I am a new to pyqt and need help with rotating the label. I am confused and cannot understand how to rotate the whole widget on a specific angle. Not the content of the widget, but the widget itself. I am searching for the solution but cannot find anything.
A QWidget does not support rotation, but a workaround is to insert the widget into a QGraphicsProxyWidget and add it to a QGraphicsScene, and then rotate the QGraphicsProxyWidget that visually generates the same widget rotation effect.
from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets
def main():
import sys
app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
label = QtWidgets.QLabel("Stack Overflow", alignment=QtCore.Qt.AlignCenter)
graphicsview = QtWidgets.QGraphicsView()
scene = QtWidgets.QGraphicsScene(graphicsview)
graphicsview.setScene(scene)
proxy = QtWidgets.QGraphicsProxyWidget()
proxy.setWidget(label)
proxy.setTransformOriginPoint(proxy.boundingRect().center())
scene.addItem(proxy)
slider = QtWidgets.QSlider(minimum=0, maximum=359, orientation=QtCore.Qt.Horizontal)
slider.valueChanged.connect(proxy.setRotation)
label_text = QtWidgets.QLabel(
"{}°".format(slider.value()), alignment=QtCore.Qt.AlignCenter
)
slider.valueChanged.connect(
lambda value: label_text.setText("{}°".format(slider.value()))
)
slider.setValue(45)
w = QtWidgets.QWidget()
lay = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout(w)
lay.addWidget(graphicsview)
lay.addWidget(slider)
lay.addWidget(label_text)
w.resize(640, 480)
w.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())

As #eyllanesc correctly explains, there's no "widget rotation" support in Qt (as in most standard frameworks).
There are a couple of tricks on your hand, though.
"Simple" label (not using a QLabel)
That's the "simple" solution. Since you're talking about a "label", that can be implemented using some math.
The biggest advantage in this approach is that the size hint is "simple", meaning that it's only based on the text contents (as in QFontMetrics.boundingRect()), and whenever the main font, text or alignment is changed, the size hint reflects them.
While it supports multi-line labels, the biggest problem about this approach comes in place if you need to use rich text, though; a QTextDocument can be used instead of a standard string, but that would require a more complex implementation for size hint computing.

QGraphicsView implementation
I would also like to expand the solution proposed by eyllanesc, as it is more modular and allows to use "any" widget; unfortunately, while his answer works as expected, I'm afraid that it's an answer that is just valid "for the sake of the argument".
From the graphical point of view, the obvious issues are the QGraphicsView visual hints (borders and background). But, since we're talking about widgets that might have to be inserted in a graphical interface, the size (and its hint[s]) require some care.
The main advantage of this approach is that almost any type of widget can be added to the interface, but due to the nature of per-widget size policy and QGraphicsView implementations, if the content of the "rotated" widget changes, perfect drawing will always be something hard to achieve.

As you can see, the "randomize" functions have very different results. While the second approach allows using more complex widgets, the first one better reacts to contents changes.
Using PySide2 or PyQt5, I want to make a table widget with header labels that are on a 45 degree angle, like in the image here.
I don't see anything like this in QtCreator (Designer) for the QTable widget. I can rotate a label using something like this:
class MyLabel(QtGui.QWidget):
def paintEvent(self, event):
painter = QtGui.QPainter(self)
painter.setPen(QtCore.Qt.black)
painter.translate(20, 100)
painter.rotate(-45)
painter.drawText(0, 0, "hellos")
painter.end()
But, there are several niggles. Ideally this would be a QLineEdit widget, I would need the widgets to 'play nice' so as not to overlap anything else, and I would like them to fill in above the table from the header. I'm looking for suggestions.
This is a very interesting topic, as Qt doesn't provide such a feature, but it can be implemented.
The following example is far from perfect, I'll list its main pros/cons.
Pros
it works ;-)
changing horizontal header labels automatically updates the header height
supports horizontal scrolling "over" the last item position (if the table view is smaller than its contents, the horizontal scrollbar allows to see the full header text)
it works :-D
Cons
sections are fixed
sections are not movable
QAbstractItemView.ScrollPerPixel is mandatory for the horizontal scroll mode in this implementation. Qt's ScrollPerItem mode is a bit complex, and has some issues if it's not overrided with huge care. This doesn't mean that it's not possible to use that mode, but it requires a lot of efforts, possibly by carefully reading and understanding the source code of both QTableView and QAbstractItemView. Long story short: ScrollPerItem works until you reach the maximum value of the horizontal scrollbar; at that point, the view will try to resize and adapt its viewport and scrollbar value/range, and the last header labels will be "cut out".
if all horizontal columns are visible (meaning that the items wouldn't require horizontal scrolling), the last horizontal headers are not completely shown, since the horizontal scroll bar is not required.
I think that it should be possible to support all header features (custom/stretchable section size, movable sections, item scroll, etc.), but it would require a very deep reimplementation process of both QTableView and QHeaderView methods.
Anyhow, that's the result I've got so far, which supports scrolling, painting, and basic mouse interaction (section highlight on click).

Table sized slightly after the right edge of the last horizontal column:

Please note that I edited the painting and click detection code using QTransforms instead QPolygons: while it's a bit more complex to understand its mechanics, it's faster than creating a polygon and computing its points each time a column header has to be drawn.
Also, I've added support for maximum header height (in case any header label get too long), and a "spacer" widget that shifts the vertical scrollbar to the actual "beginning" of the table contents.
musicamante posted such an excellent answer that I've used it as the basis to add a few more (stolen) bits. In this code, when a user double clicks an angled header they are greeted with a popup where they can rename the header. Because of the wonderful code that music provided, it redraws everything automatically.

I want to add a vertical line following the mouse_x position (working) and a horizontal line following the curve (and not mouse_y). In the pyqtgraph crosshair example, it shows how to add a crosshair following the mouse_x and mouse_y position. But that does not help that much.
The following code sets the vertical line position to mouse_x postion. But i dont know how to set the horizontal line's postion to the curves current y position (depending on where the mouse x position is).
data1 = 10000 + 15000 * pg.gaussianFilter(np.random.random(size=10000), 10) + 3000 * np.random.random(size=10000)
def mouseMoved(evt):
pos = evt[0]
if p1.sceneBoundingRect().contains(pos):
mousePoint = vb.mapSceneToView(pos)
index = int(mousePoint.x())
if index > 0 and index < len(data1):
label.setText("<span style='font-size: 12pt'>x=%0.1f, <span style='color: red'>y1=%0.1f</span>, <span style='color: green'>y2=%0.1f</span>" % (mousePoint.x(), data1[index], data2[index]))
vLine.setPos(mousePoint.x()) # here i set the vertical line's position to mouse_x position
#hLinePos = vb.mapToView( vLine.pos() )
hLine.setPos(data1[mousePoint.x()]) # <-- how do i set this horizontal line so it is kind of snaped to the curve
Maybe this crosshair widget can point you in the right direction

I implementing custom chart. But I stucked with mouse hitting detection with QPainterPath.
I tried with graphicsitem's shape(), boundingRect(). but that only checks rough shape of boundary.
I want to check mouse hit system with exact position on QPainterPath path instance. But seems to no api like that functionality.
My app's QGraphicsScene is set with same coordinate with QGraphicsView in view's resizeEvent().
scene: MyScene = self.scene()
scene.setSceneRect(self.rect().x(), self.rect().y(),
self.rect().width(), self.rect().height())
At the same time, my plot QGraphicsItem scales by QTransform.
plot: QGraphicsItem = scene.plot
trans = QTransform()
data = plot.df['data']
data = data - data.min()
data_max = data.max()
data_min = data.min()
trans.scale(self.width() / len(data),
self.height() / (data_max - data_min))
plot.trans = trans
plot.setTransform(trans)
And in the MyScene, add rect item mouse_rec. So, I check mouse_rec and plot item's path with mouse_rec.collidesWithPath(path)
It just works only with original path.
Here is all code. Just copy and paste, you could run it.
Red plot is original path and yellow plot is scaled path. Mouse hit check is only works with red plot...

Any idea checking mouse point with path ?? I first tried custom math function calculating [point <-> line] distance, but that need much time and making lagging app..
I will make not only line plot but also bar, area, points, candlestick plot.. Is there any idea to solve this problem?
You have to convert the position of the path with respect to the item that is scaled to the position relative to the scene using mapToScene():
if item and isinstance(item, MyItem):
print('collides path : ', self.mouse_rect.collidesWithPath(item.mapToScene(item.path)))
print('collides item : ', self.mouse_rect.collidesWithItem(item))
In my program that I have posted below, the user is suppose to click on a circle that is drawn using a specific color. Depending on whether or not the circle is colored yellow or blue, text will display in the same window as "Correct" or "Incorrect". The problem I am having is after the user click on a circle the text will display, but after the first try, the text that is in the window will remain, leading to the unfortuate problem of each subsequent click causing the new text to write over the previously displayed text. If anyone knows how to get the text to "reset" or "clear" that is in the window, so the window will be blank each time the user clicks, I will appreciate it. Thanks

You can do this, using undraw() method. Change your __init__ to:

and flash to
