PyQt5 QDial – Getting Orientation Property
In this article, we will see how we can get orientation property of QDial. This property holds the orientation of the slider, the orientation must be Vertical (the default) or Horizontal. For vertical orientation associated value is 2 and for horizontal orientation, it is 1, it can be set to the QDial with the help of setOrientation method.
In order to do this we use orientation method with the QDial object
Syntax : dial.orientation()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It returns Orientation object but when printed it shows the associated value of orientation
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 QDial object dial = QDial(self) # setting geometry to the dial dial.setGeometry(100, 100, 100, 100) # making notch visible dial.setNotchesVisible(True) # setting orientation to it dial.setOrientation(Qt.Horizontal) # creating a label label = QLabel("zambiatek", self) # setting geometry to the label label.setGeometry(220, 125, 200, 60) # making label multiline label.setWordWrap(True) # getting orientation value = dial.orientation() # setting text to the label label.setText("Orientation : " + str(value)) # create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Window window = Window() # start the app sys.exit(App.exec()) |
