PyQt5 – How to align Text of Label

In this article, we will see how we can align text of labels in PyQt5 application, we can align text in three different ways which are left, right and Center.
Syntax : 
 

label.setAlignment(QtCore.Qt.AlignLeft)
label.setAlignment(QtCore.Qt.AlignCenter)
label.setAlignment(QtCore.Qt.AlignRight)

In order to use this we have to import Qtcore from PyQt5 
 

from PyQt5 import QtCore

Below is the implementation :
 

Python3




# importing the required libraries
 
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
from PyQt5 import QtCore
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
        self.label_1 = QLabel('Left', self)
 
        # moving position
        self.label_1.move(100, 100)
 
        # setting up border
        self.label_1.setStyleSheet("border: 1px solid black;")
 
        # setting alignment to left
        self.label_1.setAlignment(QtCore.Qt.AlignLeft)
 
        # creating a label widget
        self.label_2 = QLabel('Center', self)
 
        # moving position
        self.label_2.move(100, 130)
 
        # setting up border
        self.label_2.setStyleSheet("border: 1px solid black;")
 
        # setting alignment to center
        self.label_2.setAlignment(QtCore.Qt.AlignCenter)
 
        # creating a label widget
        self.label_3 = QLabel('Right', self)
 
        # moving position
        self.label_3.move(100, 160)
 
        # setting up border
        self.label_3.setStyleSheet("border: 1px solid black;")
 
        # setting alignment to right
        self.label_3.setAlignment(QtCore.Qt.AlignRight)
 
        # 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 : 
 

pyqt5-align-label
