.SH "Detailed Description"
.PP 
Abstract base class for rendering text strings\&. 

A text engine is responsible for rendering texts for a specific text format\&. They are used by \fBQwtText\fP to render a text\&.
.PP
\fBQwtPlainTextEngine\fP and \fBQwtRichTextEngine\fP are part of the Qwt library\&. The implementation of \fBQwtMathMLTextEngine\fP uses code from the Qt solution package\&. Because of license implications it is built into a separate library\&.

\fBParameters\fP
.RS 4
\fIfont\fP Font of the text 
.br
\fIflags\fP Bitwise OR of the flags used like in QPainter::drawText

\fItext\fP Text to be tested

.SS "virtual void QwtTextEngine::textMargins (const QFont & font, const QString & text, double & left, double & right, double & top, double & bottom) const\fC [pure virtual]\fP"
Return margins around the texts
.PP
The textSize might include margins around the text, like QFontMetrics::descent()\&. In situations where texts need to be aligned in detail, knowing these margins might improve the layout calculations\&.
.PP
\fBParameters\fP
.RS 4
\fIfont\fP Font of the text 
.br
\fItext\fP Text to be rendered 
.br
\fIleft\fP Return value for the left margin

.br
\fItop\fP Return value for the top margin 
.br
\fIbottom\fP Return value for the bottom margin
