In this article, we will see how to create dashed border of label in PyQt5 application. Generally, when we create a label with a border, the border is continuous, but we can make a dashed border as well. Below shown how normal and dashed borders are different.
In order to do we will use setStyleSheet() method.
Syntax : label.setStyleSheet(“border :3px black; border-style : dashed”)
Argument : It takes string as argument
Action performed : It makes the border dashed.
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("Normal border", self) # moving position self.label_1.move(100, 100) # setting up the border and padding self.label_1.setStyleSheet("border :3px solid black;") # resizing label self.label_1.resize(100, 80) # creating a label widget self.label_2 = QLabel("Dashed border", self) # setting up the dashed border self.label_2.setStyleSheet("border :3px solid black; border-style : dashed") # moving position self.label_2.move(230, 200) # resizing the label self.label_2.resize(100, 80) # 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 :
