When we create a window, by default the window size is resizable, although we can use setMaximumSize() method to set the maximum size of the window. But what if we want to set maximum length only for width or height only. In order to do so we use setMaximumWidth() and setMaximumHeight() method to set maximum width / height. When we use these method other length will be variable i.e there will be no maximum length to it, it can be stretched to the size of screen.
Syntax :
self.setMaximumWidth(width) self.setMaximumHeight(height)Argument : Both takes integer as argument.
Action performed :
setMaximumWidth()sets the maximum width.
setMaximumHeight()sets the maximum height.
Code for maximum width –
# 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") width = 200 # setting the maximum width self.setMaximumWidth(width) # creating a label widget self.label_1 = QLabel("Maximum width", self) # moving position self.label_1.move(0, 0) # setting up the border self.label_1.setStyleSheet("border :3px solid black;") # resizing label self.label_1.resize(120, 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 :
