In this article we will see how to set padding to a check box. Padding is basically space between the border and the content. By default there is no padding space but with the help of style sheet we can set padding to a check box.
Below is the representation of normal check box vs check box which has padding.
Style sheet code to do this.
QCheckBox
{
border : 2px solid black;
padding : 10px;
}
Below is the implementation –
Python3
# importing librariesfrom PyQt5.QtWidgets import *from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGuifrom PyQt5.QtGui import *from PyQt5.QtCore import *import sysclass 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 the check-box checkbox = QCheckBox('Geek ?', self) # setting tristate check box checkbox.setTristate(True) # setting geometry of check box checkbox.setGeometry(200, 150, 100, 50) # adding border to the check box # and padding checkbox.setStyleSheet("QCheckBox" "{" "border : 2px solid black;" "padding : 10px;" "}")# create pyqt5 appApp = QApplication(sys.argv)# create the instance of our Windowwindow = Window()# start the appsys.exit(App.exec()) |
