/*!
  \brief A class representing a text

  A QwtText is a text including a set of attributes how to render it.

  - Format\n
    A text might include control sequences (f.e tags) describing
    how to render it. Each format (f.e MathML, TeX, Qt Rich Text)
    has its own set of control sequences, that can be handles by
    a special QwtTextEngine for this format.
  - Background\n
    A text might have a background, defined by a QPen and QBrush
    to improve its visibility. The corners of the background might
    be rounded.
  - Font\n
    A text might have an individual font.
  - Color\n
    A text might have an individual color.
  - Render Flags\n
    Flags from Qt::AlignmentFlag and Qt::TextFlag used like in
    QPainter::drawText().
