QGraphicTextItem and outline

[eric_vi]

well having a toolbar is the plan but i have to pass the first hurdle.. so you mean just by placing

QPen outlinePen = QPen (QColor(255, 0, 0), 1, Qt::SolidLine);
 
  QTextCharFormat format;
    format.setTextOutline ( outlinePen );
 
    QTextCursor cursor;
    cursor.setCharFormat ( format );
    setTextCursor(cursor);

QPen outlinePen = QPen (QColor(255, 0, 0), 1, Qt::SolidLine);
 
  QTextCharFormat format;
    format.setTextOutline ( outlinePen );
 
    QTextCursor cursor;
    cursor.setCharFormat ( format );
    setTextCursor(cursor);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

on a qgraphicstextitem without anything extra this edits fine? do you do any setup to the QTextDocument attached to the qgraphicstextitem ?
