    Default QLabel, large, rich text, font size

    Hello....
    Really simple one ... (sorry for asking really)

    How do I get REALLY BIG text into a QLabel?

    I'm using,
    Qt Code:
    1. QString richText ("<h1><b><font color='green'> <font size=24>"+text+"</font></font></b>");
    2. setText(richText);
    3. QWidget::setFixedSize(QLabel::sizeHint());
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    Apparently, HTML can do <font size=7>, but that's not really big enough - I'd like the thing to be visible from across the room!

    I know nothing about HTML
    thanks

    Hello....

    Its all magic done by html script. Try this code .. and tell me you can see the text bigger

    Qt Code:
    1. #include <QApplication>
    2. #include <QWidget>
    3. #include <QLabel>
    4. #include <QString>
    5.  
    6. int main(int argc, char **argv)
    7. {
    8. QApplication a(argc, argv);
    9.  
    10. QWidget *w = new QWidget(0);
    11. w->setWindowTitle("lokesh");
    12.  
    13. //QString ritchText("<h1><b><font color='green'> <font size=40>\"+text+\"</font></font></b>");
    14.  
    15. QString ritchText("<html><head><meta name=\"qrichtext\" content=\"1\" /></head>"
    16. "<body style=\" white-space: pre-wrap; font-family:Sans Serif; "
    17. "font-size:9pt; font-weight:400; font-style:normal; text-decoration:none;\">"
    18. "<p style=\" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; "
    19. "margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; font-size:200pt;\">Qt Centre</p>"
    20. "</body></html>");
    21.  
    22.  
    23. QLabel *label = new QLabel(w);
    24. label->setText(ritchText);
    25.  
    26. w->setFixedSize(label->sizeHint());
    27.  
    28. w->show();
    29. return a.exec();
    30. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    You can increase / decrease this
    Qt Code:
    1. font-size:200pt;
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    Cheers

    Huge text!

    wow, that's a lot of html for a bit of black! nice one. thanks

    Q: is that a lot for my label to process? or is it done in nanoseconds?

    There's no need to use HTML if you don't want to:
    Qt Code:
    1. QLabel* label = new QLabel("Qt Centre");
    2. QFont font = label->font();
    3. font.setPointSize(72);
    4. label->setFont(font);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode
