I wanted to get insight into widget resizing behavior I noticed, and it may have to do with wanting to create a set of push buttons in a grid. Here is a snippet:
import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import (
QApplication, QWidget, QGridLayout, QPushButton
)
class MainWindow(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.initUI()
def initUI(self):
self.setGeometry(10, 10, 780, 460)
self.setWindowTitle("Frame with Grid")
self.gLayout = QGridLayout()
self.setLayout(self.gLayout)
# Populate some data in grid cells
row = 0
for col in range(5):
pb = QPushButton(str(row) + ", " + str(col))
#pb.resize(50, 50)
styleStr = "QPushButton { padding-right: 20px; padding-left: 20px; }"
pb.setStyleSheet(styleStr)
self.gLayout.addWidget(pb, row, col)
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
window = MainWindow()
window.show()
sys.exit(app.exec())
The example creates the set of buttons, but I cannot get the padding on right and left to work as I expect.
I also tried explicitly resizing the PushButton but that too does not have the expected effect. My assumption is that I am doing something wrong, so any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
