## Detailed Description

A plot item, which displays a text label.

QwtPlotTextLabel displays a text label aligned to the plot canvas.

In opposite to QwtPlotMarker the position of the label is unrelated to plot coordinates.

As drawing a text is an expensive operation the label is cached in a pixmap to speed up replots.

Example
  The following code shows how to add a title.

        QwtText title( "Plot Title" );
        title.setRenderFlags( Qt::AlignHCenter | Qt::AlignTop );

        QFont font;
        font.setBold( true );
        title.setFont( font );

        QwtPlotTextLabel *titleItem = new QwtPlotTextLabel();
        titleItem->setText( title );
        titleItem->attach( this );

## Member Function Documentation

void QwtPlotTextLabel::draw | ( | QPainter * | painter,
|  | const QwtScaleMap & | xMap,
|  | const QwtScaleMap & | yMap,
|  | const QRectF & | canvasRect
| ) |  | const
| protectedvirtual

Draw the text label

Parameters

  painter | Painter
  xMap | x Scale Map
  yMap | y Scale Map
  canvasRect | Contents rectangle of the canvas in painter coordinates

See also
  textRect()

Implements QwtPlotItem.

int QwtPlotTextLabel::margin | ( |  | ) | const

Returns
  Margin added to the contentsMargins() of the canvas

See also
  setMargin()

int QwtPlotTextLabel::rtti | ( |  | ) | const
| virtual

Returns
  QwtPlotItem::Rtti_PlotTextLabel

Reimplemented from QwtPlotItem.

void QwtPlotTextLabel::setMargin | ( | int | margin | ) |

Set the margin

The margin is the distance between the contentsRect() of the plot canvas and the rectangle where the label can be displayed.

Parameters

  margin | Margin

See also
  margin(), textRect()

void QwtPlotTextLabel::setText | ( | const QwtText & | text | ) |

Set the text

The label will be aligned to the plot canvas according to the alignment flags of text.

Parameters

  text | Text to be displayed

See also
  text(), QwtText::renderFlags()

QwtText QwtPlotTextLabel::text | ( |  | ) | const

Returns
  Text to be displayed

See also
  setText()

QRectF QwtPlotTextLabel::textRect | ( | const QRectF & | rect,
|  | const QSizeF & | textSize
| ) |  | const
| virtual

Align the text label.

Parameters

  rect | Canvas rectangle with margins subtracted
  textSize | Size required to draw the text

Returns
  A rectangle aligned according the the alignment flags of the text.
