In this article we will see how we can set the mask to the QCalendarWidget. Mask are basically used to hide the calendar, with the help of mask user will not be able to see the whole calendar although the calendar will still exist but there will be mask on it.
It causes only the pixels of the calendar for which bitmap has a corresponding 1 bit to be visible. If the region includes pixels outside the rectangle of the calendar, window system controls in that area may or may not be visible, depending on the platform.
In order to do this we will use
setMask
method with the QCalendarWidget object.Syntax : calendar.setMask(region)
Argument : It takes QRegion object or QBitMap object as argument
Return : It 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
# QCalendarWidget Class class Calendar(QCalendarWidget):
# constructor
def __init__( self , parent = None ):
super (Calendar, self ).__init__(parent)
self .setMouseTracking( True )
class Window(QMainWindow):
def __init__( self ):
super ().__init__()
# setting title
self .setWindowTitle( "Python " )
# setting geometry
self .setGeometry( 100 , 100 , 500 , 400 )
# calling method
self .UiComponents()
# showing all the widgets
self .show()
# method for components
def UiComponents( self ):
# creating a QCalendarWidget object
# as Calendar class inherits QCalendarWidget
self .calendar = Calendar( self )
# setting cursor
self .calendar.setCursor(Qt.PointingHandCursor)
# setting geometry to the calendar
self .calendar.setGeometry( 20 , 20 , 300 , 240 )
# QRect object
rect = QRect( 10 , 10 , 200 , 100 )
# creating a QRegion
region = QRegion(rect)
# setting mask to the calendar
self .calendar.setMask(region)
# create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv)
# create the instance of our Window window = Window()
# start the app sys.exit(App. exec ())
