In this article we will see how we can set the letter spacing in the text of spin box, letter spacing is the distance(gap) in-between two consecutive letter. Spacing can be change by specifying the pixels or the percentage. In order to set the spacing using pixels we use QFont.AbsoluteSpacing is the type of spacing and for setting spacing using percentage we use QFont.PercentageSpacing is the type of spacing. In order to do this we use the setLetterSpacing method with the QFont object of the spin box
Syntax : font.setLetterSpacing(type, value) Argument : It takes two argument, first is type of spacing and other is the floating value 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 , 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 , 999999 )
# setting prefix to spin
self .spin.setPrefix("PREFIX ")
# setting suffix to spin
self .spin.setSuffix(" SUFFIX")
# getting font of the spin box
font = self .spin.font()
# setting letter spacing
font.setLetterSpacing(QFont.AbsoluteSpacing, 8 )
# reassigning this font to the spin box
self .spin.setFont(font)
# create pyqt5 app App = QApplication(sys.argv)
# create the instance of our Window window = Window()
# start the app sys.exit(App. exec ())
