In this article, we will see how to create dashed border of label in PyQt5 application. Generally, when we create a label with a border, the border is continuous, but we can make a dashed border as well. Below shown how normal and dashed borders are different.
In order to do we will use setStyleSheet()
method.
Syntax : label.setStyleSheet(“border :3px black; border-style : dashed”)
Argument : It takes string as argument
Action performed : It makes the border dashed.
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( "Normal border" , self )
# moving position
self .label_1.move( 100 , 100 )
# setting up the border and padding
self .label_1.setStyleSheet( "border :3px solid black;" )
# resizing label
self .label_1.resize( 100 , 80 )
# creating a label widget
self .label_2 = QLabel( "Dashed border" , self )
# setting up the dashed border
self .label_2.setStyleSheet("border : 3px solid black;
border - style : dashed")
# moving position
self .label_2.move( 230 , 200 )
# resizing the label
self .label_2.resize( 100 , 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 ())
