autoresize text in qml


In the process of studying QML and QtQuick, the following question arose. How can I make the text automatically reduce the font size by decreasing the element in which it is located. Now I have this method

Rectangle {
id: main_window
width: 700
height: 500

property int main_w: main_window.width

Rectangle {
    width: 400
    height: 400
    anchors.centerIn: parent
    color: 'green'

    Text {
        text: "SIZE ME!!!"
        anchors.centerIn: parent
        color: 'white'
        font.pointSize: {
            if (main_window.main_w < main_window.width)
                return main_window.main_w / 35 // we need 20pt
            return main_window.width / 35
        }
        visible: {
            if (parent.width < 100)
                return false
            return true
        }
    }
}

It works, but not too elegantly. Maybe there are some methods that the text automatically resized. If the wrap in the ColumnLayout does not work.

Please help. Thank you

Here my code with fontSizeMode trying:

Rectangle {
id: root
width: 700
height: 700
property int mrg: 10   

Rectangle {
    anchors.centerIn: parent
    width: 400
    height: 400
    color: 'green'

    Text {
        id: field
        text: "Size me!"
        minimumPointSize: 10
        font.pointSize: 60
        fontSizeMode: Text.Fit
        color: 'white'
        anchors.centerIn: parent
    }
}
}

Solution

  • Use the Text elements fontSizeMode property to set autosizing (Text.HorizontalFit, Text.VerticalFit or Text.Fit). You can adjust the minimum font size with minimumPixelSize property.

    See Qt Documentation — Text QML Type — fontSizeMode for details.
