## Member Function Documentation

### QRect QwtPlainText::boundingRect (QPainter \* painter = `0`) const` [virtual]`

Returns the bounding rectangle.

The bounding rectangle is calculated with respect to (0, 0). The left and top border depend on the alignment flags:

- •

  the left border is at -width, -width/2 or 0 for Qt::AlignRight, Qt::AlignHCenter or Qt::AlignLeft respectively

- •

  the top border is at 0, -height/2 or -height for Qt::AlignTop, Qt::AlignVCenter or Qt::AlignBottom respectively

Use for instance QRect::moveBy(x,y), before drawing the text into the rectangle.

Implements **QwtText**.
