I'm new at PyQt, and I'm trying to create a main window containing two custom widgets, the first being a data grapher, the second being a QGridLayout containing QLabels. Problem is: the two widgets open in separate windows and have no content.
I've found multiple posts with a similar problem:
PyQt5 Custom Widget Opens in Another Window
Custom widget does not appear on Main Window
PyQt5 Custom Widget Opens in Another Window
And even a FAQ on this specific problem: https://www.pythonguis.com/faq/pyqt-widgets-appearing-as-separate-windows/
But I haven't been able to figure out why my code doesn't work. My aim is to obtain a result as shown below on the left, but instead I'm getting a result as shown on the right:
My code is the following (can be copied and run as it is):
from PyQt5.QtCore import Qt
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QLabel, QVBoxLayout, QWidget, QGridLayout
from PyQt5.QtGui import QFont
import sys
import pyqtgraph as pg
class CustomWidget_1(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super(CustomWidget_1, self).__init__()
self.channels = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
self.win = pg.GraphicsLayoutWidget(title='Plot', size=(800, 600))
self.plots = list()
self.curves = list()
for i in range(len(self.channels)):
p = self.win.addPlot(row=i, col=0)
p.showAxis('left', False)
p.setMenuEnabled('left', False)
p.showAxis('bottom', False)
p.setMenuEnabled('bottom', False)
self.plots.append(p)
curve = p.plot()
self.curves.append(curve)
self.win.show()
print('CustomWidget_1 initialized.')
class CustomWidget_2(QWidget):
def __init__(self, labelnames):
super(CustomWidget_2, self).__init__()
self.grid = QGridLayout()
self.labelnames = labelnames
self.qlabels = []
for label in self.labelnames:
labelBox = QLabel(label)
labelBox.setFont(QFont('Arial', 16))
labelBox.setStyleSheet('border: 2px solid black;')
labelBox.setAlignment(Qt.AlignCenter)
self.qlabels.append(labelBox)
index = self.labelnames.index(label)
q, r = divmod(index, 6)
self.grid.addWidget(labelBox, q, r)
print('CustomWidget_2 initialized.')
class MainWindow(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super(MainWindow, self).__init__()
self.labelnames = ['label 1', 'label 2', 'label 3']
self.CustomWidget_1 = CustomWidget_1()
self.CustomWidget_1.setParent(self)
self.CustomWidget_1.show()
self.CustomWidget_2 = CustomWidget_2(self.labelnames)
self.CustomWidget_2.setParent(self)
self.CustomWidget_2.show()
self.mainLayout = QVBoxLayout()
self.mainLayout.addWidget(self.CustomWidget_1)
self.mainLayout.addWidget(self.CustomWidget_2)
self.setLayout(self.mainLayout)
self.show()
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
predictVisualizer = MainWindow()
sys.exit(app.exec())
Could anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong and how I could fix it? Any pointers towards tutorials and/or templates would be greatly appreciated as well! Thanks!
you should write fewer lines of code and debug slowly, if you are new to pyqt5 you should read carefully the basic Layout creation, like you are creating a website interface, link: https://www.pythonguis.com/tutorials/pyqt-layouts/
This is the code I have edited, you can can refer:
import sys
from PyQt5.QtCore import QSize,Qt
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMainWindow, QWidget,QGridLayout,QVBoxLayout,QLabel,QHBoxLayout
from PyQt5.QtGui import QPalette, QColor
class CustomWidget_1(QWidget):
def __init__(self,color):
super(CustomWidget_1, self).__init__()
self.setAutoFillBackground(True)
layout = QGridLayout()
self.setLayout(layout)
self.setFixedSize(QSize(400,300))
palette = self.palette()
palette.setColor(QPalette.Window, QColor(color))
self.setPalette(palette)
class CustomWidget_2(QWidget):
def __init__(self,color):
super(CustomWidget_2, self).__init__()
self.setAutoFillBackground(True)
layout = QHBoxLayout()
self.setLayout(layout)
self.setFixedSize(QSize(400,134))
layout.setContentsMargins(70,0,0,0)
palette = self.palette()
palette.setColor(QPalette.Window, QColor(color))
self.setPalette(palette)
Label1 = QLabel()
Label1.setText('abc')
Label2 = QLabel()
Label2.setText('sad')
Label3 = QLabel()
Label3.setText('qv')
layout.addWidget(Label1)
layout.addWidget(Label2)
layout.addWidget(Label3)
class MainWindow(QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
super(MainWindow, self).__init__()
self.setWindowTitle("My App")
layout = QVBoxLayout()
layout.addWidget(CustomWidget_1("blue"))
layout.addWidget(CustomWidget_2("red"))
widget = QWidget()
widget.setLayout(layout)
self.setCentralWidget(widget)
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
window = MainWindow()
window.show()
app.exec()
I use the following code to set a PySide6 app to the minimal possible size. This works fine when increasing the size of the widgets (set - to + in line 37), but not when decreasing it - in effect, the size of the windows does decrease, but it seems to be one step late.
I found a few workarounds, most notably in Qt Layout, resize to minimum after widget size changes, but none of what I tried seems to be working (and I have met other issues with app.processEvents(), which should be avoided anyway).
Edit: In the new code example below, I think the problem is the width of the QPushButton, which is calculated too late.
Interestingly, this width of the QPushButton is solved by the layout.setSizeConstraint(QLayout.SetFixedSize) workaround, but the window width is not.
app.processEvents() works for this example, but I see bad side effects on other signals when using it.
New code example:
from PySide6.QtCore import Qt
from PySide6.QtGui import QPixmap
from PySide6.QtWidgets import (QApplication, QLabel, QLayout, QMainWindow,
QPushButton, QVBoxLayout, QWidget)
class Window(QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.i = 0
self.button = QPushButton("push me!")
self.button.clicked.connect(self.clicked)
self.label = QLabel()
layout = QVBoxLayout()
layout.addWidget(self.button)
layout.addWidget(self.label)
# https://stackoverflow.com/a/21458822/880783
# layout.setSizeConstraint(QLayout.SetFixedSize) # (ineffective)
widget = QWidget()
widget.setLayout(layout)
self.setCentralWidget(widget)
self.setWindowFlag(Qt.MSWindowsFixedSizeDialogHint)
self.clicked()
self.show()
def clicked(self):
npix = 500 - 50 * self.i
self.label.setPixmap(QPixmap(npix, npix))
# app.processEvents() # (effective, but discouraged)
self.adjustSize()
self.i += 1
app = QApplication()
win = Window()
app.exec()
Original code example:
import threading
import time
from PySide6.QtCore import Qt
from PySide6.QtGui import QPixmap
from PySide6.QtWidgets import (
QApplication,
QHBoxLayout,
QLabel,
QLayout,
QMainWindow,
QWidget,
)
class Window(QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.label = QLabel()
layout = QHBoxLayout()
layout.addWidget(self.label)
# https://stackoverflow.com/a/21458822/880783
# layout.setSizeConstraint(QLayout.SetFixedSize) # (ineffective)
widget = QWidget()
widget.setLayout(layout)
self.setCentralWidget(widget)
self.setWindowFlag(Qt.MSWindowsFixedSizeDialogHint)
self.show()
def run(self):
for i in range(10):
npix = 500 - 50 * i
self.label.setPixmap(QPixmap(npix, npix))
# app.processEvents() # (ineffective)
self.adjustSize()
time.sleep(1)
app = QApplication()
threading.Thread(target=Window().run).start()
app.exec()
#musicamante has posted very helpful comments, which I now turn into an answer.
Basically, this code works great:
from PySide6.QtCore import QMetaObject, Qt, QTimer, Slot
from PySide6.QtGui import QPixmap
from PySide6.QtWidgets import (QApplication, QLabel, QMainWindow, QPushButton,
QVBoxLayout, QWidget)
class Window(QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.i = 0
self.button = QPushButton("push me!")
self.button.clicked.connect(self.clicked)
self.label = QLabel()
layout = QVBoxLayout()
layout.addWidget(self.button)
layout.addWidget(self.label)
widget = QWidget()
widget.setLayout(layout)
self.setCentralWidget(widget)
self.setWindowFlag(Qt.MSWindowsFixedSizeDialogHint)
self.clicked()
self.show()
# #Slot()
# def adjustSize(self):
# super().adjustSize()
def clicked(self):
npix = 500 - 50 * self.i
self.label.setPixmap(QPixmap(npix, npix))
self.i += 1
# # As in https://stackoverflow.com/a/23954088/880783 - does not work
# QMetaObject.invokeMethod(self, "adjustSize")
# This works!
QTimer.singleShot(0, self.adjustSize)
app = QApplication()
win = Window()
app.exec()
As one can see, I have also tried the approach put forward https://stackoverflow.com/a/23954088/880783 - without success, however.
it's a simple application. Just one label and three buttons. But the layout is making me trouble.
I want to have the childlayout for the label and the childlayout for the buttons to have the same height. But I can't get it to work. Neither with BoxLayouts nor with GridLayouts. I tried to addStretch, so both layouts have the same stretchfactor, and various different stuff. I'm sure the answer is easy but I can't figure it out.
I also tried it in QtDesigner, so I could inspect and compare the codeparts, but:
I designed this
and got this when running the code, again the buttons stick to the bottom and dont have the same height as the label
However, here's my code:
(I know that the Grid Layout is not necessary here, it was just some sort of trying to solve the problem. Anyways I don't think that the Grid Layout is the problem, as I had the same problems with BoxLayouts or just the label without a layout.)
import sys
from PyQt5 import QtCore
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QWidget, QApplication, QHBoxLayout, QLabel, QVBoxLayout, QPushButton, QGroupBox, \
QGridLayout, QMainWindow, QSizePolicy
class Window(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.setGeometry(100, 50, 400, 300)
self.setWindowTitle("Fretboard Note Quiz")
self.layout()
self.show()
def layout(self):
glay = QGridLayout()
self.setLayout(glay)
hbox1 = QHBoxLayout() #upper layout for label
hbox2 = QHBoxLayout() #bottom layout for buttons
btn1 = QPushButton("1")
btn2 = QPushButton("2")
btn3 = QPushButton("3")
#adding the buttons to the bottom layout
hbox2.addWidget(btn1)
hbox2.addWidget(btn2)
hbox2.addWidget(btn3)
label = QLabel("Text")
hbox1.addWidget(label)
glay.addLayout(hbox1, 0, 1)
glay.addLayout(hbox2, 1, 1)
glay.setRowStretch(0, 1)
glay.setRowStretch(1, 1)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
win = Window()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
In this case, the simplest thing is to use a QWidget as a container since by default they are stretched in the same way as the QLabel, so they will try to occupy the same space.
The problem with your initial code is that the stretch factors do not apply to layouts but to widgets.
Finally layout() is a method so do not hide it using it for other things, the names of the functions should describe the action of the method.
import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import (
QApplication,
QHBoxLayout,
QLabel,
QPushButton,
QVBoxLayout,
QWidget,
)
class Window(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.setGeometry(100, 50, 400, 300)
self.setWindowTitle("Fretboard Note Quiz")
self.build_layout()
def build_layout(self):
btn1 = QPushButton("1")
btn2 = QPushButton("2")
btn3 = QPushButton("3")
label = QLabel("Text")
button_container = QWidget()
hlay = QHBoxLayout(button_container)
hlay.addWidget(btn1)
hlay.addWidget(btn2)
hlay.addWidget(btn3)
vlay = QVBoxLayout(self)
vlay.addWidget(label)
vlay.addWidget(button_container)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
win = Window()
win.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
Maybe you could set the minimunHeight of your buttons like:
ui.pushButton.setMinimumHeight(100)
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QLabel, QWidget, QFileDialog, QPushButton, QLineEdit,QVBoxLayout, QHBoxLayout
from PyQt5.QtCore import *
from PyQt5.QtGui import QPixmap
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QPushButton, QDialog, QVBoxLayout
import Updated_encrypt
import sys
class Window(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.title = 'Encrypt/Decrypt'
self.top = 200
self.left = 500
self.width = 400
self.height = 300
self.InitWindow()
def InitWindow(self):
self.setWindowTitle(self.title)
self.setGeometry(self.left, self.top, self.width, self.height)
vbox = QVBoxLayout()
self.button1 = QPushButton('Encrypt')
self.button1.clicked.connect(self.openSecondDialog)
self.button2 = QPushButton('Decrypt')
vbox.addWidget(self.button1)
vbox.addWidget(self.button2)
self.setLayout(vbox)
self.show()
def openSecondDialog(self):
hbox = QVBoxLayout()
mydialog = QDialog(self)
mydialog.show()
self.button2 = QPushButton('Check Image')
self.button2.clicked.connect(self.getImage)
hbox.addWidget(self.button2)
self.setLayout(hbox)
self.show()
def getImage(self):
hbox = QHBoxLayout()
file_Name = QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(self,
'OpenFile',
'',
'')
image_path = file_Name[0]
updatedImage = Updated_encrypt.decrypt(image_path, 123)
pixmap = QPixmap(updatedImage)
self.label.setPixmap(QPixmap(pixmap))
self.resize(pixmap.width(), pixmap.height())
App = QApplication(sys.argv)
window = Window()
sys.exit(App.exec())
I have my code set up to implement an algorithm to modify an image when my I select it from my pop up dialogue. What I am trying to accomplish is for the image to pop up in a separate window when I click the encrypt button. I can't seem to get anything to pop up in the separate window aside from the window itself. Any help would be appreciated.
You have at least the following errors:
The "hbox" created is being added to the window and not to the QDialog: self.setLayout(hbox), it must be mydialog.setLayout(hbox).
Do not use the same name for 2 different objects as they can cause problems, in your case there are 2 QPushButton assigned to the variable "self.button2".
You try to use the variable "self.label" but never believe it.
Considering the above we can make the following improvements:
Use more descriptive names to easily distinguish their function.
If you are going to have a window that has a different objective, it is better to create a class.
The above avoid the indicated problems, considering the above the solution is:

I've created aQMainWindow with menubar and 4 dockable widgets. First dockwidget contents multipletabs, second is Qpainter widget, third is Matlabplot and fourth is pdf report.
When I run the code shows up like this below.
I want to be like below.
I want to divide screen into four widget automatically whenever it runs at any screen, And I want to have tabs to resize to its content.
Or do you have any better idea of having such widget, you are welcome to come with it.
Update of code
Resize of Qdockwidget brings this post forward. It seems that Qt Qdockwidget resize has been an issue for long time ago. I find it very difficult to program my Qmainwindow with 4 Qdockwidget, which the dock would fit and resize according to its contents, with other words, child widget. and According to Qt documentation, Qdockwidget resizes and respect the size of child Widgets. to get straight to problem, my mainwindow has 4 qdockwidgets, I would like to have them resizable according to contents.
What I have tried and used so far.
I have used following size functions.
self.sizeHint, self.minimumSize(), self.maximumSize() and self.setFixedSize(self.sizeHint()).
I am able to fix the size of contents in first Qdockwidget by using following codes.
self.setFixedSize(self.sizeHint())
Above code is written in the child widgets Class widgets
But that is not enough in order to work it, despite following codes needed to run and effect.
self.first.setMinimumSize(self.first.sizeHint())
self.grid.setMinimumSize(self.grid.sizeHint())
self.third.setMinimumSize(self.third.sizeHint())
self.adjustSize()
self.first.setMinimumSize(self.first.minimumSizeHint())
self.grid.setMinimumSize(self.grid.minimumSizeHint())
self.third.setMinimumSize(self.third.minimumSizeHint())
Noting that still my dockwindow does not resize according to child widgets. Dockwidget expand and increase. One may ask, Qdockwidgets could arrange and control by resizeDocks(). This code line is used and tried, but still does not get the desired behaviour.
I have been looking around and could find some relevant questions.
C++ resize a docked Qt QDockWidget programmatically?
Forcing a QDockWidget to behave like a central widget when it comes to resizing
Create a QDockWidget that resizes to it's contents
Those questions do not solve my problem.
Visualization of my code launch
1- When code runs and display on screen.
2- Desired and wanted display by first run of software.
3- When user tabs between tabwidgets want to resize to its content as image below.
4- The code is given below.

I would appreciate much any help on this.
If floating windows aren't essential to your tool then you can try dropping QDockWidget and using a series of QSplitter instead. This way you can have your nice box layout while having tabs to resize horizontally and vertically, and still resizing properly when the tool as a whole resizes.
My example is in PySide2, but you'll probably need to do very minor tweaks to PyQt5 (probably just the import names):
from PySide2 import QtCore
from PySide2 import QtGui
from PySide2 import QtWidgets
class SubWindow(QtWidgets.QWidget):
def __init__(self, label, parent=None):
super(SubWindow, self).__init__(parent)
self.label = QtWidgets.QLabel(label, parent=self)
self.label.setAlignment(QtCore.Qt.AlignCenter)
self.label.setStyleSheet("QLabel {font-size:40px;}")
self.main_layout = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout()
self.main_layout.addWidget(self.label)
self.setLayout(self.main_layout)
class MainWindow(QtWidgets.QWidget):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(MainWindow, self).__init__(parent)
self.sub_win_1 = SubWindow("1", parent=self)
self.sub_win_2 = SubWindow("2", parent=self)
self.sub_win_3 = SubWindow("3", parent=self)
self.sub_win_4 = SubWindow("4", parent=self)
self.sub_splitter_1 = QtWidgets.QSplitter(QtCore.Qt.Horizontal, parent=self)
self.sub_splitter_1.addWidget(self.sub_win_1)
self.sub_splitter_1.addWidget(self.sub_win_2)
self.sub_splitter_2 = QtWidgets.QSplitter(QtCore.Qt.Horizontal, parent=self)
self.sub_splitter_2.addWidget(self.sub_win_3)
self.sub_splitter_2.addWidget(self.sub_win_4)
self.splitter = QtWidgets.QSplitter(QtCore.Qt.Vertical, parent=self)
self.splitter.addWidget(self.sub_splitter_1)
self.splitter.addWidget(self.sub_splitter_2)
self.main_layout = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout()
self.main_layout.addWidget(self.splitter)
self.setLayout(self.main_layout)
self.setWindowTitle("Layout example")
self.resize(500, 500)
inst = MainWindow()
inst.show()
This gives you something like this:
Right now the top/bottom horizontal splitters function separately, but you can easily tie them together with an event.
Hope that helps!
