Abstract base class for rendering text strings. 
A text engine is responsible for rendering texts for a specific text format. They are used by QwtText to render a text.
QwtPlainTextEngine and QwtRichTextEngine are part of the Qwt library. The implementation of QwtMathMLTextEngine uses code from the Qt solution package. Because of license implications it is built into a separate library.

Return margins around the texts
The textSize might include margins around the text, like QFontMetrics::descent. In situations where texts need to be aligend in detail, knowing these margins might improve the layout calculations.
- Parameters:
- 
  
    | font | Font of the text |  | text | Text to be rendered |  | left | Return value for the left margin |  | right | Return value for the right margin |  | top | Return value for the top margin |  | bottom | Return value for the bottom margin |  
 
Implemented in QwtRichTextEngine, QwtPlainTextEngine, and QwtMathMLTextEngine.
