For Qt 4.6.x, how to auto-size text to fit in a specified width?

Question

Inside of my QGraphicsRectItem::paint(), I am trying to draw the name of the item within its rect(). However, for each of the different items, they can be of variable width

Answer 1

You could have a QGraphicsTextItem as a child of the rect item, measure the text item's width and then scale the text item (setTransform()) to fit into the rect item's width (and height).
