How to get the sizes of the rendered text on a QPainter?
The QPainter's boundingRect() will return a rectangle that you can use to get "width" and "height":
QPainter qp(this);
QFont font = qp.font();
font.setPixelSize(24);
qp.setFont(font);
qp.setPen(Qt::white);
QString text = "Hello, World!";
QRect br = qp.boundingRect(0, 0, 150, 30, 0, text);
qDebug() << br.width();
qDebug() << br.height();
You can use QFontMetrics for the purpose. Following is sample from Qt Docs.
QFont font("times", 24);
QFontMetrics fm(font);
int pixelsWide = fm.width("What's the width of this text?");
int pixelsHigh = fm.height();
