PyQt5 QSpinBox – Getting the size increment

In this article we will see how we can get the size increment value of spin box or not. Size increment is used when spin box size is changeable with the main window size. Base size is used to calculate a proper spin box size if the spin box defines sizeIncrement. By default, for a newly-created spin box, this property contains a size with zero width and height. WE can set the size increment value with the help of setSizeIncrement method.

Below is the formula for getting new spin box size when main window get bigger.

width = baseSize().width() + i * sizeIncrement().width()
height = baseSize().height() + j * sizeIncrement().height()

Here i, j are the size increment in the main window

In order to do this we use sizeIncrement method with the spin box object.

Syntax : spin_box.sizeIncrement()

Argument : It takes no argument

Return : It returns QSize object

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 spin box
        self.spin = QSpinBox(self)

        # setting geometry to spin box
        self.spin.setGeometry(100, 100, 250, 40)

        # setting range to the spin box
        self.spin.setRange(0, 9)

        # setting prefix to spin
        self.spin.setPrefix("PREFIX ")

        # setting suffix to spin
        self.spin.setSuffix(" SUFFIX")

        # setting size increment
        self.spin.setSizeIncrement(10, 10)

        # creating a label
        self.label = QLabel(self)

        # making label multi line
        self.label.setWordWrap(True)

        # setting label geometry
        self.label.setGeometry(100, 200, 250, 60)

        # getting the size increment value
        value = self.spin.sizeIncrement()

        # setting text to the label
        self.label.setText("Size increment : " + str(value))


# create pyqt5 app
App = QApplication(sys.argv)

# create the instance of our Window
window = Window()

# start the app
sys.exit(App.exec())

Output :
