public class QFontMetrics
The QFontMetrics class provides font metrics information. QFontMetrics functions calculate the size of characters and strings for a given font. There are three ways you can create a QFontMetrics object:
QFont
creates a font metrics object for a screen-compatible font, i.e. the font cannot be a printer font. If the font is changed later, the font metrics object is not updated. (Note: If you use a printer font the values returned may be inaccurate. Printer fonts are not always accessible so the nearest screen font is used if a printer font is supplied.)
QWidget::fontMetrics()
returns the font metrics for a widget's font. This is equivalent to QFontMetrics(widget->font()). If the widget's font is changed later, the font metrics object is not updated.QPainter::fontMetrics()
returns the font metrics for a painter's current font. If the painter's font is changed later, the font metrics object is not updated.There are several functions that operate on the font: ascent()
, descent()
, height()
, leading()
and lineSpacing()
return the basic size properties of the font. The underlinePos()
, overlinePos()
, strikeOutPos()
and lineWidth()
functions, return the properties of the line that underlines, overlines or strikes out the characters. These functions are all fast.
There are also some functions that operate on the set of glyphs in the font: minLeftBearing()
, minRightBearing()
and maxWidth()
. These are by necessity slow, and we recommend avoiding them if possible.
For each character, you can get its width()
, leftBearing()
and rightBearing()
and find out whether it is in the font using inFont()
. You can also treat the character as a string, and use the string functions on it.
The string functions include width()
, to return the width of a string in pixels (or points, for a printer), boundingRect()
, to return a rectangle large enough to contain the rendered string, and size()
, to return the size of that rectangle.
Example:
QFont font = new QFont("times", 24); QFontMetrics fm = new QFontMetrics(font); int pixelsWide = fm.width("What's the width of this text?"); int pixelsHigh = fm.height();

public QFontMetrics(QFont arg__1)
The font metrics will be compatible with the paintdevice used to create font.
The font metrics object holds the information for the font that is passed in the constructor at the time it is created, and is not updated if the font's attributes are changed later.
Use QFontMetrics(const QFont
&, QPaintDevice
*) to get the font metrics that are compatible with a certain paint device.
public QFontMetrics(QFont arg__1, QPaintDeviceInterface pd)
The font metrics will be compatible with the paintdevice passed. If the paintdevice is 0, the metrics will be screen-compatible, ie. the metrics you get if you use the font for drawing text on a widgets
or pixmaps
, not on a QPicture
or QPrinter
.
The font metrics object holds the information for the font that is passed in the constructor at the time it is created, and is not updated if the font's attributes are changed later.

Method Detail |
---|
public final int ascent()
The ascent of a font is the distance from the baseline to the highest position characters extend to. In practice, some font designers break this rule, e.g. when they put more than one accent on top of a character, or to accommodate an unusual character in an exotic language, so it is possible (though rare) that this value will be too small.
descent()
.
public final int averageCharWidth()
public final QRect boundingRect(char arg__1)
Note that the bounding rectangle may extend to the left of (0, 0), e.g. for italicized fonts, and that the text output may cover all pixels in the bounding rectangle. For a space character the rectangle will usually be empty.
Note that the rectangle usually extends both above and below the base line.
Warning: The width of the returned rectangle is not the advance width of the character. Use boundingRect(const QString &) or width()
instead.
width()
.
public final QRect boundingRect(java.lang.String text)
Note that the bounding rectangle may extend to the left of (0, 0), e.g. for italicized fonts, and that the width of the returned rectangle might be different than what the width()
method returns.
If you want to know the advance width of the string (to layout a set of strings next to each other), use width()
instead.
Newline characters are processed as normal characters, not as linebreaks.
The height of the bounding rectangle is at least as large as the value returned by height()
.
width()
, height()
, QPainter::boundingRect()
, and tightBoundingRect()
.
public final int charWidth(java.lang.String str, int pos)
The whole string is needed, as the glyph drawn may change depending on the context (the letter before and after the current one) for some languages (e.g. Arabic).
This function also takes non spacing marks and ligatures into account.
public final int descent()
The descent is the distance from the base line to the lowest point characters extend to. In practice, some font designers break this rule, e.g. to accommodate an unusual character in an exotic language, so it is possible (though rare) that this value will be too small.
ascent()
.
public final java.lang.String elidedText(java.lang.String text, Qt.TextElideMode mode, int width)
The mode parameter specifies whether the text is elided on the left (e.g., "...tech"), in the middle (e.g., "Tr...ch"), or on the right (e.g., "Trol...").
The width is specified in pixels, not characters.
The flags argument is optional and currently only supports Qt::TextShowMnemonic
as value.
public final java.lang.String elidedText(java.lang.String text, Qt.TextElideMode mode, int width, int flags)
The mode parameter specifies whether the text is elided on the left (e.g., "...tech"), in the middle (e.g., "Tr...ch"), or on the right (e.g., "Trol...").
The width is specified in pixels, not characters.
The flags argument is optional and currently only supports Qt::TextShowMnemonic
as value.
public final int height()
This is always equal to ascent()
+descent()
+1 (the 1 is for the base line).
leading()

.
public final boolean inFont(char arg__1)
public final int leading()
This is the natural inter-line spacing.
height()
, and lineSpacing()
.
public final int leftBearing(char arg__1)
The left bearing is the right-ward distance of the left-most pixel of the character from the logical origin of the character. This value is negative if the pixels of the character extend to the left of the logical origin.
See width(QChar) for a graphical description of this metric.

This is the smallest leftBearing(char) of all characters in the font.
Note that this function can be very slow if the font is large.

.
public final int minRightBearing()
This is the smallest rightBearing(char) of all characters in the font.
Note that this function can be very slow if the font is large.

.
public final int overlinePos()
underlinePos()
, strikeOutPos()
, and lineWidth()

public final int rightBearing(char arg__1)
The right bearing is the left-ward distance of the right-most pixel of the character from the logical origin of a subsequent character. This value is negative if the pixels of the character extend to the right of the width()
of the character.
See width()
for a graphical description of this metric.

public final QRect tightBoundingRect(java.lang.String text)
Note that the bounding rectangle may extend to the left of (0, 0), e.g. for italicized fonts, and that the width of the returned rectangle might be different than what the width()
method returns.
If you want to know the advance width of the string (to layout a set of strings next to each other), use width()
instead.
Newline characters are processed as normal characters, not as linebreaks.
Warning: Calling this method is very slow on Windows.

.
public final int underlinePos()
overlinePos()
, strikeOutPos()
, and lineWidth()
.
public final int width(char arg__1)
Some of the metrics are described in the image to the right. The central dark rectangles cover the logical width()
of each character. The outer pale rectangles cover the leftBearing()
and rightBearing()
of each character. Notice that the bearings of "f" in this particular font are both negative, while the bearings of "o" are both positive.
Warning: This function will produce incorrect results for Arabic characters or non-spacing marks in the middle of a string, as the glyph shaping and positioning of marks that happens when processing strings cannot be taken into account. Use charWidth() instead if you aren't looking for the width of isolated characters.
boundingRect()
, and charWidth().
public final int width(java.lang.String arg__1)
Note that this value is not equal to boundingRect()
.width()
; boundingRect()
returns a rectangle describing the pixels this string will cover whereas width()
returns the distance to where the next string should be drawn.

public final int width(java.lang.String arg__1, int len)
Note that this value is not equal to boundingRect()

returns the distance to where the next string should be drawn.
boundingRect()
.
public final int xHeight()
public final QRect boundingRect(int x, int y, int width, int height, int flags, java.lang.String text, int tabStops, int[] tabArray)
If Qt::TextExpandTabs
is set in flags and tabArray is non-null, it specifies a 0-terminated sequence of pixel-positions for tabs; otherwise, if tabStops is non-zero, it is used as the tab spacing (in pixels).
public final QRect boundingRect(int x, int y, int width, int height, int flags, java.lang.String text, int tabStops)
public final QRect boundingRect(int x, int y, int width, int height, int flags, java.lang.String text)
public final QRect boundingRect(QRect rect, int flags, java.lang.String text, int tabStops, int[] tabArray)
The flags argument is the bitwise OR of the following flags:
Qt::AlignLeft
aligns to the left border, except for Arabic and Hebrew where it aligns to the right.Qt::AlignRight
aligns to the right border, except for Arabic and Hebrew where it aligns to the left.Qt::AlignJustify
produces justified text.Qt::AlignHCenter
aligns horizontally centered.Qt::AlignTop
aligns to the top border.Qt::AlignBottom
aligns to the bottom border.Qt::AlignVCenter
aligns vertically centeredQt::AlignCenter
(== Qt::AlignHCenter | Qt::AlignVCenter)Qt::TextSingleLine
ignores newline characters in the text.Qt::TextExpandTabs
expands tabs (see below)Qt::TextShowMnemonic
interprets "&x" as x, i.e. underlined.Qt::TextWordWrap
breaks the text to fit the rectangle.Qt::Horizontal
alignment defaults to Qt::AlignLeft
and vertical alignment defaults to Qt::AlignTop
. If several of the horizontal or several of the vertical alignment flags are set, the resulting alignment is undefined.
If Qt::TextExpandTabs
is set in flags, then: if tabArray is non-null, it specifies a 0-terminated sequence of pixel-positions for tabs; otherwise if tabStops is non-zero, it is used as the tab spacing (in pixels).
Note that the bounding rectangle may extend to the left of (0, 0), e.g. for italicized fonts, and that the text output may cover all pixels in the bounding rectangle.
Newline characters are processed as linebreaks.
Despite the different actual character heights, the heights of the bounding rectangles of "Yes" and "yes" are the same.
The bounding rectangle returned by this function is somewhat larger than that calculated by the simpler boundingRect()
function. This function uses the maximum left
and right
font bearings as is necessary for multi-line text to align correctly. Also, fontHeight() and lineSpacing()
are used to calculate the height, rather than individual character heights.
