QPainter.drawText and margin/padding

[invictus]

Hi

I have a QRectF defined for drawing a rect and draw text inside of this visible rect.



painter.fillRect(rect, bgColor);
painter.drawText(rect, Qt::AlignRight, QString("A string"));


So instead of manually position the text I just reuse the same QRectF as for filling the Rect and align using the Qt::AlignRight. However, I would like to make a small padding (1-2 pixels) from the right-aligned text and the edge of the visible rect.

Obviously I can do this by manually making the rect for drawText a couple of pixels shorter than the fillRect rect. However, before doing this I just want to make sure there aren't any cleaner way of defining padding when using drawText?

Any ideas? Appreciate any answer, even it its just to confirm that I have to do this manually.

No, there is no cleaner way. And changing the rect is the directest approach. So its the best and fastest.
