Qt: Save QPainter Output in an SVG or Image File

To save what you paint in a Qt window to a file (SVG or image) is an easy and straightforward piece of code. You create a QSvgGenerator or a QImage object. Some initialization. Paint into the object (treat it as an IODevice) And we are done. Suppose that this is what I draw in my paint event: void MainWindow::paintEvent(QPaintEvent *) { QPainter painter; painter.begin(this); painter.setRenderHint(QPainter::Antialiasing); paint(painter); painter.end(); } void MainWindow::paint(QPainter &painter) { painter.setClipRect(QRect(0, 0, 200, 200)); painter.setPen(Qt::NoPen); painter.fillRect(QRect(0, 0, 200, 200), Qt::gray); painter.setPen(QPen(Qt::white, 4, Qt::DashLine)); painter.drawLine(QLine(0, 35, 200, 35)); painter.drawLine(QLine(0, 165, 200, 165)); } If I want to save it into an SVG file, it would be something like this void MainWindow::saveSvg() { QString path = QFileDialog::getSaveFileName(this, tr("Save as SVG"),...

The text will wrap around to fit in multiple lines depending on text length and list view width. My custom delegate is about using two important methods: QFontMetrics::boundingRect() and QPainter::drawText() . The first method will return the minimum Rect needed to draw the given text using the given origin and font. The second method draws the given text within the given Rect. Note that the flag Qt::TextWordWrap is given to both methods when called. The code is simple: Get system default font. Process the font to suite your needs. In my case: I have a normal font and another bold one for the header. Create a QFontMetrics instance for each font. Use the QFontMetrics instances to calculate the Rect n...
