  \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 QwtTextEngine for this format.
  - Background\n
    A text might have a background, defined by a QPen and QBrush
    to improve its visibility.
  - 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.

    /*!
      \brief Text format

      The text format defines the QwtTextEngine, that is used to render
      the text.

      - AutoText\n
        The text format is determined using QwtTextEngine::mightRender for
        all available text engines in increasing order > PlainText.
        If none of the text engines can render the text is rendered
        like PlainText.
      - PlainText\n
        Draw the text as it is, using a QwtPlainTextEngine.
      - RichText\n
        Use the Scribe framework (Qt Rich Text) to render the text.
      - MathMLText\n
        Use a MathML (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MathML) render engine
        to display the text. The Qwt MathML extension offers such an engine
        based on the MathML renderer of the Qt solutions package. Unfortunately
        it is only available for owners of a commercial Qt license.
      - TeXText\n
        Use a TeX (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeX) render engine
        to display the text.
      - OtherFormat\n
        The number of text formats can be extended using setTextEngine.
        Formats >= OtherFormat are not used by Qwt.

      \brief Paint Attributes

      Font and color and background are optional attributes of a QwtText.
      The paint attributes hold the information, if they are set.

      - PaintUsingTextFont\n
        The text has an individual font.

        The text has an individual color.
      - PaintBackground\n
        The text has an individual background.

      \brief Layout Attributes

      The layout attributes affects some aspects of the layout of the text.

      - MinimumLayout\n
        Layout the text without its margins. This mode is useful if a
        text needs to be aligned accurately, like the tick labels of a scale.
        If QwtTextEngine::textMargins is not implemented for the format
        of the text, MinimumLayout has no effect.
