drawing formatted QTextDocument

[tuli]

I need to render a QTextDocument formatted by a QSyntaxHighlighter to a raw window.
I figured a way via

painter->translate(x, y);
QAbstractTextDocumentLayout::PaintContext cont;
document()->documentLayout()->draw(painter, cont);

painter->translate(x, y);
QAbstractTextDocumentLayout::PaintContext cont;
document()->documentLayout()->draw(painter, cont);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

but this doesnt allow for centering it in a QRect.
How could i do it like drawing a plain string with a QPainter?

painter->drawText(x,y,w,h,Qt::AlignLeft, mystr);

painter->drawText(x,y,w,h,Qt::AlignLeft, mystr);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

thanks,


edit:
for example, this doesnt work:

document()->drawContents(painter, QRect(x,y,w,h));

document()->drawContents(painter, QRect(x,y,w,h));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

edit2:
Another problem is that the code in the very first code box doesnt use the font selected into QPainter...

Set the width of the document prior to using the layout.
