These properties hold the padding around the text.

This QML property was introduced in Qt Quick Ultralite 1.1.

Sets the horizontal and vertical alignment of the text within the Text items width and height. By default, the text is vertically aligned to the top and horizontally aligned to the left.

The valid values for horizontalAlignment are Text.AlignLeft, Text.AlignRight, and Text.AlignHCenter. The valid values for verticalAlignment are Text.AlignTop, Text.AlignBottom, and Text.AlignVCenter.

Note that for a single line of text, the size of the text is the area of the text. In this common case, all alignments are equivalent. If you want the text to be, say, centered in its parent, then you will need to either modify the Item::anchors, or set horizontalAlignment to Text.AlignHCenter and bind the width to that of the parent.

Specifies the position of the item's baseline in local coordinates.

The baseline is the imaginary line on which the text sits.

The text color.

An example of green text defined using hexadecimal notation:

Text {
    color: "#00FF00"
    text: "green text"
}

An example of steel blue text defined using an SVG color name:

Text {
    color: "steelblue"
    text: "blue text"
}

Set this property to elide parts of the text to fit the Text item's size.

Use one of the following values to elide text:

Text items must have their width defined explicitly for eliding text. If a text item contains multi-line text, it must have both width and height defined explicitly. Multi-line text supports Text.ElideRight only.

The elide mark follows the text's direction. For example:

• - Left-to-right (LTR) text direction.
• - The same text in Arabic has Right-to-left (RTL) text direction.

When elide mode is Text.ElideRight, the ellipsis glyph appear on the right side for LTR text and left side for RTL text.

The font used for displaying the text.

This property holds the rotation of the item in degrees clockwise around its transformOrigin.

The default value is 0 degrees (that is, no rotation).

Rectangle {
    color: "blue"
    width: 100; height: 100
    Text {
        text: "Rotated Text"
        color: "red"
        x: 25; y: 25
        rotation: 30
    }
}

This property was introduced in Qt Quick Ultralite 1.3.

See also Transform and Rotation.

This property holds the scale factor for this item.

A scale of less than 1.0 renders the item smaller, whereas a scale greater than 1.0 renders the item larger. A negative scale causes the item to be mirrored when rendered.

The default value is 1.0.

Scaling is applied from the transformOrigin.

import QtQuick 2.15

Rectangle {
    color: "blue"
    width: 100; height: 100

    Rectangle {
        color: "green"
        width: 25; height: 25
    }

    Text {
        text: "Scaled Text"
        color: "red"
        x: 25; y: 25
        scale: 1.4
        transformOrigin: Item.TopLeft
    }
}

This property was introduced in Qt Quick Ultralite 1.3.

See also Transform and Scale.

The text to display. Rich text (html) is not supported.

This property holds the list of transformations to apply.

For more information see Transform.

This property holds the origin point around which scale and rotation transform.

Nine transform origins are available, as shown in the image below. The default transform origin is Item.Center.

This example rotates a text around its bottom-right corner.

Text {
    text: "Hello"
    transformOrigin: Item.BottomRight
    rotation: 45
}

To set an arbitrary transform origin point use the Scale or Rotation transform types with transform.
