Property Documentation

[read-only] boundingRectangle : const QRectF

This property holds the overall bounding rectangle (convex hull) around bounds.

Access functions:

QRectF boundingRectangle() const

[read-only] bounds : const QList<QPolygonF>

This property holds a set of regions that the selected text occupies on the page, represented as polygons. The coordinate system for the polygons has the origin at the upper-left corner of the page, and the units are points.

Note: For now, the polygons returned from QPdfDocument::getSelection() are always rectangles; but in the future it may be possible to represent more complex regions.

Access functions:

QList<QPolygonF> bounds() const

[read-only] endIndex : const int

This property holds the index at the end of text within the full text on the page.

Access functions:

int endIndex() const

[read-only] startIndex : const int

This property holds the index at the beginning of text within the full text on the page.

Access functions:

int startIndex() const

[read-only] text : const QString

This property holds the selected text.

Access functions:

QString text() const

[read-only] valid : const bool

This property holds whether the selection is valid.

Access functions:

bool isValid() const
