PyQt5 QCalendarWidget – Accessing Font Metrics
In this article we will see how we can get the font metrics of the QCalendarWidget. A font is a particular size, weight and style of a typeface. Each font was a matched set of type, one piece for each glyph. By changing font we can change the style of the text present in the calendar. We can change/set font using setFont method. Font metrics calculate the size of characters and strings for a given font of calendar.
In order to do this we will use
fontMetricsmethod with the QCalendarWidget object.Syntax : calendar.fontMetrics()
Argument : It takes no argument
Return : It return QFontMetrics object
Below is the implementation
# importing librariesfrom PyQt5.QtWidgets import * from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGuifrom 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, 650, 400) # calling method self.UiComponents() # showing all the widgets self.show() # method for components def UiComponents(self): # creating a QCalendarWidget object self.calender = QCalendarWidget(self) # setting geometry to the calender self.calender.setGeometry(50, 10, 400, 250) # setting cursor self.calender.setCursor(Qt.PointingHandCursor) # font font = QFont('Times', 5) # setting font to the calendar self.calender.setFont(font) # creating label to show the properties self.label = QLabel(self) # setting geometry to the label self.label.setGeometry(100, 280, 250, 60) # making label multi line self.label.setWordWrap(True) # getting font Metrics Object value = self.calender.fontMetrics() # setting text to the label self.label.setText("Font Metrics : " + str(value)) # create pyqt5 appApp = QApplication(sys.argv) # create the instance of our Windowwindow = Window() # start the appsys.exit(App.exec()) |
