In this article we will see how we can get the ascent of the spin box’s font i.e text. The ascent of a font is the distance from the baseline to the highest position characters extend to. In practice, some font designers break this rule, e.g. when they put more than one accent on top of a character, or to accommodate an unusual character in an exotic language, so it is possible (though rare) that this value will be too small.
In order to do this we use ascent method with the spin box’s QFontMetrics object.
Syntax : font_metrics.ascents()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns integer
Below is the implementation
# importing libraries from PyQt5.QtWidgets import * from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui from PyQt5.QtGui import * from PyQt5.QtCore import * import sys class Window(QMainWindow): def __init__(self): super().__init__() # setting title self.setWindowTitle("Python ") # setting geometry self.setGeometry(100, 100, 600, 400) # calling method self.UiComponents() # showing all the widgets self.show() # method for widgets def UiComponents(self): # creating spin box self.spin = QSpinBox(self) # setting geometry to spin box self.spin.setGeometry(100, 100, 250, 40) # setting range to the spin box self.spin.setRange(0, 999999) # setting prefix to spin self.spin.setPrefix("PREFIX ") # setting suffix to spin self.spin.setSuffix(" SUFFIX") # creating a label label = QLabel(self) # making label multi line label.setWordWrap(True) # setting geometry to the label label.setGeometry(100, 200, 300, 60) # getting font metrics f_metrics = self.spin.fontMetrics() # getting ascent ascent = f_metrics.ascent() # setting text to the label label.setText("Ascent : " + str(ascent)) # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
