While designing any GUI (Graphical User Interface) there is a need to display plain text on screen, in order to do so Label widget is used in PyQt5.
A label is a graphical control element which displays text on a form. It is usually a static control; having no interactivity. A label is generally used to identify a nearby text box or other widget. Some labels can respond to events such as mouse clicks, allowing the text of the label to be copied, but this is not standard user-interface practice.
To use Labels in PyQt5 we have to import QLabel from PyQt5.QtWidgets , below is the syntax to do so.
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QLabel
After importing Qlabel, we can create Labels in our PyQt5 application.
Syntax :
self.label_name = QLabel(Info, self)
Here Info can be any text of string type.
Below is the Python implementation –
# importing the required libraries from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QLabel from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QMainWindow from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication import sys class Window(QMainWindow): def __init__(self): super().__init__() # set the title self.setWindowTitle("Label") # setting the geometry of window self.setGeometry(0, 0, 400, 300) # creating a label widget # by default label will display at top left corner self.label = QLabel('This is label', 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 :
