A label is a graphical control element which displays text on a form. 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.
In this article, we will see how to change the font and size of the text in Label, we can do this by using setFont() method.
Syntax : label.setFont(QFont(font_name, size))
Argument : It take two argument :
1. Font name it can be ‘Arial’, ‘Times’ etc.
2. Size to be set in integer.
Below is the Python implementation –
# importing the required libraries from PyQt5.QtWidgets import * from PyQt5.QtGui import * 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_1 = QLabel('Arial font', self) # moving position self.label_1.move(100, 100) # setting font and size self.label_1.setFont(QFont('Arial', 10)) # creating a label widget # by default label will display at top left corner self.label_2 = QLabel('Times font', self) # moving position self.label_2.move(100, 120) # setting font and size self.label_2.setFont(QFont('Times', 10)) # show all the widgets self.show() # create pyqt5 appApp = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Windowwindow = Window() # start the appsys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
