>(), <a href="qtextlayout.html#nextCursorPosition">nextCursorPosition</a>(), and <a href="qtextlayout.html#previousCursorPosition">previousCursorPosition</a>(). The layout itself can be positioned with <a href="qtextlayout.html#setPosition">setPosition</a>(); it has a <a href="qtextlayout.html#boundingRect">boundingRect</a>(), and a <a href="qtextlayout.html#minimumWidth">minimumWidth</a>() and a <a href="qtextlayout.html#maximumWidth">maximumWidth</a>(). A text layout can be drawn on a painter device using <a href="qtextlayout.html#draw">draw</a>().</p>

<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/instm/QTextLayout/boundingRect" />
<h3 class="fn"><a name="boundingRect" /><a href="qrectf.html">QRectF</a> QTextLayout.boundingRect (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>The smallest rectangle that contains all the lines in the layout.</p>
<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/instm/QTextLayout/cacheEnabled" />

<p>This function was introduced in Qt 4.4.</p>
<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/instm/QTextLayout/createLine" />
<h3 class="fn"><a name="createLine" /><a href="qtextline.html">QTextLine</a> QTextLayout.createLine (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns a new text line to be laid out if there is text to be inserted into the layout; otherwise returns an invalid text line.</p>
<p>The text layout creates a new line object that starts after the last line in the layout, or at the beginning if the layout is empty. The layout maintains an internal cursor, and each line is filled with text from the cursor position onwards when the <a href="qtextline.html#setLineWidth">QTextLine.setLineWidth</a>() function is called.</p>
<p>Once <a href="qtextline.html#setLineWidth">QTextLine.setLineWidth</a>() is called, a new line can be created and filled with text. Repeating this process will lay out the whole block of text contained in the <a href="qtextlayout.html">QTextLayout</a>. If there is no text left to be inserted into the layout, the <a href="qtextline.html">QTextLine</a> returned will not be valid (isValid() will return false).</p>

<p>Draws a text cursor with the current pen at the given <i>position</i> using the <i>painter</i> specified. The corresponding position within the text is specified by <i>cursorPosition</i>.</p>
<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/instm/QTextLayout/endLayout" />
<h3 class="fn"><a name="endLayout" />QTextLayout.endLayout (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Ends the layout process.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="isValidCursorPosition" />bool QTextLayout.isValidCursorPosition (<i>self</i>, int)</h3><p>Returns true if position <i>pos</i> is a valid cursor position.</p>
<p>In a Unicode context some positions in the text are not valid cursor positions, because the position is inside a Unicode surrogate or a grapheme cluster.</p>
<p>A grapheme cluster is a sequence of two or more Unicode characters that form one indivisible entity on the screen. For example the latin character `Ä' can be represented in Unicode by two characters, `A' (0x41), and the combining diaresis (0x308). A text cursor can only validly be positioned before or after these two characters, never between them since that wouldn't make sense. In indic languages every syllable forms a grapheme cluster.</p>
