How to draw a line with tiled images with QPainter?

[Santosh Reddy]

Will this work

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent)
    : QMainWindow(parent)
    , Ui::MainWindow()
{
    setupUi(this);
 
    QGraphicsScene * scene = new QGraphicsScene(this);
    graphicsView->setScene(scene);
 
    QPoint point1(0, 0);
    QPoint point2(1000, 0);
 
    addBanner(scene, point1, point2, "POLICE - STOP");
}
 
void MainWindow::addBanner(QGraphicsScene * scene
                            , const QPoint & start
                            , const QPoint & end
                            , const QString & text) const
{
    const int height = 25;
    const int spaceing = 40;
    QPen pen(Qt::black, 2, Qt::SolidLine, Qt::FlatCap, Qt::MiterJoin);
    QBrush brush(Qt::yellow);
    QFont font("Arial", 12);
    QPoint pos(start);
 
    QRect rect = QRect(start, QPoint(end.x(), end.y() + height));
    QGraphicsRectItem * rect_item = scene->addRect(rect ,pen, brush);
    rect_item->setFlag(QGraphicsItem::ItemClipsChildrenToShape);
 
    while(pos.x() < end.x())
    {
        QGraphicsTextItem * item = new QGraphicsTextItem(text, rect_item, scene);
        item->setFont(font);
        item->setPos(pos);
        item->clipPath();
        pos.setX(pos.x() + spaceing + item->boundingRect().right());
    }
}

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent)
    : QMainWindow(parent)
    , Ui::MainWindow()
{
    setupUi(this);

    QGraphicsScene * scene = new QGraphicsScene(this);
    graphicsView->setScene(scene);

    QPoint point1(0, 0);
    QPoint point2(1000, 0);

    addBanner(scene, point1, point2, "POLICE - STOP");
}

void MainWindow::addBanner(QGraphicsScene * scene
                            , const QPoint & start
                            , const QPoint & end
                            , const QString & text) const
{
    const int height = 25;
    const int spaceing = 40;
    QPen pen(Qt::black, 2, Qt::SolidLine, Qt::FlatCap, Qt::MiterJoin);
    QBrush brush(Qt::yellow);
    QFont font("Arial", 12);
    QPoint pos(start);

    QRect rect = QRect(start, QPoint(end.x(), end.y() + height));
    QGraphicsRectItem * rect_item = scene->addRect(rect ,pen, brush);
    rect_item->setFlag(QGraphicsItem::ItemClipsChildrenToShape);

    while(pos.x() < end.x())
    {
        QGraphicsTextItem * item = new QGraphicsTextItem(text, rect_item, scene);
        item->setFont(font);
        item->setPos(pos);
        item->clipPath();
        pos.setX(pos.x() + spaceing + item->boundingRect().right());
    }
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Greetings,
Thank you for your reply. But it does not work quite the way I wanted it. I did not notice, that this forum erased all my spaces in my example. So that was supposed to be a diagonal line (not vertical). And when I changed point2 to (1000, 30) the program didn't work anymore.
Thank you again.

Regards,

The example I post will work only for horizontal banners, you need to modify it for drawing to diagonal, using QPainterPath (you cannot use QGraphicsRectItem and QGraphicsTextItem)

I was only trying to give an example
