  \brief 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. 

  QwtMathMLTextEngine can be found in Qwt MathML extension, that
  needs the MathML renderer of the Qt solutions package. Unfortunately
  it is only available with a commercial Qt license.
