Support for these writing systems is transparent to the
programmer and completely encapsulated in \l{Rich Text Processing}{Qt's text engine}.
- This means that you don't need to have any knowledge about the writing
- system used in a particular language, except for the following small points:
-
- \list
-
- \li QPainter::drawText(int x, int y, const QString &str) will always
- draw the string with its left edge at the position specified with
- the x, y parameters. This will usually give you left aligned strings.
- Arabic and Hebrew application strings are usually right
- aligned, so for these languages use the version of drawText() that
- takes a QRect since this will align in accordance with the language.
-
- \li When you write your own text input controls, use QTextLayout.
- In some languages (e.g. Arabic or languages from the Indian
- subcontinent), the width and shape of a glyph changes depending on the
- surrounding characters, which QTextLayout takes into account.
- Writing input controls usually requires a certain knowledge of the
- scripts it is going to be used in. Usually the easiest way is to
- subclass QLineEdit or QTextEdit.
