In this article we will see how we can create a multi-line label, when we create a label and set text to it and if the text length is greater then the length of the label extra text did not show, multi-line label make that extra text go into the other line. Below is the representation of how normal and multi-line label looks like

In order to do this we will use setWordWrap method.

Syntax : label.setWordWrap(True)

Argument : It takes bool as argument

Return : None

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, 600, 400)
  
        # calling method
        self.UiComponents()
  
        # showing all the widgets
        self.show()
  
    # method for widgets
    def UiComponents(self):
  
        # creating label
        label1 = QLabel("Normal label With out multi line", self)
  
        # setting geometry to the label
        label1.setGeometry(200, 150, 100, 50)
  
        # adding border to the label
        label1.setStyleSheet("border : 2px solid black;")
  
        # creating label
        label2 = QLabel("Multi label i.e With multi line", self)
  
        # setting geometry to the label
        label2.setGeometry(200, 250, 100, 50)
  
        # adding border to the label
        label2.setStyleSheet("border : 2px solid black;")
  
        # making it multi line
        label2.setWordWrap(True)
  
  
# create pyqt5 app
App = QApplication(sys.argv)
  
# create the instance of our Window
window = Window()
  
window.show()
  
# start the app
sys.exit(App.exec())
