Fixed spacing and multicoloured text?
Message 1 in thread
The problem: create a string that has the following format
(in printf style) "%4d %4d %4d %6d %6d... %6d" and fixed
spacing. Also each of the %6d has a colour which shows
which process it comes from.
Fixed format solution:
QString infoLabel;
QTextStream intval(&infoLabel);
intval.setRealNumberNotation(QTextStream::FixedNotation);
intval.setFieldWidth(5);
intval << s.x() << s.y() << s.z();
intval.setFieldWidth(7);
for(int i=0; i < nNoProcesses; i++)
intval << SourceVal(source[i]);
which works perfectly when using a fixed space font.
If I try to add colour to the process values:
for(int i=0; i < nNoProcesses; i++)
{
intval << " <font color=" << processcolour[i] <<"> ";
intval << SourceVal(source[i]) <<" </font>";
}
it works, but because the string is now interpreted as rich text
all of the spacing is ignored!
Is there any way to generate a string with both fixed space
and multicoloured output?

One way may be replacing all spaces by " " which is "real space"
in the rich text format., like this:
string=string.replace(" "," ");
