    \class QFontMetrics
    \reentrant

    \brief The QFontMetrics class provides font metrics information.

    \ingroup multimedia
    \ingroup shared
    \ingroup text

    QFontMetrics functions calculate the size of characters and
    strings for a given font. There are three ways you can create a
    QFontMetrics object:

    \list 1
    \o Calling the QFontMetrics constructor with a QFont creates a
    font metrics object for a screen-compatible font, i.e. the font
    cannot be a printer font. If the font is changed
    later, the font metrics object is \e not updated.

    (Note: If you use a printer font the values returned may be
    inaccurate. Printer fonts are not always accessible so the nearest
    screen font is used if a printer font is supplied.)

    \o QWidget::fontMetrics() returns the font metrics for a widget's
    font. This is equivalent to QFontMetrics(widget->font()). If the
    widget's font is changed later, the font metrics object is \e not
    updated.

    \o QPainter::fontMetrics() returns the font metrics for a
    painter's current font. If the painter's font is changed later, the
    font metrics object is \e not updated.
    \endlist

    Once created, the object provides functions to access the
    individual metrics of the font, its characters, and for strings
    rendered in the font.

    There are several functions that operate on the font: ascent(),
    descent(), height(), leading() and lineSpacing() return the basic
    size properties of the font. The underlinePos(), overlinePos(),
    strikeOutPos() and lineWidth() functions, return the properties of
    the line that underlines, overlines or strikes out the
    characters. These functions are all fast.

    There are also some functions that operate on the set of glyphs in
    the font: minLeftBearing(), minRightBearing() and maxWidth().
    These are by necessity slow, and we recommend avoiding them if
    possible.

    For each character, you can get its width(), leftBearing() and
    rightBearing() and find out whether it is in the font using
    inFont(). You can also treat the character as a string, and use
    the string functions on it.

    The string functions include width(), to return the width of a
    string in pixels (or points, for a printer), boundingRect(), to
    return a rectangle large enough to contain the rendered string,
    and size(), to return the size of that rectangle.

    Example:
    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_gui_text_qfontmetrics.cpp 0

    \sa QFont, QFontInfo, QFontDatabase, QFontComboBox, {Character Map Example}

    \overload

    Returns the bounding rectangle for the given \a text within the
    rectangle specified by the \a x and \a y coordinates, \a width, and
    \a height.

    for tabs; otherwise, if \a tabStops is non-zero, it is used as the

    Qt::Horizontal alignment defaults to Qt::AlignLeft and vertical
    alignment defaults to Qt::AlignTop.

    flags are set, the resulting alignment is undefined.

    If Qt::TextExpandTabs is set in \a flags, then: if \a tabArray is
    non-null, it specifies a 0-terminated sequence of pixel-positions
    for tabs; otherwise if \a tabStops is non-zero, it is used as the
    tab spacing (in pixels).

    Note that the bounding rectangle may extend to the left of (0, 0),
    e.g. for italicized fonts, and that the text output may cover \e
    all pixels in the bounding rectangle.

    Newline characters are processed as linebreaks.

    Despite the different actual character heights, the heights of the
    bounding rectangles of "Yes" and "yes" are the same.

    The bounding rectangle returned by this function is somewhat larger
    than that calculated by the simpler boundingRect() function. This
    function uses the \link minLeftBearing() maximum left \endlink and
    \link minRightBearing() right \endlink font bearings as is
    necessary for multi-line text to align correctly. Also,
    fontHeight() and lineSpacing() are used to calculate the height,

    \class QFontMetricsF
    \reentrant

    \brief The QFontMetricsF class provides font metrics information.

    \ingroup multimedia
    \ingroup shared
    \ingroup text

    QFontMetricsF functions calculate the size of characters and
    strings for a given font. You can construct a QFontMetricsF object
    with an existing QFont to obtain metrics for that font. If the
    font is changed later, the font metrics object is \e not updated.

    Once created, the object provides functions to access the
    individual metrics of the font, its characters, and for strings
    rendered in the font.

    There are several functions that operate on the font: ascent(),
    descent(), height(), leading() and lineSpacing() return the basic
    size properties of the font. The underlinePos(), overlinePos(),
    strikeOutPos() and lineWidth() functions, return the properties of
    the line that underlines, overlines or strikes out the
    characters. These functions are all fast.

    There are also some functions that operate on the set of glyphs in
    the font: minLeftBearing(), minRightBearing() and maxWidth().
    These are by necessity slow, and we recommend avoiding them if
    possible.

    For each character, you can get its width(), leftBearing() and
    rightBearing() and find out whether it is in the font using
    inFont(). You can also treat the character as a string, and use
    the string functions on it.

    The string functions include width(), to return the width of a
    string in pixels (or points, for a printer), boundingRect(), to
    return a rectangle large enough to contain the rendered string,
    and size(), to return the size of that rectangle.

    Qt::Horizontal alignment defaults to Qt::AlignLeft and vertical
    alignment defaults to Qt::AlignTop.

    If several of the horizontal or several of the vertical alignment
    flags are set, the resulting alignment is undefined.

    These flags are defined in \l{Qt::AlignmentFlag}.

    If Qt::TextExpandTabs is set in \a flags, the following behavior is
    used to interpret tab characters in the text:
    \list
    \o If \a tabArray is non-null, it specifies a 0-terminated sequence of
       pixel-positions for tabs in the text.
    \o If \a tabStops is non-zero, it is used as the tab spacing (in pixels).
    \endlist

    Note that the bounding rectangle may extend to the left of (0, 0),
    e.g. for italicized fonts.

    Newline characters are processed as line breaks.

    Despite the different actual character heights, the heights of the
    bounding rectangles of "Yes" and "yes" are the same.

    The bounding rectangle returned by this function is somewhat larger
    than that calculated by the simpler boundingRect() function. This
    function uses the \link minLeftBearing() maximum left \endlink and
    \link minRightBearing() right \endlink font bearings as is
    necessary for multi-line text to align correctly. Also,
    fontHeight() and lineSpacing() are used to calculate the height,
    rather than individual character heights.
