How to change fontsize on drawText?

Question

QString str = QString::number((double)i, 'd', 1);
painter->drawText(100 + i * 800/9 - 6, 910, 40, 40, 0, str );

I would like to increase fontSize to 2x what is showing?

Answer 1

You could try something like this (haven't compiled code to see if it works!):

QFont font = painter->font() ;

/* twice the size than the current font size */
font.setPointSize(font.pointSize() * 2);

/* set the modified font to the painter */
painter->setFont(font);

/* draw text etc. */
painter.drawText(....);

Answer 2

Figured it out:

QFont font;
font.setPixelSize(12);

for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++){
    painter->drawLine(100, 100 + i * 800/9, 900, 100 + i * 800/9);
    str = QString::number((double)9 - i, 'd', 1);
    painter->setFont(font);
    painter->drawText(75, 100 + i * 800/9 - 6, 40, 40, 1, str);
}
