In this article we will see how we can set graphic effect to the QCommandLinkButton. Graphic effect can be shadow, blur or color effect, these effect can be changed any time also new effects can be created any time. If there already is an effect installed on this command link button, QWidget will delete the existing effect before installing the new effect. Graphic effect can set to the command link button with the help of setGraphicsEffect method.
In order to do this we use graphicsEffect method with the command link button object
Syntax : button.graphicsEffect()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns QGraphicEffect object
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, 500, 400) # calling method self.UiComponents() # showing all the widgets self.show() # method for components def UiComponents(self): # creating a command link button cl_button = QCommandLinkButton("Press", self) # setting geometry cl_button.setGeometry(250, 100, 200, 50) # shadow effect effect = QGraphicsDropShadowEffect() effect.setOffset(20, 20) # setting effect to the command link button cl_button.setGraphicsEffect(effect) # creating label label = QLabel("neveropen", self) # setting label geometry label.setGeometry(50, 100, 200, 80) # making label multiline label.setWordWrap(True) # getting graphic effect value = cl_button.graphicsEffect() # setting text to the label label.setText("Effect : " + str(value)) # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
