## Detailed Description

The QGraphicsSimpleTextItem class provides a text item that you can add to a QGraphicsScene.

To set the item's text, pass a QString to QGraphicsSimpleTextItem's constructor, or call setText().

QGraphicsTextItem uses the text's formatted size and the associated font to provide a reasonable implementation of boundingRect(), shape(), and contains(). You can set the font by calling setFont().

QGraphicsSimpleText does not display rich text. It is optimized for drawing plain text fast and with low memory overhead.
