图形中的文本在Qt中查看

Question

I am creating an application in Qt in which I can add different entities in graphics view on click of a button. I want that user can add text in graphics view when he clicks the push button for same. How can I make use of QGraphicsTextItem to do so? I have different buttons in my application like for drawing line, circle in which user specifies the points for doing so. Similarly I have a button to add text. I have seen we can have the implementation of adding text in graphics view as :

addText("hello")

This text is already defined. I want that text should be entered at run time, it should not be statically or predefined.

Answer 1

The information you give is quite sparse. From what it sounds like, you should be able to get the QTextDocument associated with the QGraphicsTextItem by calling QGraphicsTextItem::document () . If you don't want to do anything fancy, you should be able to set/replace the text of the item by calling QTextDocument::setPlainText ( const QString & text ) . If you want to prompt the user to enter text, you can use the static QInputDialog::getText method to get a single QString from the user.

Does this help? If this doesn't match your use case you might need to provide a bit more context.

Edit: posting a minimal example on how you can place text in a QGraphicsView/Scene. You click the mouse button in a particular location, it will ask you to enter text and then put the text where the mouse click happened. Does this help?

Edit 2: adding a more complete yet still dummy example below the first one showing creation of a mainwindow with a custom widget and a dummy button to toggle on/off text insertion. Note that this is certainly not production ready code, it should show the working principle and was not optimized or beautified in any way.

#include <QApplication>
#include <QGraphicsScene>
#include <QGraphicsView>
#include <QMouseEvent>
#include <QInputDialog>

class MyGraphicsView: public QGraphicsView
{
public:
  MyGraphicsView( QGraphicsScene *scene, QWidget *parent = 0) : QGraphicsView(scene,parent) {}

public slots:
  void mousePressEvent( QMouseEvent * event );



};

void MyGraphicsView::mousePressEvent( QMouseEvent * event )
{
  const QPoint &pos = event->pos();

  bool ok;
  QString text = QInputDialog::getText(this, tr("QInputDialog::getText()"),
                                   tr("Please enter your text"), QLineEdit::Normal,
                                   "Replace with your text", &ok);

  if (!ok || text.isEmpty()) return;

  QGraphicsTextItem *textItem = this->scene()->addText(text);
  textItem->setPos(mapToScene(pos));

}


int main( int argc, char **argv )
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    QGraphicsScene scene;
    scene.setSceneRect( -100.0, -100.0, 200.0, 200.0 );

    MyGraphicsView view( &scene );
    view.show();

    return app.exec();
}
