Max height of a font and QHeaderView::resizeMode

**tuli** · 28th February 2019, 00:27

As per the documentation I should be able to force it to only use the displayed rows by calling setResizeContentsPrecision(0), but that doesnt take the pressure off things... I will look into how much it actually accesses.

And I was sloppy in my previous post: I am not using a QTableWidget but indeed a QTableView with my own model.

For the model, you would need to implement Qt::SizeHintRole

I think it should be possible to find a constant one-fits-all value of line-height here. I dont mind wasting a few pixels here and there, but the default height is like 2x of a reasonable size.
For example, in practice and on my system this does nicely:

Qt Code:

Switch view

table->verticalHeader()->setSectionResizeMode(QHeaderView::Fixed);
        table->verticalHeader()->setDefaultSectionSize(QFontMetrics(table->font()).lineSpacing() + 4);

table->verticalHeader()->setSectionResizeMode(QHeaderView::Fixed);
        table->verticalHeader()->setDefaultSectionSize(QFontMetrics(table->font()).lineSpacing() + 4);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

The +4 basically ensure there's enough space so the last pixels dont get cut off. But it bothers me a bit to hardcode such arbitrary values, when the final result depends on Fonts and Styles.
