Detailed Description

\reentrant

The QAbstractTextDocumentLayout class is an abstract base class used to implement custom layouts for QTextDocuments. \inmodule QtGui

The standard layout provided by Qt can handle simple word processing including inline images, lists and tables.

Some applications, e.g., a word processor or a DTP application might need more features than the ones provided by Qt's layout engine, in which case you can subclass QAbstractTextDocumentLayout to provide custom layout behavior for your text documents.

An instance of the QAbstractTextDocumentLayout subclass can be installed on a QTextDocument object with the \l{QTextDocument::}{setDocumentLayout()} function.

You can insert custom objects into a QTextDocument; see the QTextObjectInterface class description for details.

Member Function Documentation

◆ anchorAt()

QString QAbstractTextDocumentLayout::anchorAt ( const QPointF & pos) const

Returns the reference of the anchor the given position, or an empty string if no anchor exists at that point.

Definition at line 569 of file qabstracttextdocumentlayout.cpp.

◆ blockBoundingRect()

virtual QRectF QAbstractTextDocumentLayout::blockBoundingRect ( const QTextBlock & block) const
pure virtual

Returns the bounding rectangle of block.

Implemented in QPlainTextDocumentLayout, and QTextDocumentLayout.

◆ blockWithMarkerAt()

QTextBlock QAbstractTextDocumentLayout::blockWithMarkerAt ( const QPointF & pos) const
Since
5.14

Returns the block (probably a list item) whose \l{QTextBlockFormat::marker()}{marker} is found at the given position pos.

Definition at line 624 of file qabstracttextdocumentlayout.cpp.

◆ document()

QTextDocument * QAbstractTextDocumentLayout::document ( ) const

Returns the text document that this layout is operating on.

Definition at line 557 of file qabstracttextdocumentlayout.cpp.

◆ documentChanged()

virtual void QAbstractTextDocumentLayout::documentChanged ( int position,
int charsRemoved,
int charsAdded )
protectedpure virtual

This function is called whenever the contents of the document change.

A change occurs when text is inserted, removed, or a combination of these two. The change is specified by position, charsRemoved, and charsAdded corresponding to the starting character position of the change, the number of characters removed from the document, and the number of characters added.

For example, when inserting the text "Hello" into an empty document, charsRemoved would be 0 and charsAdded would be 5 (the length of the string).

Replacing text is a combination of removing and inserting. For example, if the text "Hello" gets replaced by "Hi", charsRemoved would be 5 and charsAdded would be 2.

For subclasses of QAbstractTextDocumentLayout, this is the central function where a large portion of the work to lay out and position document contents is done.

For example, in a subclass that only arranges blocks of text, an implementation of this function would have to do the following:

\list

  • Determine the list of changed \l{QTextBlock}(s) using the parameters provided.
  • Each QTextBlock object's corresponding QTextLayout object needs to be processed. You can access the \l{QTextBlock}'s layout using the QTextBlock::layout() function. This processing should take the document's page size into consideration.
  • If the total number of pages changed, the pageCountChanged() signal should be emitted.
  • If the total size changed, the documentSizeChanged() signal should be emitted.
  • The update() signal should be emitted to schedule a repaint of areas in the layout that require repainting. \endlist

QTextLayout

Implemented in QPlainTextDocumentLayout, and QTextDocumentLayout.

◆ documentSize()

virtual QSizeF QAbstractTextDocumentLayout::documentSize ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns the total size of the document's layout.

This information can be used by display widgets to update their scroll bars correctly.

See also
documentSizeChanged(), QTextDocument::pageSize

Implemented in QPlainTextDocumentLayout, and QTextDocumentLayout.

◆ documentSizeChanged

void QAbstractTextDocumentLayout::documentSizeChanged ( const QSizeF & newSize)
signal

This signal is emitted when the size of the document layout changes to newSize.

Subclasses of QAbstractTextDocumentLayout should emit this signal when the document's entire layout size changes. This signal is useful for widgets that display text documents since it enables them to update their scroll bars correctly.

int posInDocument,
const QTextFormat & format )
protectedvirtual

This function is called to draw the inline object, object, with the given painter within the rectangle specified by rect using the specified text format.

posInDocument specifies the position of the object within the document.

The default implementation calls drawObject() on the object handlers. This function is called only within Qt. Subclasses can reimplement this function to customize the drawing of inline objects.

See also
draw()

Reimplemented in QTextDocumentLayout.

Definition at line 504 of file qabstracttextdocumentlayout.cpp.
