In this article we will see how we can set orientation property of QDial. This property holds the orientation of the slider, the orientation must be Vertical (the default) or Horizontal. For vertical orientation associated value is 2 and for horizontal orientation, it is 1.

In order to do this we use setOrientation method with the QDial object

Syntax : dial.setOrientation(orientation)

Argument : It takes Orientation object as argument

Return : It returns 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, 500, 400)
  
        # calling method
        self.UiComponents()
  
        # showing all the widgets
        self.show()
  
    # method for components
    def UiComponents(self):
  
        # creating QDial object
        dial = QDial(self)
  
        # setting geometry to the dial
        dial.setGeometry(100, 100, 100, 100)
  
        # making notch visible
        dial.setNotchesVisible(True)
  
        # setting orientation to it
        dial.setOrientation(Qt.Horizontal)
  
  
  
# create pyqt5 app
App = QApplication(sys.argv)
  
# create the instance of our Window
window = Window()
  
# start the app
sys.exit(App.exec())
