In this article we will see how to make simple PyQt5 application which print the message “Hello World !”
Code :
# importing the required libraries from PyQt5.QtWidgets import * import sys class Window(QMainWindow): def __init__(self): super().__init__() # set the title self.setWindowTitle("hellow world !") # set the geometry self.setGeometry(0, 0, 300, 300) # create label widget # to display content on screen self.label = QLabel("Hello World !!", self) # show all the widgets self.show() # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
Explanation :
First of all we have created the Window class which inherits QMainWindow class. Within this class we can add widgets which will get displayed on main window, we have used setWindowTiltle method to set title. setGeometry method to set size and position of the window and for displaying message we have used QLabel.
