PyQt5 – Different padding size at different edge of Label

0 0 1 minute read

In this article, we will see how we can add different padding size at different edges. Below is a image of label with normal padding and a label with different padding size at different edge.

In order to do this we will use setStyleSheet() method and describe padding length for each edge.

Syntax :
label.setStyleSheet("border :3px solid black;"
                    "padding-top : 20px;"
                    "padding-left:30px;"
                    "padding-right:10;"
                    "padding-bottom :5px;")
Argument : It takes string as argument.

Action performed : It will add padding to respective edges with respective lengths.

Code :

# 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") 
  
        # setting  the geometry of window 
        self.setGeometry(60, 60, 600, 400) 
  
  
        # creating a label widget 
        self.label_1 = QLabel("padding", self) 
  
        # moving position 
        self.label_1.move(100, 100) 
  
        # setting up the border and padding 
        self.label_1.setStyleSheet("border :3px solid black;  
                                              padding :15px") 
  
        # resizing label 
        self.label_1.adjustSize() 
  
        # creating a label widget 
        self.label_2 = QLabel("padding", self) 
  
        # setting up the border  
        # and adding padding of different length to different edges 
        self.label_2.setStyleSheet("border :3px solid black;"
                                   "padding-top : 20px;"
                                   "padding-left:30px;"
                                   "padding-right:10;"
                                   "padding-bottom :5px;") 
  
        # moving position 
        self.label_2.move(230, 200) 
  
        # resizing the label 
        self.label_2.adjustSize() 
  
        # 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())
