I cannot get some simple text to paint with an outline. I wanted red text with a black outline. So I did this:
Dialog::Dialog(QWidget *parent) : QDialog(parent), ui(new Ui::Dialog)
{
ui->setupUi(this);
scene = new QGraphicsScene(this);
ui->graphicsView->setScene(scene);
QBrush redbrush(Qt::red);
QPen blackpen(Qt::black);
blackpen.setWidth(15);
blackpen.setStyle(Qt::SolidLine);
QFont font;
font.setFamily("Times New Roman");
font.setPointSize(200);
txt = new QGraphicsSimpleTextItem();
txt->setText("Hi");
txt->setFont(font);
txt->setPen(blackpen);
txt->setBrush(redbrush);
scene->addItem(txt);
}
I get red text as I had wanted, but it does not have a black outline. What else must I do to make this work? If I change the color of the brush, the text will change color appropriately but I cannot get the QPen to paint its border into the scene. Any help would be appreciated. Must I override paint() for this class?
