In this article we will see how we can get the layout direction of the QDockWidget. QDockWidget provides the concept of dock widgets, also know as tool palettes or utility windows. Dock windows are secondary windows placed in the dock widget area around the central widget in a QMainWindow(original window). Layout specifies how the children get arranged, by setting layout direction we can specify the order of the arrangement, it can be set with the help of setLayoutDirection method.
In order to do this we will use layoutDirection method with the dock widget object.
Syntax : dock.layoutDirection()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns direction object
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, 500, 400) # calling method self.UiComponents() # showing all the widgets self.show() # method for components def UiComponents(self): # creating dock widget dock = QDockWidget(self) # setting title to the dock widget dock.setWindowTitle(" GfG ") # push button push = QPushButton("Press", self) # setting widget to the dock dock.setWidget(push) # setting layout direction dock.setLayoutDirection(Qt.RightToLeft) # creating a label label = QLabel("GfG", self) # setting geometry to the label label.setGeometry(100, 200, 300, 80) # making label multi line label.setWordWrap(True) # setting geometry tot he dock widget dock.setGeometry(100, 0, 200, 30) # getting layout direction of dock value = dock.layoutDirection() # setting text to the label label.setText("Layout Direction : " + str(value))# create pyqt5 appApp = QApplication(sys.argv)# create the instance of our Windowwindow = Window()# start the appsys.exit(App.exec()) |
Output :
