In this article, we will see how to add padding to our Label. Padding is just the space between the border and the content. Below is image of label this will helps in better understanding of the padding.
In order to add padding to our label, we will use setStyleSheet() method, below is how without padding label vs padded label looks like.
Syntax : label.setStyleSheet(“padding :15px”)
Argument : It takes string as argument.
Action performed : It adds padding to the label.
Code :
# importing the required libraries from PyQt5.QtCore import * from PyQt5.QtGui import * from PyQt5.QtWidgets import * import sys class Window(QMainWindow): def __init__(self): super().__init__() # set the title self.setWindowTitle("Python") # setting the geometry of window self.setGeometry(60, 60, 600, 400) # creating a label widget self.label_1 = QLabel("===============", self) # moving position self.label_1.move(100, 100) # setting up the border self.label_1.setStyleSheet("border :3px solid blue;") # resizing label self.label_1.resize(100, 100) # creating a label widget self.label_2 = QLabel("==================", self) # setting up the border and adding padding self.label_2.setStyleSheet("border :3px solid blue;padding :15px") # moving position self.label_2.move(230, 200) # resizing the label self.label_2.resize(100, 100) # 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 :
