Detailed Description#

The character format of text in a document specifies the visual properties of the text, as well as information about its role in a hypertext document.

The font used can be set by supplying a font to the setFont() function, and each aspect of its appearance can be adjusted to give the desired effect. setFontFamilies() and setFontPointSize() define the font’s family (e.g. Times) and printed size; setFontWeight() and setFontItalic() provide control over the style of the font. setFontUnderline() , setFontOverline() , setFontStrikeOut() , and setFontFixedPitch() provide additional effects for text.

The color is set with setForeground() . If the text is intended to be used as an anchor (for hyperlinks), this can be enabled with setAnchor() . The setAnchorHref() and setAnchorNames() functions are used to specify the information about the hyperlink’s destination and the anchor’s name.

class PySide6.QtGui.QTextCharFormat#

PySide6.QtGui.QTextCharFormat(fmt)

Parameters:: fmt – PySide6.QtGui.QTextFormat

Constructs a new character format object.

PySide6.QtGui.QTextCharFormat.VerticalAlignment#

This enum describes the ways that adjacent characters can be vertically aligned.

Constant

Description

QTextCharFormat.AlignNormal

Adjacent characters are positioned in the standard way for text in the writing system in use.

QTextCharFormat.AlignSuperScript

Characters are placed above the base line for normal text.

QTextCharFormat.AlignSubScript

Characters are placed below the base line for normal text.

QTextCharFormat.AlignMiddle

The center of the object is vertically aligned with the base line. Currently, this is only implemented for inline objects.

QTextCharFormat.AlignBottom

The bottom edge of the object is vertically aligned with the base line.

QTextCharFormat.AlignTop

The top edge of the object is vertically aligned with the base line.

QTextCharFormat.AlignBaseline

The base lines of the characters are aligned.

Constant	Description

PySide6.QtGui.QTextCharFormat.UnderlineStyle#

This enum describes the different ways drawing underlined text.

Constant

Description

QTextCharFormat.NoUnderline

Text is draw without any underlining decoration.

QTextCharFormat.SingleUnderline

A line is drawn using SolidLine .

QTextCharFormat.DashUnderline

Dashes are drawn using DashLine .

QTextCharFormat.DotLine

Dots are drawn using DotLine ;

QTextCharFormat.DashDotLine

Dashes and dots are drawn using DashDotLine .

QTextCharFormat.DashDotDotLine

Underlines draw drawn using DashDotDotLine .

QTextCharFormat.WaveUnderline

The text is underlined using a wave shaped line.

QTextCharFormat.SpellCheckUnderline

The underline is drawn depending on the SpellCheckUnderlineStyle theme hint of QPlatformTheme. By default this is mapped to WaveUnderline, on macOS it is mapped to DotLine.

Constant

Description

PySide6.QtGui.QTextCharFormat.anchorHref()#

Return type:: str

Returns the text format’s hypertext link, or an empty string if none has been set.

See also

setAnchorHref()

PySide6.QtGui.QTextCharFormat.anchorNames()#

Return type:: list of strings

Returns the anchor names associated with this text format, or an empty string list if none has been set. If the anchor names are set, text with this format can be the destination of a hypertext link.

Note

This function returns a QVariant for historical reasons. It will be corrected to return QStringList in Qt 7. The variant contains a QStringList object, which can be extracted by calling toStringList() on it.
