QRect QFontMetrics::boundingRect(const QString & text, int len) const

Use the boundingRect() function in combination with QString::left() instead.

For example, if you have code like

QRect rect = boundingRect(text, len);

you can rewrite it as

QRect rect = boundingRect(text.left(len));

QRect QFontMetrics::boundingRect(int x, int y, int w, int h, int flags, const QString & text, int len, int tabStops = 0, int * tabArray = 0) const

Use the boundingRect() function in combination with QString::left() and a QRect constructor instead.

For example, if you have code like

QRect rect = boundingRect(x, y, w, h , flags, text, len,
                          tabStops, tabArray);

you can rewrite it as

QRect rect = boundingRect(QRect(x, y, w, h), flags, text.left(len),
                          tabstops, tabarray);

QSize QFontMetrics::size(int flags, const QString & text, int len, int tabStops = 0, int * tabArray = 0) const

Use the size() function in combination with QString::left() instead.

For example, if you have code like

QSize size = size(flags, str, len, tabstops, tabarray);

you can rewrite it as

QSize size = size(flags, str.left(len), tabstops, tabarray);
