When we create a window, by default the window size is resizable although, we can use setMinimumSize() method to set the minimum size of the window. But what if we want to set minimum length only for width or height only, in order to do so we use setMinimumWidth() method to set minimum width and setMinimumHeight() method to set minimum height. When we use these method other length will be variable i.e there will be no minimum length to it, it can shrinks as much it can.
Syntax :
self.setMinimumWidth(width) self.setMinimumHeight(height)Argument : Both takes integer as argument.
Action performed.
setMinimumWidth()sets the minimum width.
setMinimumHeight()sets the minimum height.
Code for setting minimum 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 height = 200 # setting the minimum width self.setMinimumWidth(width) # creating a label widget self.label_1 = QLabel("Minimum 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 :
