In order to add padding to our label, we will use setStyleSheet() method, below is how without padding label vs padded label looks like.

Syntax : label.setStyleSheet(“padding :15px”)

Argument : It takes string as argument.

Action performed : It adds padding to the label.

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("===============", self)
  
        # moving position
        self.label_1.move(100, 100)
  
        # setting up the border
        self.label_1.setStyleSheet("border :3px solid blue;")
  
        # resizing label
        self.label_1.resize(100, 100)
        # creating a label widget
        self.label_2 = QLabel("==================", self)
  
        # setting up the border and adding padding
        self.label_2.setStyleSheet("border :3px solid blue;padding :15px")
  
        # moving position
        self.label_2.move(230, 200)
  
        # resizing the label
        self.label_2.resize(100, 100)
  
        # 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())
