In this article we will see how to set padding to a check box. Padding is basically space between the border and the content. By default there is no padding space but with the help of style sheet we can set padding to a check box.
Below is the representation of normal check box vs check box which has padding.
Style sheet code to do this.
QCheckBox { border : 2px solid black; padding : 10px; }
Below is the implementation –
Python3
# 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 , 600 , 400 )
# calling method
self .UiComponents()
# showing all the widgets
self .show()
# method for widgets
def UiComponents( self ):
# creating the check-box
checkbox = QCheckBox( 'Geek ?' , self )
# setting tristate check box
checkbox.setTristate( True )
# setting geometry of check box
checkbox.setGeometry( 200 , 150 , 100 , 50 )
# adding border to the check box
# and padding
checkbox.setStyleSheet( "QCheckBox"
"{"
"border : 2px solid black;"
"padding : 10px;"
"}" )
# create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv)
# create the instance of our Window window = Window()
# start the app sys.exit(App. exec ())
